SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows\, such as Quilt National in Athens\, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania.

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:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Florence Flood\, November 1966
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Cage: \"How to get Started\"
DESCRIPTION:How to Get Started is a collaborative experiment that explores improvisation and the origin of ideas. In the piece\, three community leaders will take the stage with ten note cards containing present thoughts and concerns. They will shuffle the deck\, and speak “off the cuff” on each idea. Each monologue will be recorded in collaboration with a sound engineer and looped back as the next card is addressed\, creating\, in the end\, a complex acoustic layering of ideas. \n\nAbout HOW TO GET STARTED\nJohn Cage conceived HOW TO GET STARTED almost as an afterthought—a performance substituting for another that had been planned in 1989 for delivery at “Sound Design: An Invitational Conference on the Uses of Sound for Radio Drama\, Film\, Video\, Theater and Mu-sic” presented by Bay Area Radio Drama at Sprocket Systems\, Skywalker Ranch\, in Nicasio\, California. In his introduction\, Cage talks about the difficulty of initiating the creative process\, while exploring the usefulness of improvisation\, a subject about which he had long been deeply ambivalent. He proposes a col-laborative framework in which sound engineers capture and subsequently layer his extemporized monologue\, which consisted of ten brief commentaries on top-ics then of interest. This amounted to an experiment having to do with thinking in public\, before a live audience.\n\nTwenty years after John Cage's first and only performance of HOW TO GET STARTED in Nicasio\, the John Cage Trust and Slought Foundation joined forces to create an interactive installation enabling the public to add yet another layer to the mix: your extemporizations on your ten topics of interest\, in your voice. Drawing upon Cage’s realization of HOW TO GET STARTED as a script in effect\, performers have been invited to participate in its further life\, both in public settings and in the more intimate\, specially designed recording studio at Slought.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:An Intimate Look: Images of Kabuki Theaters and Actors in the Edo Period of Japan for Generalists
DESCRIPTION:Space is limited and registration is required. Please email umma-program- registration@umich.edu\n\nExhibition co-curators Natsu Oyobe and Mariko Okada will lead an in-depth exploration of Kabuki prints in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art. This workshop is designed for a general audience. Participants will become familiar with Kabuki prints and theater\, as well as the popular culture and society of the late Edo period.\n\nKabuki prints are filled with information on the popular culture and human experience of the late Edo Period. Kabuki attracted enormous attention and developed a huge following in the late Edo Period—a phenomenon comparable to contemporary movie and television stars. The prints’ enormous popularity contributed to advances in print technology\, facilitating an unprecedented speed of production and a sophisticated system of distribution and circulation.\nThis workshop is for generalists. Another workshop requiring a reading fluency of Japanese and a basic knowledge of Kabuki theater will be offered on Friday\, November 4\, 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Registration is required for both workshops. Email umma-program-registration@umich.edu.\n\nLead support for the exhibition Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:John Cage: \"How to get Started\" sound installation
DESCRIPTION:Sound installation of John Cage's \"How to Get Started\,\" featuring a library of previous performances.\n\nAbout \"How to Get Started\": John Cage conceived HOW TO GET STARTED almost as an afterthought—a performance substituting for another that had been planned in 1989 for delivery at “Sound Design: An Invitational Conference on the Uses of Sound for Radio Drama\, Film\, Video\, Theater and Mu-sic” presented by Bay Area Radio Drama at Sprocket Systems\, Skywalker Ranch\, in Nicasio\, California.  In his introduction\, Cage talks about the difficulty of initiating the creative process\, while exploring the usefulness of improvisation\, a subject about which he had long been deeply ambivalent.  He proposes a col-laborative framework in which sound engineers capture and subsequently layer his extemporized monologue\, which consisted of ten brief commentaries on top-ics then of interest.  This amounted to an experiment having to do with thinking in public\, before a live audience.\n\nTwenty years after John Cage's first and only performance of HOW TO GET STARTED in Nicasio\, the John Cage Trust and Slought Foundation joined forces to create an interactive installation enabling the public to add yet another layer to the mix: your extemporizations on your ten topics of interest\, in your voice. Drawing upon Cage’s realization of HOW TO GET STARTED as a script in effect\, performers have been invited to participate in its further life\, both in public settings and in the more intimate\, specially designed recording studio at Slought.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. Isolating Gaza: Enforced Immobility and the Production of an “Open-Air Prison”
DESCRIPTION:A strip of land around 25 miles long and 7 miles across at its widest point\, access to the Gaza Strip is controlled\, and severely limited\, by Israel (from the north\, east\, and the sea to the west) and Egypt (to the south). In the past fifteen years Gaza has not only been targeted for attack\, but also victimized by enforced immobility. Through years of policies of increasing control\, closure\, and blockade\, Israel has created this vulnerability and it has then deployed immobility as a lethal weapon. This talk traces the trajectory of movement control in Gaza and considers how Gazans have lived with and against these restrictions. \n    \nIlana Feldman is Professor of Anthropology\, History\, and International Affairs at George Washington University. She is the author of Governing Gaza: Bureaucracy\, Authority\, and the Work of Rule\, 1917-67 (Duke University Press\, 2008) and Police Encounters: Security and Surveillance in Gaza under Egyptian Rule (Stanford University Press\, 2015)\; and co-editor (with Miriam Ticktin) of In the Name of Humanity: The Government of Threat and Care (Duke University Press\, 2010). \n\n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Photoferrotrophy and the Evolution of Earth Surface Chemistry and Life
DESCRIPTION:Photoferrotrophic bacteria harness energy from sunlight to fix inorganic carbon into biomass while oxidizing ferrous iron. They thus populate illuminated\, iron-rich (ferruginous) environments where they contribute to biogeochemical cycling of carbon\, iron and many other elements. Though rare on Earth today\, ferruginous conditions were the hallmark of the low oxygen oceans of the Precambrian eons. Photoferrotrophs likely populated these early ferruginous oceans driving primary production and supporting the Precambrian biosphere. Emerging insight from modern photoferrotrophic bacteria suggests that Precambrian photoferrotrophs could have played a pivital role in the evolution of atmospheric chemistry and life over billions of years of Earth’s early history. This seminar will present these recent advances and propose a new model for the evolution of Earth’s early atmosphere and life in the Precambrian eons.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Analysis\, Dynamics and Geometry
DESCRIPTION:When constructing a polynomial P whose Julia set has a desired \"shape\" S\, a strategy is to make |P| roughly constant on S.  When S is a disjoint union of smooth Jordan domains\, this can be accomplished by equidistributing the roots of P in the boundary of S according to harmonic measure.  Why does this work\, and what are the actual values of these polynomials?  I will discuss how answering this question involves relating the Poisson kernel (the density of harmonic measure) to contour integrals on various canonical conformal representations of S^c.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:Over a decade ago\, Welschinger defined real enumerative invariants in dimensions 2 and 3. It has remained an open problem to extend these invariants to higher dimensions. I will discuss a solution to this problem in the language of open Gromov-Witten theory. The key idea is that boundary point constraints should be replaced with canonical gauge equivalence classes of Maurer-Cartan elements (bounding chains) in the relevant Fukaya A-infinity algebra. The resulting invariants satisfy a version of the open WDVV equation\, which determines all invariants for projective spaces. Conjugation symmetry does not place an essential role in our arguments. \n\nThis is joint work with S. Tukachinsky. Speaker(s): Jake Solomon (IAS)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Matters of Graphene
DESCRIPTION:Dark matter remains one of the principal motivators for new physics beyond the Standard Model. Although it comprises the vast majority of the matter in the Universe\, its properties continue to elude us. For decades\, Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) have served as the primary theoretical paradigm for dark matter. However\, as a wide variety of experiments put such models to the test with no definitive detections\, we are challenged to reevaluate this canonical scenario. I will discuss the theoretical motivations and experimental prospects for moving beyond the WIMP paradigm. The focus will be on direct detection experiments\, which aim to discover dark matter via its scattering off targets located deep underground. I will present a new proposal to use two-dimensional materials\, such as graphene\, as targets for dark matter that is lighter than a WIMP. This proposal provides the first opportunity for directional detection down to MeV masses\, and can be implemented by the PTOLEMY experiment.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of last week's talk: The relation between (standard) orthogonal polynomials and random matrix theory is\, by now\, somewhat classical. In rough terms\, we can express the partition function (and many other related quantities) of random matrix models in terms of orthogonal polynomials\, so that asymptotic questions in random matrix theory can be immediately translated to the asymptotic theory of orthogonal polynomials. A natural generalization of standard orthogonality on the real line is provided by non-Hermitian orthogonality\, where the standard bona fide inner product is replaced by orthogonality with respect to a non-Hermitian bilinear form\, typically expressed in terms of contour integrals in the complex plane. Although the direct connection to random matrix theory is lost\, the formal partition function associated to the model is meaningful to enumeration problems of graphs in compact Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Hence the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials is still of interest. However\, due to the analytic character of the integrands defining the orthogonality there is a lot of freedom in the choice of contour of integration for the orthogonality\, and consequently classical potential-theoretic techniques have to be suitably adapted and improved in combination with more recent Riemann-Hilbert methods. In the first part of our talk\, we will survey some old and not-so-old results on the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials\, focusing on how their asymptotics can be extracted with the aid of the S-curves. This first part is partially based on joint work with Arno Kuijlaars (KU Leuven - Belgium). But this story is not yet over! Another generalization of standard or- thogonality is provided by the multiple orthogonality\, where the conditions of orthogonality are split into two (or more) measures. This generalization is again physically meaningful: many random matrix models (and also random path models) can be described in terms of such multiple orthogonal polynomials. However\, the asymptotic analysis of such polynomials has so far been restricted to situations involving symmetries in the model. So in the second part of our talk we plan to discuss some more recent developments towards removing such symmetry constraints. This is an ongoing project with Andrei Martinez-Finkelshtein (Universidad de Almeria - Spain)\, and as such the whole picture is not yet complete. At any rate we will talk about how the S-contour business can be generalized to this situation\, and how a salad of critical measures and quadratic differentials comes to the table.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker: Social Media in Political Branding: Narendra Modi and the New Twitter Technocrat
DESCRIPTION:Social media such as Twitter and Facebook are increasingly central to political communication with the citizenry. In over 30 low- and middle-income countries\, both the head of government and primary opposition leader have significant social media campaigns\, despite internet access and social media still widely outside the reach of the vast majority of the voting population. In this talk\, we explore the factors that make social media an attractive form of outreach for political leaders\, examining the case of one of the most successful social media campaigns – that of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. With over 22 million followers on Twitter and over 35 million “likes” on Facebook\, Modi has a means of directly reaching the citizenry or addressing the mainstream media through social media channels. His campaign on social media offers an important example on the symbolic value of technology in the political campaign. We examine the frequency\, tenor\, and popularity of messages\, the evolution of thematic discussions\, and the use of political metaphor in Modi’s sharpening of a new populist discourse as leader of an aspirational\, global India.\n\nAbout Joyojeet:\n\nJoyojeet Pal is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Information where his work focuses on user experience and accessibility in low- and middle-income countries. His recent research looks at the use of social media in political communication in India\, specifically on the role of political branding online in India. He has also researched and produced the feature documentary\, “For the Love of a Man” based on the religious\, political\, and economic origins of fan following for film stars in South Indian Cinema.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Eastern Studies Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:In seventeenth-century Isfahan\, poetry could be heard everywhere\, from the shops of craftsman to the homes of the nobility\, and members of all social classes tried their hand at composing verses. But the very prevalence of poetry threatened to make it commonplace and reduce it to a leisurely pastime\, posing a formidable problem for a writer pursuing a vocation as a literary artist. No poet faced this challenge with greater determination or success than Sā’eb Tabrizi (d. 1676). This talk examines the social practice of poetry in Safavid Isfahan and shows how Sā’eb fashioned his career and his public persona to achieve his position as the preeminent poet of not only Isfahan\, but the larger Persianate world.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows\, such as Quilt National in Athens\, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania.

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:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery. Refreshments will be served.

DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography & Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Paid Maternity Leave and the Role of Disability Insurance Abstract:\nHow would a national paid leave policy affect the labor-market activity of American women? I explore this question by examining the nation's first paid-leave entitlement for mothers. The passage of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 effectively created paid maternity leave for women with employer-sponsored short-term disability insurance. This policy was particularly relevant for women in five states with long-standing programs that made short-term disability insurance virtually universal. I present evidence that the law led to an increase in leave-taking\, especially among less-educated working women. Cross-sectional evidence suggests that for working women\, access to government-mandated disability insurance benefits results in about 2 fewer weeks spent at work in the 5 months around childbirth\, a 19% decrease relative to the comparison group. Employment among new mothers in states with disability insurance programs falls by about 6 percentage points in the months immediately after childbirth\, but appears to recover completely by month 6.\n\nFederal Transfers and Government Accountability in Indonesia Abstract:\nSubnational governments in developing countries rely heavily on transfers from the central government to finance public spending\, yet little is known about the relative merits of different transfer arrangements. This paper examines the effects of two large federal grant programs in Indonesia. The first grant is allocated based on fiscal need\, with fairly stable and predictable disbursements over time. The second grant is tied to local oil and gas production and is quite volatile. We exploit a policy reform and variation in resource endowments to estimate local government responses to the two grants. Research on other developing countries finds disappointing effects of federal grants\, which researchers often attribute to corruption and low political accountability. We use the staggered introduction of direct democracy to Indonesian districts to examine the role of political accountability.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The 20th Century Origins of the Middle East Conflict
DESCRIPTION:The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire (1918) and the Iranian Revolution (1979) changed the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East.  We’ll examine how these events have destabilized the region and led to the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS). \n\nThe class draws from four texts\, which are helpful--though not required--reading: War that Ended Peace (M. McMillan)\; Balfour Declaration (J. Schneer)\; Lawrence in Arabia (S. Anderson)\; and Myth of the Great Satan (A. Milani). \n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will meet for two hours on Tuesdays from November 1 through December 13 and by led by instructor Al Gourdji who has taught on the Ottoman Empire and Iranian history and has given a Distinguished Lecture on the Iranian Revolution.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic History
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn the four months following the trough of the Great Depression in March 1933\, industrial production rose 57 percent. We argue that an important channel aiding recovery came through the direct effect of devaluation on farm prices\, incomes\, and consumption. We call this the farm channel. Using U.S. and British crop price data\, we document that devaluation raised prices of traded crops and their close substitutes (other grains). And using state and county auto sales and income data\, we document that recovery proceeded much more rapidly in farm areas. Our baseline estimates imply that a one standard deviation increase in the share of a state’s population living on farms is associated with a 20–34 percentage point increase in auto sales growth from winter to fall 1933. This effect is concentrated in states producing traded crops (cotton\, tobacco\, wheat) or close substitutes\, suggesting an important role for devaluation. In annual county data we show that the farm channel is strongest in counties with more indebted farmers. To map these cross-sectional estimates into an aggregate effect\, we build an incomplete-markets model that explicitly incorporates both the benefits of the farm channel to farmers (higher farm income) as well as the costs to nonfarmers (higher prices paid for farm goods). The model suggests that by redistributing income to indebted farmers with a high marginal propensity to consume\, the farm channel may explain 25-50% of the spring 1933 recovery.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Geometry/Topology
DESCRIPTION:The measure theoretic entropy of an iterated map on a probability space measures the average amount of information obtained in one iteration. Inspired by this\, one can define the topological entropy of a map on a compact metric space\, which describes the exponential growth rate of the number of distinguishable orbit segments. The Variational Principle describes how these notions of entropy are related. I will introduce entropy in both contexts and discuss the proof of the Variational Principle.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Visualizing Defects and Nanoscale Inhomogeneity in Topological Insulators
DESCRIPTION:Topological insulator (TI) is a new quantum state of matter where the insulating bulk is enclosed by Dirac surface states protected by the topology of the bulk band structure[1-3]. This quantum state may host various exotic phenomena such as quantum anomalous Hall effect\, Majoranan fermions\, and giant spin-hall effect\, often realized by chemical doping of TIs. In most TI’s\, however\, significant bulk conduction due to native atomic defects overwhelms that of surface states\, which hampers potential applications of topological surface states. Despite many years’ studies\, the nature of native defects in many TIs is still illusive. In this talk\, I will present our recent studies of native defects in Bi2Se3 by combining high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and first principle calculation [4]. We identified the major native defects\, in particular the Se vacancies and Se interstitial defects that are responsible for the bulk conduction and nanoscale potential fluctuations in single crystals of archetypal topological insulator Bi2Se3. Identification and control of defects in topological insulators are crucial steps toward experimental explorations of topological quantum phenomena. Preliminary results of topological phase transition induced by In doping will also be presented. \n\n[1]	X.-L. Qi and S.-C. Zhang\, Reviews of Modern Physics 83\, 1057 (2011).\n[2]	M. Z. Hasan and J.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Islamophobia: Politics\, Priorities and Prejudice in 2016
DESCRIPTION:80% of congressional seats\, numerous local positions\, along with one supreme court seat are up for election this November. American Muslims have been at the center of political rhetoricand discourse from both parties. The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) will offer data driven recommendations on how everyone\, even those from marginalized communities\, can be engaged in the political process\, locally and nationally. This session will provide empirical evidence on the opinions and policy priorities that can be used to respond to stereotypes of the American Muslim community\; deconstruct the Islamophobia industry and understand how it’s used as a legislative tactic\; and preview ISPU's interactive Legislative Map.\n\nSarrah Buageila is the Project Manager for ISPU’s Research Department. Sarrah spent eleven years at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan where she has worked as an Interviewer\, Research Assistant\, and Project Manager within the Project Design and Management Group. She primarily worked on the National Survey of Family Growth\, a study of the National Center for Health Statistics. Sarrah has co-authored papers for the International Field Directors and Technologies Conference and the American Association for Public Opinion Research Conference. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and has completed Graduate work towards a Masters of Liberal Arts in American Studies.\nSaeed A. Khan is currently in the Department of History and Lecturer in the Department of Near East & Asian Studies at Wayne State University-Detroit\, Michigan\, where he teaches Islamic and Middle East History\, Islamic Civilizations and History of Islamic Political Thought. Mr. Khan is also a Research Fellow at Wayne State University’s Center for the Study of Citizenship. He is also Adjunct Professor in Islamic Studies at the University of Detroit-Mercy and at Rochester College\, co-teaching a course on Muslim-Christian Diversity. With areas of focus including US policy\, globalization\, Middle East and Islamic Studies\, as well as genomics and bioethics\, Mr. Khan has been a contributor to several media agencies\, such as C-Span\, NPR\, Voice of America and the National Press Club.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION: The integral cohomology groups of a complex algebraic variety are one of the most fundamental invariants associated to the variety. The ranks of these groups are well understood in terms of the equations defining the variety\, thanks to Hodge theory. However\, the torsion tends to be much more \"transcendental\" in nature and not easily accessible via algebraic techniques. Torsion cohomology classes have recently played a pivotal role in fundamental advances in many subjects such as number theory\, algebraic geometry\, and representation theory\, so it is important to better understand torsion from an algebraic perspective.\n\nIn my talk\, I'll explain how to bound the torsion explicitly in terms of the equations defining the variety. The bound is a consequence of the construction of a new cohomology theory in p-adic Hodge theory\, and the bulk of my talk will be dedicated to explaining why the coefficient ring of this cohomology theory (i.e.\, its value on a point) makes meaningful mathematical sense of a small piece of the non-existent object \"Z tensor Z over F_1\".\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Matthew Morrow and Peter Scholze. Speaker(s): Bhargav Bhatt (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:This talk will provide an informal introduction to perfectoid spaces. After some preliminary motivation\, we will begin by defining perfectoid fields and algebras\, which then globalize to perfectoid spaces. We will see some examples and\, if time permits\, discuss how perfectoid spaces can be used to prove many cases of the weight-monodromy conjecture in mixed characteristic via reduction to the equicharacteristic case.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Graduate School Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Linguistics PhD student Rachel Elizabeth Weissler is hosting an information session for undergraduates interested in applying to graduate school! Before attending U-M\, Rachel was a part of the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT). IRT is a program that helped her apply to graduate school by covering the cost of applying and providing GRE prep.\n\nWhat is IRT? \nThe IRT addresses the lack of diversity in the nation's teaching faculties by recruiting outstanding students of color and other scholars committed to diversity\, counseling them through the graduate school application process\, and advocating for sufficient funding for advanced study. Since 1990\, the IRT has built a national consortium of colleges and universities that are eager to enroll IRT students to diversify their graduate student bodies and to expand the pipeline of educators to teach\, counsel\, and administrate in American schools\, colleges\, and universities.\n\nFrom early September through mid-November\, all IRT participants receive the following support throughout the graduate school application process at no charge\, which include:\n1. Individualized support and extensive counseling as fellows choose graduate programs and apply to a renowned consortium of graduate schools across the country\n2. Application fee waivers for up to 12 consortium schools\n3. Assistance in fine-tuning statements of purpose\, resumes\, and writing samples\n\nAdditionally\, the IRT sponsors a Summer Workshop\, a paid internship on the Phillips Academy campus\, located just outside of Boston\, MA. Participants engage in a graduate-level curriculum of critical\, cultural\, and educational theory during an intense four-week program\; students and faculty work together nine hours each day\, seven days a week.

DESCRIPTION:Please join Alamanya: Transnational German Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop on Tuesday\, Nov. 1\, at 6pm for a multimedia performance with guest author\, German-Jewish poet Esther Dischereit\, as she performs laments from her 2014 work Flowers for Otello. \n\nNorth Quad\, room 2435\nTuesday\, Nov. 1: 6pm\nQ&A and Reception to follow\n\nFlowers for Otello is dedicated to the families of nine immigrants and one policewoman who were maliciously murdered by the National Socialist Underground (NSU) between the years of 2000 and 2007. Due in part to state investigative authorities’ refusal to seriously consider racism as a motive\, these crimes went unsolved until 2011. Flowers for Otello addresses issues of race\, memory\, and violence in relation to these crimes\; in a series of lamentations it offers a unique multilingual perspective on systematic racism in present-day Germany through a medium that is at once poetic\, musical\, and performative.\n\nSpoken word performance in German and Turkish (English translations provided) by Esther Dischereit and Selim Özdogan.\n\nInterpretive dance by Holly Handman-Lopez\nElectronic music by Tom Lopez\nPercussion by Justin Gunter\n\nWe look forward to seeing you there!\n\nCo-sponsored by:\nAlamanya: Transnational German Studies (Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop)\nMusic & Sound Studies Reading Group (Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop)\nThe School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\nThe Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures

SUMMARY:Other:THE DEAD PIZZA SOCIETY IS ALIIIIIVE!!!
DESCRIPTION:It was a dark and stormy night. Deep in the corner of a small cellar in Doomsville\, Delaware\, the dim light of a lone candle struggled against the overwhelming weight of the darkness\, aided only by the occasional flash of lightning. Working too feverishly to notice his visibility waning\, Dr. Victor Frankenstein hurried to put the finishing touches on his creation. Finally\, it was ready. This climax of his efforts had arrived. Two years of ceaseless labor\, all towards one end: life\, instilled in the inanimate body he had meticulously assembled\, destined to cook gourmet pizza for the doctor’s kick start\, Frankenstein Pizza: A Flavor Worth Resurrecting For.His window was narrow. If the freshly thawed corpse lay exposed for even an hour longer\, the ensuing decay would eliminate any chance for the prospective chef to ever breathe the cellar air\, dank with the thriving colonies of mildew climbing the walls. But Frankenstein was only one switch away from completing a circuit that would send 10\,000 volts of electricity through his specimen\, jumpstarting the heart\, introducing a brand new consciousness into the world. The moment of truth. Frankenstein flipped the switch.Nothing. It was at this moment that Frankenstein was suddenly made aware of the fact that he had been living without electricity for the last six months\, having long ago ceased to pay his bills. Hence the candlelight\, he thought. Now stripped of his chef\, his life savings\, the last two years of hard labor\, and his childhood dream of owning a pizza joint\, the doctor decided to quietly spend the rest of his days in his parents’ basement reflecting on deep mysteries like the meaning of beauty and eating the pizza of those more successful than himself.Join us for FREE PIZZA at 6pm\, Tuesday\, November 1st in one of the Angell Hall Auditoriums as we take after the spirit of Dr. Victor Frankenstein\, discussing the meaning of beauty and the extent to which it is okay to discriminate based on beauty. Frightfully yours\,Robert KoehnTreasurer of the Dead Pizza Society

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:War and the 2016 Election: The Great Unmentionable
DESCRIPTION:The most important issue facing the population of the \nUnited States and the entire world is not being discussed in the US elections: War.\n\nThe contest between Clinton and Trump has brought the degraded state of US politics to new lows. As the two candidates trade in insults and scandal-mongering\, government and military officials are preparing a vast military escalation that threatens the lives of millions\, if not billions of people. \n\nRegardless of who is elected in November\, the working class and youth in the US and around the world face immense dangers. The greatest danger is the gulf that exists between the\nadvanced state of war plans by the US military and the general level of popular consciousness.\n\nEverything must be done to alert workers and young people to what is being planned and to build a political leadership to oppose war and the capitalist system that produces it.\n\nSEP Presidential candidate Jerry White will speak at this meeting\, hosted by the IYSSE at UM. He will speak about the threat of world war\, why it is not seriously discussed in the elections\, and about the urgent need to build a mass anti-war movement in the US. His party is holding a major anti-war conference in Detroit on November 5\, which will also be addressed at this meeting.

And on top of that\, he's a tall tale teller of the first order\, with a dry sense of humor that would be reason enough in itself to come to one of his concerts. Says Newsday: \"Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp\, in whose league he belongs\, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder\, whom he also occasionally resembles\, Adrian Legg is an adventurer\, not an archivist.\" He is\, quite simply\, one of the greatest guitarists in the world\, and perhaps the very least heralded among that group.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Projective Geometry of Scattering Amplitudes
DESCRIPTION:I will introduce a technique in studying the analytic structure of perturbative S-matrix of QFTs. The main idea is to associate Feynman integrals to objects in a projective space: polytopes and hypersurfaces. At one loop\, this reveals a universal structure for all possible Feynman integrals (in particular\, including one-loop amplitudes in any QFTs)\, and gives rise to two simple algebraic algorithms to determine the integrals (as functions of the kinematics). I will also comment on the generalization to higher loop levels.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Pre-Peace Corps Abroad Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Be part of a UM tradition that goes back to the very beginning of the Peace Corps. On October 14\, 1960 on the steps of the Michigan Union\, then Senator John F. Kennedy gave an unprepared campaign speech challenging Michigan students to devote a few years of their life working in developing countries around the world. Within weeks\, 1\,000 UM students had signed a petition calling for the establishment of the Peace Corps program. Less than a year later\, the federal Peace Corps agency was formed. Today\, it continues its original mission:\n\n• Helping the people of interested countries in meeting their needs for trained men and women.\n• Helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.\n• Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of all Americans.\n\nPut your UM education and experience to work in the areas of youth and community development\, education\, health\, environment\, business and information technology\, and agriculture with a CGIS program abroad and then with Peace Corps.\n\nAt the info session on Wednesday\, November 2\, hear from UM's own Peace Corps recruiter about her experiences in Morocco and learn more about these Peace Corps gateway programs:\n• International Development and French Language in Senegal\n• GCC Brazil—Teaching ESL in Brazil\n• Development and Globalization in Khon Kaen\, Thailand\n• GIEU (Global Intercultural Experience for Undergraduates) service-learning programs

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Saving Science from Itself: How to Respond  to the Changing Value and Politics of Information
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, science is a set of methods and procedures for evaluating logic and evidence. When performed in accordance with widely recognized best practices\, scientific research produces findings with a distinctive and often valuable quality – the findings should be true regardless of who conducted the research. For this reason\, science is a powerful engine for creating a special kind of knowledge – special because the validity of the knowledge does not depend on a person’s age\, sex\, race\, religion\, or income.\n\nInquiry conducted through scientific methods allows individuals and organizations to evaluate the plausibility of competing propositions. By so doing\, science can help us achieve important goals more effectively and efficiently by clarifying cause-and-effect. It can help us more effectively navigate dangerous environments and help us other environments less dangerous. It can show us when something we want to believe\, or have believed in the past\, is inconsistent with measurable components of our physical reality. In many cases\, science is our last\, best defense against wishful thinking.\n\nSocial science as a type of inquiry has changed how millions of people live. Its findings make factories\, offices\, and farms more efficient. Social science aids in the development\, implementation\, and evaluation of a wide range of business\, campaign\, diplomatic and military strategies. Social science has transformed how social and health-related services are delivered around the world. Today\, more social scientists are using more advanced methods and instruments to study more topics than ever before – and more individuals and public and private sector entities are using social science’s information and insights to improve quality of life for many diverse populations.\nGiven recent trends\, and the current status of social science\, one would think that its future as a practice of inquiry and as a generator of significant social value is very bright. However\, dark clouds loom. In the last twenty years\, changes in technology and society have affected the kinds of information that people value. Some of these forces have altered the kinds of content for which individuals and organizations in the private and public sectors are willing to pay. Other forces have led people to raise new questions the veracity of scientific claims. These forces are altering relationships between social science and society.\n\nThese changes have the potential to destabilize many existing scientific institutions and practices. In the United States\, for example\, prominent members of Congress have questioned whether the National Science Foundation should fund certain types of social scientific research – with a few proposing that the NSF substantially cut or eliminate funding to its social\, behavioral\, and economic science division. Others ask why the government should support a high-priced bundle of basic and applied social science research when there are increasing numbers of alternative sources of seemingly comparable information – that is\, people and organizations who\, through interest-group websites\, blogs\, various social media venues\, and the comments attached to the bottom of social science-related newspaper articles\, claim to have valid and useful knowledge about the topics that social scientists study. \n\nIf scientists and scientific organizations do not react to these changes in effective ways\, they will limit the ways in which social science can improve quality of life for present and future generations. I argue that these negative consequences are serious -- but they are not inevitable. This presentation lays out our challenges and then describes a plan for how to respond.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Social Area Brown Bag
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Effect of Vietnam-Era Conscription and Genetic Potential for Educational Attainment on Schooling Outcomes\n\nAuthors: Lauren L. Schmitz and Dalton Conley\n\nAbstract: This study examines whether draft-lottery estimates of the causal effects of Vietnam-era military service on schooling vary by genetic propensity toward educational attainment. To capture the complex genetic architecture that underlies the bio-developmental pathways\, behavioral traits and evoked environments associated with educational attainment\, we construct a polygenic score (PGS) for the Vietnam-era cohort in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) that aggregates thousands of individual loci across the human genome\, weighted by effect sizes derived from a recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) for years of education.  Our findings suggest veterans with below average PGSs for educational attainment completed fewer years of schooling than comparable non-veterans with the same PGS.  On the other hand\, we do not find any difference in the educational attainment of veterans and non-veterans with above average PGSs. Results show that public policies may induce heterogeneous treatment effects by genetic disposition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe present a natural field experiment designed to measure other–regarding preferences in the market for taxis. We employed testers of varying ethnicity to take a number of predetermined taxi journeys. In each case we endowed them with only 80% of the expected fare. Testers revealed the amount they could afford to pay to the driver mid-journey and asked for a portion of the journey for free. In a 2×2 between–subjects design we vary the length of the journey and the salience of a potential repeated interaction. We find that the majority of drivers give at least part of the journey for free and over 25% complete the journey. Giving is found to be proportional to the length of the journey\, and the drivers’ reputational concerns do not explain their behaviour. Evidence of strong out–group negativity against black testers by both white and South–Asian drivers is also reported. In order to link our empirical analysis to behavioural theory we estimate the parameters of a number of utility functions. The data and the structural analysis lend support to the quantitative predictions of experiments that measure other–regarding preferences\, and shed further light on how discrimination can manifest itself within our preferences.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Arithmetic
DESCRIPTION:Informally\, q-series can be considered as a summand containing (a\,q)_n = (1-a)(1-aq)...(1-aq^{n-1}). Specifically\, theta function is considered to be q-series and plays an important role in the theory of q-series. In this talk\, I will introduce the history of the theory of q-series and prove some important identities involving theta functions. Finally\, we will see how the approach from q-series are interacting with the mock theta functions. Speaker(s): Yiwang Chen (UM)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Restoration of Early Sound Recordings using Optical Metrology and Image Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Unlike print and latent image scanning\, the playback of mechanical sound carriers has been an inherently invasive process. Some of the earliest sound recordings contain material of great historical interest\, may be in obsolete formats\, and are damaged\, decaying\, or are now considered too delicate to play. We will discuss the use of optical metrology and numerical methods to acquire and analyze high resolution digital images of the original media. The results will be illustrated with sounds and images. \n\nBio: Carl Haber is an experimental physicist. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia University and is a Senior Scientist in the Physics Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at the University of California. His career has focused on the development of instrumentation and methods for detecting and measuring particles created at high energy colliders\, including Fermilab in the United States and at CERN near Geneva\, Switzerland. Since 2002 he\, and his colleagues\, have also been involved in aspects of preservation science\, applying methods of precision optical metrology and data analysis to early recorded sound restoration. He is a 2013 MacArthur Fellow and a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:We analyze the optimal investment strategy in a Black-Scholes financial market to minimize the so-called probability of drawdown\, namely\, the probability that the value of an investment portfolio reaches some fixed proportion of its maximum value to date. We assume that the portfolio is subject to a payout that is a deterministic function of its value\, as might be the case for an endowment fund.\n\nFor the infinite investment horizon\, we find that the optimal strategy coincides with the investment strategy that minimizes the probability of ruin\, c.f. Young [North American Actuarial Journal\, 8(4)\, 106-126\, 2004] and Bauerle and Bayraktar [Stochastics\, 86:2\, 330-340\, 2014]. However\, this relationship does not necessarily hold if the investment horizon is not infinite. We show this by determining the optimal strategy for the lifetime problem (i.e. when the investment horizon is an exponential random variable) and assuming a constant rate of consumption.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Health and Development Work Abroad: Ethics and Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:Growing numbers of Americans work in developing countries as volunteers or as employees of government agencies\, NGOs and charities devoted to humanitarian aid. Many of these activities are meant to address gaps in the health care available to communities with limited resources\; some provide direct patient care\, while others address more systemic issues suchas access to vaccines and/or training to increase the number of local health care professionals. While most of these efforts are well-intentioned andmany provide much-needed assistance\, some have been shown not only to be ineffective but also to have unanticipated negative consequences. This panel will address both the practical and the ethical dimensions of foreign involvement in health care delivery and development in low-resource communities.\n\n* Part of the International Career Pathways Sessions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Copernicus Lecture. Sexual Minorities and Civil Rights in Poland
DESCRIPTION:Robert Biedroń will explore the recent history of LGBT rights in Poland. Following the fall of communism\, new opportunities arose\, and the official registration of organizations and media presence helped start a dialogue in Polish society\, followed by a period of progress. Recently there has been a backlash and legislative ban on almost all LGBT-related issues. Biedroń will draw on his years of experience as a legislator and activist to provide an overview of this history and discuss the current political climate.\n\nRobert Biedroń\, mayor of Słupsk\, Poland\, is an LGBT activist and a member of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe. He holds a Ph.D. in political science and a diploma from the School for Young Social and Political Leaders in Warsaw. Having served as a consultant to numerous human rights organizations both in Poland and abroad\, Biedroń is the co-founder and a long-standing president of the Warsaw-based Campaign Against Homophobia which protects the constitutionally guaranteed rights of sexual minorities in Poland. From 2011-14\, he was an elected member of the Polish Parliament\, serving as vice-chair of the Justice and Human Rights Committee and a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee. The first openly gay parliamentarian and mayor in Poland\, Biedroń participates in the Advisory Group on Gender\, Forced Displacement and Protection launched by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.\n\nPart of the Minorities series which will focus on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities. How do different political regimes come to define groups as minorities\, and how do they engage with them as a result? What can the experience of minorities in the other parts of the world teach us?

SUMMARY:Film Screening:A Time to Choose
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced – and it is also our greatest opportunity. We have the solutions we need\, but we are in a race against the clock to implement them in time. Oscar-winning documentary director Charles Ferguson captures the urgency and innovation of this critical moment in his new film\, TIME TO CHOOSE which takes audiences on a journey from the threats we face to the remarkable stories of people changing our world for the better.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MSAIL #4: Stochastic Sorting
DESCRIPTION:Our next MSAIL discussion will focus on Stochastic Sorting\, the art of sorting given a noisy comparator. We'll meet at:    3427 EECS\, Wednesday\, 2016-11-02\, 18:00-19:00.So that we can buy an appropriate amount of snacks\, please rsvp on Facebook. And bring all potentially interested friends!  Sneakpeek of IdeasWe're familiar with MergeSort\, HeapSort\, QuickSort\, and their ilk: they are comparison sorts that attain the provably best worstcase asymptotic complexity of O(n logn) comparisons.\n\nBut... what if we can't fully trust our comparator? What if there's noise? An algorithm robust to noisy comparators must solve that fundamental difficulty of Machine Learning: to synthesize uncertain observations into a more certain whole. The study of such algorithms\, then\, is part of Machine Learning\, and in its connections to optimization\, it relates not only to ML but also economics and even evolution. Check out the following for more details!Active Learning (Guillory et al 2009)Active Learning for Stochastic Sorting (Ailon 2012)\nSorting for Genetic Algorithms (Brownlee 2010) --MSAIL

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Continuous Career Re-Invention: The Art of Mindful Pivoting
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Dean's Leading by Example Lecture Series presenting Dr. Kevin Kwok on “Continuous Career Re-Invention: The Art of Mindful Pivoting.” \n\nSpeaker Bio: D. Kevin Kwok\, PharmD\n\nKevin is pleased to participate in the Dean’s Leadership lecture series.  As a PharmD graduate from the U-M College of Pharmacy (’86) and a Member of the Dean’s Advisory Committee\, Kevin has thirty years of experience as a biopharma executive and consultant.\n\nHe is also a person living (and thriving) with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease.  In 2013\, Kevin elected to be treated at Stanford Medical Center with Deep Brain Stimulation\, to manage his movement disorder.  Today\, thanks to this medical intervention\, Kevin is essentially disease free.  He is an active patient advocate\, espousing his new life as a “bionic-American” through a combination of medical technology and lifestyle to optimize everyday living with neurodegenerative ailments.\n\nKevin has been nationally featured on panels\, television\, and webcasts. He recently provided patient insights at an FDA Patient panel on issues facing People with Parkinson’s. He is an active research subject at the Stanford Movement Disorder Clinic\, and his data were presented last year to the US Congress as part of the President’s brain mapping initiative.      \n\nA previous partner at Russell Reynolds Associates\, a leading executive search firm as the North American Head of Life Sciences\, three years ago Kevin joined his client\, Theravance Biopharma to lead Talent Acquisition and Strategy at this evolving Bay Area biopharmaceutical company.  \n\nLast month\, Kevin recently transitioned to a new role at Theravance\, as Head of Patient Engagement\, a newly created role\, where he will lead the Company’s initiatives to foster patient centricity at the C-suite.\n\nHe is a board member of the Davis Phinney Foundation and a research ambassador for both the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation and the Michael J Fox Foundation\, where he is a patient advisor for their biomarker initiative. \n\nKevin strongly feels his PharmD education has paved the way for his non-traditional career. He will discuss this educational foundation and the ability to “pivot” as his secret to career diversity.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Traditionalizing Preservation: Protection of Intangible Cultural Properties in Japan
DESCRIPTION:In 1955\, the Committee for the Protection of Cultural Properties designated holders of Important Intangible Cultural Properties\, so-called Living National Treasures\, for the first time. Since then\, 350 persons have been selected as its holders. As of July 17\, 2015\, there are 115 holders of 79 items of Important Intangible Cultural Properties. Holders are recognized to have mastered waza (skill)\, which has high historical or artistic value. Holders are divided into two categories: Performing Arts and Craft Techniques. How has the designation of Holders of Important Intangible Cultural Property been effective or ineffective in preserving waza? Although as many as twenty-four actors of kabuki theater has been designated as holders\, their skill has rarely been passed on to the next generation. Professor Okada will explore the Japanese system of protecting waza in the performing arts. \n    \nMariko Okada is Associate Professor at Faculty of Humanities\, J. F. Oberlin University\, Tokyo\, Japan. Dr. Okada received her Ph.D. from Waseda University in Tokyo in 2011. Her book The Birth of Kyōmai: Inoue-ryu Dance in Nineteenth-Century Kyoto\, Japan was released in 2013 and received several awards. Her current research interest is fan culture of Kabuki and diversities of Kabuki culture. Dr. Okada is the co-curator for Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

SUMMARY:Presentation:GFP Brown Bag
DESCRIPTION:Mapping Partnered Sexualities and Individual Gender/sex with Sexual Configurations Theory\n\n\nSexual configurations theory (SCT\; van Anders\, 2015) provides theoretical and methodological tools for describing\, understanding\, and studying diverse aspects of partnered sexualities\, separate from solitary sexuality\, for potential use by sexuality researchers\, clinicians\, and activists\, among others. SCT is modeled via diagrams\, and our project examined the utility of these for qualitative sexuality research. To do so\, we conducted interviews with 25 gender and sexual minority participants. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts yielded two categories of themes: (1) insights about partnered sexuality and gender/sex\, and (2) practical utility of SCT. Themes in the first category (insights) suggested that SCT provides useful conceptual distinctions (i.e.\, gender\, sex\, and gender/sex\; eroticism and nurturance\; status and orientation) that allowed participants to articulate nuance in their interests\, experiences\, and identities relevant to partnered sexuality\, gender/sex\, and intersectional factors. Themes in the second category (utility) delineated how participants marked the diagrams in unique\, creative ways to index diverse conceptualizations of and experiences with their partnered sexualities and gender/sexes. Participants also regularly described the interview process as useful for articulating partnered sexuality and gender/sex above and beyond common survey measures or identity labels\, and as difficult albeit highly generative for self-knowledge.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar
DESCRIPTION:This will be the last part of proving Kadison-Singer Problem.\n\nWe will continue our proof of Marcus-Spielman-Srivastava theorem. Last time we reduced Marcus-Spielman-Srivastava theorem to an upper bound of maximum root for a real stable polynomial. In this talk\, we will continue our discussion on convexity properties of real stable polynomials. From these convexity property\,  the distribution of maximum root is more or less preserved under some linear operator. Thus\, one can derive Marcus-Spielman-Srivastava theorem using induction. Discussion of these real stable polynomial properties is independent of earlier talks and can be interesting by itself.\n\nThis talk is based on proof for Kadison-Singer Problem by Marcus\, Spielman\, Srivastava and notes of Terry Tao.\n Speaker(s): Feng Wei (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Agents of Change:
DESCRIPTION:Film Synopsis\nFrom the well-publicized events at San Francisco State in 1968 to the image of black students with guns emerging from the takeover of the student union at Cornell University in April\, 1969\, the struggle for a more relevant and meaningful education\, including demands for black and ethnic studies programs\, became a clarion call across the country in the late 1960's. Through the stories of these young men and women who were at the forefront of these efforts\, Agents of Change examines the untold story of the racial conditions on college campuses and in the country that led to these protests. The film’s characters were caught at the crossroads of the civil rights\, black power\, and anti-Vietnam war movements at a pivotal time in America’s history. Today\, over 45 years later\, many of the same demands are surfacing in campus protests across the country\, revealing how much work remains to be done.\n \nPanel Discussion\nThe panel discussion following the film will include students\, a faculty moderator\, and the Co-Producers and Co-Directors of Agents of Change: Frank R. Dawson and Abby Ginzberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations
DESCRIPTION:Symplectic integrators preserve the phase-space volume and have favorable performances in long time simulations. Methods for an explicit symplectic integration have been extensively studied for separable Hamiltonians (i.e.\, H(q\,p)=K(p)+V(q))\, and they correspond to both accuracy and efficiency. However\, nonseparable Hamiltonians also model important problems\, such as non-Newtonian mechanics and nearly integrable systems in action-angle coordinates. Unfortunately\, implicit methods had been the only available symplectic approach for general nonseparable systems.\n This talk will describe a recent result that constructs explicit and arbitrary high-order symplectic integrators for arbitrary Hamiltonians. These integrators are based on a mechanical restraint that binds two copies of phase space together. Using backward error analysis\, KAM theory\, and some additional multiscale analysis\, a pleasant error bound is established for integrable systems\, and demonstrated on a conceptual example and the Schwarzschild geodesics problem. For nonintegrable systems\, some numerical experiments with the nonlinear Schr\\"odinger equation will be discussed.\n If time permits\, I will also talk about the specific problem of charged particle dynamics in general electromagnetic fields.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe use administrative data from 48 large garment factories in Bangladesh to examine pay differentials between women and men. We focus on sewing machine operators for most of our analysis. Wages are highly regulated\, with the government specifying\, and our firms complying with\, minimum wage rates for each operator grade level. Even in a context where the average wage of operators is only a few percentage points above minimum wage\, we find that men are paid 3.4 percent more than women. Most of the gap is explained by the fact that men are more likely to be in higher operator grades. We have exceptionally detailed skills data from a subset of the factories. We show that the wage- and grade-gaps are not explained by differences in skill levels. Rather\, men have higher grades even conditioning on skills. Next\, we show that the higher grades are not he result of factories promoting males more often than females (they do\, but the magnitude of the difference is tiny). Rather\, most “promotions” appear to happen when workers leave one factory and enter another factory at a higher grade. Males are more mobile than females\, with average firm tenure rates across their careers that are 7 months\, or 25 percent\, shorter. We explore two reasons why men may be more mobile: women face higher costs of changing factories because they are juggling household responsibilities as well as work\, and men have stronger incentives to be promoted because they ultimately want to be promoted into management\, a path that is all but foreclosed to women. We find somewhat more evidence for the latter channel.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Latina/o Studies Forum Series: Latinas/os and the 2016 Elections
DESCRIPTION:The forums in winter 2017 will be part of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial events. Under the general theme of “The University\, the Nation\, and the Future of Latina/o Studies\,” these engagements will explore the themes of Immigration and Afro-Latinidad. The “Migration” forum will address the impact the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration policy has had at the University of Michigan and at the national level. The “Afro-Latinidades” forum will focus on Afro-Latino and African-American relationships during particular historical periods and especially the relationship between these two groups institutionally at the University of Michigan. More information about the winter 2017 forums will be provided later in the semester.\n\n“Latinas/os and the 2016 Election\,” is Thursday\, November 3\, 2016\, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at North Quad 2435. Just five days before the 2016 presidential election\, this forum will address the political mobilization of Latinas/os in response to Donald Trump’s campaign\, the community’s engagement with policy debates regarding immigration\, and the response of a diverse Latina/o community (in terms of ethnicity\, age\, and gender) to the Republican and Democratic candidates and platforms. The participants are Dr. John García\, Research Professor Emeritus\, Institute for Social Research\, ICPSR and Center for Political Studies\; Dr. Mara Cecilia Ostfeld\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science\; and Vanessa Cruz Nichols\, doctoral candidate in the Department of Political Science. Dr. Silvia Pedraza\, Professor\, Departments of American Culture and Sociology\, will moderate.\n\nThe Latina/o Studies Program at the University of Michigan’s Department of American Culture is organizing a forum series for the 2016-2017 academic year. These forums will create a space for dialogues among faculty\, students\, staff\, and the Ann Arbor community on a range of issues pertinent to the local and national Latina/o community. The forums will include the participation of University of Michigan faculty members\, graduate and undergraduate students\, and invited speakers from other institutions and organizations.\n\nParticipants:\n\nDr. John A.

DESCRIPTION:This is talk 4 out of 4. Last time we introduced a set-theoretic principle S(kappa\,theta)\, which implies a particular anti-Ramsey theoretic result on all groups of cardinality kappa. In this talk we will prove that S(omega_1\,omega_1) holds\, and also that S(kappa\,omega) holds for kappa equal to the cofinality of the continuum (this last result has a nice implication for the additive group of real numbers).

SUMMARY:Other:Photo-induced Force Microscopy: Nanoscale Imaging With Chemical Recognition
DESCRIPTION:Photo-induced Force Microscopy (PiFM) enables spectroscopic probing of materials with nanoscale spatial resolution (< 10 nm).  Advances in nanotechnology have intensified the need for tools that can characterize newly synthesized nano-materials.  Combining scanned-probe techniques with optical illumination provides nanoscopic spatial resolution through the sharp tip (~10 nm) with the chemical recognition provided by optical spectroscopy.  PiFM is a new and powerful technique which enables spectroscopic probing of nano-materials with a spatial resolution under 10 nm and broadband spectral sensitivity (optical through IR). In PiFM\, the response of the optically excited sample is probed directly in the near-field by reading out the time-integrated force between the tip and the sample. Because the magnitude of the force is dependent on the photo-induced polarizability of the sample\, PiFM exhibits spectroscopic sensitivity. With very high spatial resolution even under ambient conditions\, PiFM enables the real-space imaging along with chemical  recognition of a wide range of nano-materials\, from semiconducting nanoparticles to polymer thin films to sensitive measurements of single molecules. The principles and the basic components of the PiFM will be presented with examples that highlight the nanoscale imaging and spectroscopic sensitivity inherent to the technique.  Recent samples investigated with PiFM will be presented\, including: polymer blends\, nano-fibers\, polypeptides\, block copolymers\, and 2D materials.  \nRyan Murdick (Molecular Vista)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology
DESCRIPTION:Given a Lagrangian sphere S in a symplectic manifold M of any dimension\, one can associate to it a symplectomorphism of M\, the Dehn twist about S. This generalises the classical two-dimensional notion. These higher-dimensional Dehn twists naturally give elements of the symplectic mapping class group of M\, i.e. $\pi_0 (Symp (M))$. The goal of the talk is to present parallels between properties of Dehn twists in dimension 2 and in higher dimensions\, with an emphasis on relations in the mapping class group.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Reproduction of Species: Humans\, Animals\, and Hybrids in Ancient Rabbinic Thought
DESCRIPTION:The Hebrew Bible's notion of humanity \"created in the image of God\" (Genesis 1:27) has loomed large in discussions of Christian and Jewish conceptions of humanness. The contemporary entailments of such discussions range across the domains of law\, ethics\, and politics. This talk provides an alternate angle onto the makings of humanness found in classical Jewish sources. It argues that the rabbis of late antiquity understood the limits and makings of the human within larger considerations about reproduction\, the classification of species\, and the problem of species hybridity. The talk shows how\, at the intersection of menstrual and purity law\, agricultural law\, and temple-related rules\, the early rabbis effectively mapped a \"biology\" that sought to determine the boundaries and the overlaps between species.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIA Lecture: The Symposium in Context: Pottery from a Late Archaic Athenian House
DESCRIPTION:The symposium was a small\, all-male drinking party held in a private home\, and it was most popular from the Archaic to the Hellenistic period with some significant changes in form and meaning along the way.\n \nThe symposium focused on the shared consumption of wine. Men gathered in a small room\, reclined on their left elbows\, and participated equally in both the drinking and activities. All men were expected to speak on topics of philosophy and politics in turn or contribute to songs and stories. The wine loosened inhibitions and made it easier for the drinkers to form bonds.\n \nSympotic drinking required specialized ceramic equipment\, designed only for use in the symposium. This paper will discuss the sympotic set from an Athenian house near the Classical Agora. It is the first well-preserved sympotic set from an individual house\, so it provides the first evidence for the importance of the symposium in a real Athenian house. In fact\, the sympotic pottery accounted for nearly 50% of this house’s crockery. The iconography on the sympotic pottery tells us something about the homeowner who chose the pots: he had a sense of humor\, and he had an interest in cattle.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.\nArchaeological Institute of America Peter H.

DESCRIPTION:The Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies presents an evening conversation with Sarah Brooks\, a graduate of the dual-degree MA/MPP program in Chinese Studies and Public Policy. After completing her programs at U-M\, Sarah went on to work for the State Department\, and is now based in Geneva working for the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR). Sarah will discuss her career thus far and share stories and advice that she has learned since her time at U-M. Dinner will be served. \n\nSarah leads the work of ISHR to support human rights defenders and seek accountability for human rights violations in Asia\, particularly in states with restrictive operating environments. She also contributes to ISHR's strategic engagement with businesses in the context of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights\, and to ISHR's various advocacy efforts in the UN human rights system. Sarah previously worked for the US State Department's Bureau for Democracy\, Human Rights and Labor\, where she focused on labor rights and supply chains in Asia. Sarah graduated with degrees in East Asian Studies and French from Vanderbilt University (2007) and received a Fulbright grant to study and conduct field research in China (2007-2008). Afterwards she worked for the International Labour Organization in Bangkok. At the University of Michigan\, she successfully pursued a dual Master's degree in Chinese Studies and Public Policy and a certificate in Women's Studies (2011). She has traveled widely\, and enjoys cooking and practicing yoga.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Julia Sonnevend's Book Launch: Stories Without Borders: The Berlin Wall and the Making of a Global Iconic Event
DESCRIPTION:What comes to be known and seen as a global iconic event? Focusing on news coverage of the fall of the Berlin Wall and on contemporary retellings of the event\, Julia Sonnevend discusses how storytellers build up certain events so that people remember them for a long time. The East German border opening that we know as the \"fall of the Berlin Wall\" was in fact unintentional\, confusing\, and prompted in part by misleading media coverage of bureaucratic missteps. But its global message is not about luck or accident or happenstance in history. Incarnated as a global iconic event\, the fall of the Berlin Wall has come to communicate the momentary power that ordinary people can have. The event's story\, branded as a simple phrase\, a short narrative and a recognizable visual scene\, provides people from China to Israel to the United States with a powerful social myth. This myth shapes our debates about separation walls and fences\, borders\, and refugees\, and the possibilities of human freedom to this day.\n\nDetails of the book event on the website of Literati Bookstore (including address): http://www.literatibookstore.com/event/julia-sonnevend-william-uricchio

SUMMARY:Film Screening:The Florence Flood on Film: Days of Deconstruction and Restoration
DESCRIPTION:The Florence Flood happened 50 years ago on November 3 and 4\, 1966. Although\ncommunication to the outside world was limited\, Florentine film director Franco Zeffirelli\, who was editing his Taming of the Shrew in Rome\, heard about it and rushed to his beloved city to film the days immediately after the flood. His documentary is titled Per Firenze (For Florence)\, and the English version is Florence: Days of Destruction\; both are narrated by Richard Burton. The English version will be shown at this event. A year after the flood\, Roger Hill\, instructor of film-making at the Royal College of Art\, London\, documented the conservation and restoration efforts at the National Library\, Florence\, where over a million books were damaged during the flood. Shown in this film are scenes of the conservation of mud-covered\, battered books as well as demonstrations of a limpvellum and a full-leather binding\, the techniques and materials used to recover thousands of books missing their bindings. Hill's film is titled: The Restoration of Books\, Florence\,1968.This program is part of the national symposium\, “The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective” that explores the transformative effects of this disaster on the preservation field. The symposium is organized by the University of Michigan Library and the School of Information.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery. Refreshments will be served.

Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The ABCs of Research
DESCRIPTION:Ben Shneiderman is a pioneer in the field of human-computer interaction and in the early 1980s\, developed the principles of direct manipulation interface that led to hyperlinks\, touchscreen interfaces and information visualization. \n\nTalk summary:\nSolving the immense problems of the 21st century will require devoted research teams with passionate leaders who are skilled at nurturing individuals\, weaving networks\, and cultivating communities. The growing evidence shows that research teams with raised ambitions to find practical solutions and seek foundational theories simultaneously have a greater chance of achieving both (ABC Principle: Applied & Basic Combined).\n\nThis talk will guide students\, faculty\, business leaders\, and government policy makers on how to produce high-impact research. Teamwork becomes an even more valuable approach since it facilitates the blending of research methods (SED Principle: Blend Science\, Engineering and Design Thinking).  It’s time to replace Vannevar Bush’s dated (1945) linear model with new guiding principles to shift the way that governments fund research\, universities train students\, researchers conduct projects (teams\, partnerships)\, and organizations reward/recognize outcomes.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nBen Shneiderman is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Computer Science\, Founding Director (1983-2000) of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory\, and a Member of the UM Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) at the University of Maryland. He is a Fellow of the AAAS\, ACM\, IEEE\, and NAI\, and a Member of the National Academy of Engineering\, in recognition of his pioneering contributions to human-computer interaction and information visualization. His contributions include the direct manipulation concept\, clickable highlighted web-links\, touchscreen keyboards\, dynamic query sliders for Spotfire\, development of treemaps\, novel network visualizations for NodeXL\, and temporal event sequence analysis for electronic health records.\n\nShneiderman is the co-author with Catherine Plaisant of Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction (6th ed.\, 2016). With Stu Card and Jock Mackinlay\, he co-authored Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think (1999). His book Leonardo’s Laptop (MIT Press) won the IEEE book award for Distinguished Literary Contribution. He co-authored Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL with Derek Hansen and Marc Smith. Shneiderman’s latest book is The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough Collaborations (Oxford\, February 2016).\n\nA light lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Malcolm Tulip
DESCRIPTION:Taught by SMTD theatre faculty member Malcolm Tulip. “In this workshop we will examine some of the core exercises in the Lecoq pedagogy and look at how we can use a physical vocabulary and ‘play’ to create character\, image\, or situation. We will find out what it means to be ‘disponible’ (French for ‘ready for anything’). We will also look at the connection between structure and spontaneity.”\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class.\n\nIn the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Future Leaders in Human Rights Lecture: Growing Pains: Why and How the UN Human Rights Mechanisms Need to Evolve over the Next Ten Years
DESCRIPTION:The UN Human Rights Council turns ten this year. In New York on 28 October\, some of the most powerful countries in the world - both human rights allies and aggressors - will be elected to membership. In this context\, how can we hope to advance accountability - in Syria or Cambodia or Guantanamo\, for disappearances of human rights defenders and for violence against LGBT individuals and communities? Without political support for using both carrots and sticks\, how can we hope for intergovernmental processes like the UPR\, or the recommendations of UN experts\, to be implemented on the ground?\n\nFrom the perspective of an advocacy NGO\, there is a real danger in ending the first decade of the Human Rights Council without reflection. Current trends of political inertia and challenges to universality threaten the interdependence of both international human rights in principle\, and the Council and other UN human rights mechanisms in practice. And yet\, at the same time\, progressive governments\, activists and NGOs see great value in the results of the system\; building broad\, public confidence in those tools is essential. We will discuss a few cases\, both far from home and in Ann Arbor's own backyard\; I challenge you to find at least one thing about the UN\, whatever your interest\, that makes fighting for a better system worth it.\n\nFinally\, as an international community\, how do we get there? Thankfully\, there are some straightforward solutions that don't require rewriting history or international law\; just persistence and political will. We'll conclude with some recommendations for reform and sharing what we have done\, or think we can do\, to make the voices of human rights defenders\, communities\, and victims more present and more protected in the UN system.\n    \nSarah Brooks is an advocate and programme manager at the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR)\, based in Geneva. She leads ISHR's work in Asia\, particularly in States with restrictive operating environments\, and contributes to our strategic engagement with business. Sarah previously worked with the US State Department\, where she focused on labor rights and supply chains in Asia. She has conducted field research in China and worked for the ILO in Bangkok. Sarah holds a Bachelor of Arts from Vanderbilt University and a Master of Arts/Master of Public Policy from University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jane Cleo Marshall Lucas Lecture Honoring African-American Women Leaders in the Law
DESCRIPTION:Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals will lecture on the contribution of African-American women to America's understanding of Justice. Judge Blackburne-Rigsby chairs the District of Columbia Courts’ Standing Committee on Fairness and Access\, serves as Co-Chair of the District of Columbia's Access to Justice Commission\, and is a former President the National Association of Women Judges (NAWJ). \n\nJane Cleo Marshall Lucas\, the first female African-American graduate of the Law School\, was born in Benton Harbor\, Michigan in 1920. She received a scholarship to Howard University and was part of the class entering in 1937. She graduated from Howard University in 1941. She received her M.A. in political science from the University of Michigan Rackham School of Graduate Studies in 1942 and in the fall of 1942 began at the University of Michigan Law School. She graduated from the Law School in 1944 and passed the Michigan bar examination. After graduation\, her first job was in the law office of Arthur Davis Shores\, the only Black lawyer in Alabama. Because of the hurdles placed in her way\, she was not able to sit for the Alabama bar examination before she married and moved to Fairmont Height\, Maryland. In 1946\, she became the first African-American woman to pass the Maryland bar and was invited to join the Howard University law faculty becoming the first woman to teach full-time on the law faculty. She resigned from the faculty in 1950 and moved with her husband to Staten Island\, New York. She later worked for the Women's Division of the Labor Department\, the Civil Rights Commission\, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Washington\, D.C. (Description from Rebels in Law: Voices in History of Black Women Lawyers).\n\nThis event is sponsored by The American Constitution Society and is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Kuniko Nielsen will discuss \"Modeling Voice Onset Time in English: Factors and their cross-speaker variability.\"\n\nAbstract:\nVoice Onset Time (VOT) is an important characteristic of stop consonants that plays a large role in perceptual discrimination in many languages\, and is widely used in phonetic research. However\, it has not been modeled in a phonetically comprehensive manner. The current study aims to present an analysis of VOT in English in terms of a model of phonetic knowledge. Previous research has shown that VOT in English voiceless stops is sensitive to factors such as the height\, tenseness\, and duration of the following vowel\, place of articulation\, the voicing of coda consonants\, and speaking rate. We analyzed 120 /p/- and /k/-initial words produced by 123 Canadian English speakers. VOTs of the initial stops were measured semi-automatically and all other segment durations were measured using forced alignment. The results of a mixed- effects regression support earlier findings that VOT is longer in /k/\, directly related to following vowel duration\, inversely related to speech rate\, longer before tense vowels\, and shorter before voiceless codas. Additionally\, we find that VOT is shorter when the following syllable starts with a voiceless obstruent (the effect is greater for plosives than fricatives)\, and that the most relevant measure of vowel duration includes the duration of postvocalic liquids\, even those that are typically analyzed as onsets. The effect of speech rate was shown to vary across speakers\, while the effects of voiceless coda and following voiceless onset were relatively consistent across speakers.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The thresholding scheme\, a time discretization for mean curvature flow\, was introduced by Merriman\, Bence and Osher. In the talk I present new convergence results for modern variants of this scheme\, in particular in the multi-phase case with arbitrary surface tensions. The main result establishes convergence towards a weak formulation of (multi-phase) mean curvature flow in the BV-framework of sets of finite perimeter. The proofs are based on the interpretation of the thresholding scheme as a minimizing movements scheme by Esedoglu and Otto. This interpretation means that thresholding preserves the structure of (multi-phase) mean curvature flow as a gradient flow w. r. t. the total interfacial energy. Our proofs are similar in spirit to the convergence result of Luckhaus and Sturzenhecker\, which establishes convergence of the minimizing movements scheme introduced by Almgren\, Taylor and Wang\, and Luckhaus and Sturzenhecker. Like theirs\, also ours is a conditional convergence result\, which means that we assume the time-integrated energies to converge to those of the limit. This is a natural assumption\, which is however not ensured by the compactness coming from the basic estimates. We show that the methods can incorporate external forces and a volume constraint. Furthermore\, I will present a similar result for the vector-valued Allen-Cahn Equation.  This talk is based on joint works with Felix Otto (MPI MIS Leipzig)\, Thilo Simon (MPI MIS Leipzig) and Drew Swartz (Booz Allen Hamilton) Speaker(s): Tim Laux (Max Planck Institute\, Leipzig)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | Quantum Space\, Strings and the Gravitization of the Quantum
DESCRIPTION:In the study of purely quantum phenomena\, such as occur in double slit experiments\, etc.\, it is useful to introduce modular variables rather than the more familiar positions and momenta. I will first review these variables and then show how they may be understood on a mathematical level as a generalization of geometric quantization. Playing a central role here is the Heisenberg group and its commutative subgroups. Our usual notion of classical space can be identified with a particular choice of commutative subgroup corresponding to a classical Lagrangian subspace of phase space\, that is a choice of classical polarization. There are however purely quantum polarizations that correspond to a choice of modular variables. Such quantizations generically involve a dimensional scale in addition to \hbar. In simple quantum systems\, the scale is set contextually\, for example by a slit spacing.  A new notion of quantum space(time) emerges if we suppose instead that the scale is fundamental. I will provide substantial evidence that\, contrary to the textbook accounts\, this mechanism is present in ordinary string theory. Thus string theory describes an inherently quantum gravitational theory\, for which the usual string constructions correspond to certain semi-classical limits with a local space-time interpretation\, with string dualities manifest.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:We will start by explaining how to associate a Newton polygon to an element in GL(n) over a field of Laurent series.  This collection of Newton polygons forms a partially ordered set\, and if we refine this construction by restricting to Newton polygons associated to elements in a fixed stratum of the affine Bruhat decomposition\, there is a unique maximum element.  The primary goal of this talk will be to provide a closed formula for computing this maximal element in terms of directed paths in the quantum Bruhat graph.  Curiously\, combining this result with work of Postnikov shows that our formula for the maximal Newton polygon coincides with that for the minimal monomial in the product of two Schubert classes in the quantum cohomology of the complete complex flag variety.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIt is often suggested that incentive schemes under moral hazard can be gamed by an agent with superior knowledge of the environment\, and that deliberate lack of transparency about the incentive scheme can reduce gaming. We formally investigate these arguments in a two-task moral hazard model in which the agent is privately informed about which task is less costly for him. We examine a simple class of incentive schemes that are “opaque” in that they make the agent uncertain ex ante about the incentive coefficients in the linear payment rule. Relative to transparent menus of linear contracts\, these opaque schemes induce more balanced efforts\, but also impose more risk on the agent per unit of aggregate effort induced. We identify settings in which optimally designed opaque schemes not only strictly dominate the best transparent menu but also eliminate the efficiency losses from the agent’s hidden information. Opaque schemes are more likely to be preferred to transparent ones when i) efforts on the tasks are highly complementary for the principal\; ii) the agent’s privately known preference between the tasks is weak\; iii) the agent’s risk aversion is significant\; and iv) the errors in measuring performance have large correlation or small variance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Changing World – Changing Exploration
DESCRIPTION:The world continues to change\, most recently through global connectivity and digital technology that have been termed the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”.  This revolution is already impacting energy use\, transportation\, and employment.  When combined with new materials and associated applications\, there is potential for disruptive changes to metal markets and hence mining and exploration.\n\nThese developments build on existing trends that already affect mining such as population growth\, basic human needs\, emerging economies\, and heightened expectations for quality of life and a clean environment. \nPredicting how these factors will play out in the short to long term is challenging.  Potential decline in metal demand would clearly reduce exploration expenditure while rapid increases in metal use\, or supply constraints\, could cause metal-specific exploration booms\, as happened with rare earth elements in 2010-11.  Neither support consistent exploration efforts.\n\nMining and exploration have always adapted to fluctuating demand. The first primitive miners responded to early metal use\, and new mines and more sophisticated tools developed over the subsequent 6000 years.  The rate of change increased with the industrial revolution\, new bulk mining methods\, and dramatic changes in processing.  Exploration responded with explorers going to new places\, with new ideas and technology\, and many excellent discoveries followed.  While a spirit of adventure and field skills have remained consistent ingredients for success\, many aspects of modern exploration would be unrecognizable to practitioners operating thirty-five years ago.  Change will continue but predicting the end-result in thirty-five years is as difficult as it would have been to predict the present thirty-five years ago. \nGiven current trends in exploration\, the following will be important areas for change.\n\nBusiness and partnerships:  The effectiveness of funding strategies and partnerships among exploration-focused juniors and mid-tier or major producers has declined.  New business models are needed.  National companies and downstream technology companies both need to secure resources\, a need that may offer exploration investment opportunities.  Lastly\, gaining community support will require models involving shared benefits and innovative partnerships.\n\nTechnology and tools: New mobile analytical equipment and sensors will generate increasing amounts of field data\, which if used in conjunction with traditional techniques\, will accelerate programs and decision making.  Rapid drilling technology from fewer\, smaller drill pads with real-time data will result in more targets being tested for less dollars and less impact.\nData: The data explosion also threatens to hinder effective exploration if not managed appropriately.  Intelligent methods for QA-QC\, integration and interrogation will help significantly if geared towards results.\n\nExploration strategy:  In spite of new ore deposit models\, we struggle to understand system footprints\, the clusters of deposits they contain\, and the potential for quality discoveries.  Brownfields and Greenfields exploration require different applications\, and Greenfields in particular needs renewed impetus that is only likely with new business and funding models.\nIn spite of global change and all its ramifications\, quality discoveries are clearly required.  These still create the most value with the least impact.  It remains to be seen whether we can harness change to improve our odds of making these discoveries.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:2016 Parents Weekend
DESCRIPTION:A NYT Bestseller and White House pick\, $2.00 a Day\, was the summer book for the Class of 2020\, written by Kathryn J. Edin (Professor of Sociology & Public Health\, Johns Hopkins University) and H. Luke Schaefer (Associate Professor of Social Work and the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, University of Michigan). Through their research\, the authors discovered\, surprisingly\, that one and a half million households in America live on $2.00 a day\, per person. Edin and Schaefer spoke with family members about their stories: where they live\, how they came to be in their situation\, what they do to survive. \n\nHonors is pleased to welcome the authors as guest lecturers at the 2016 Family Weekend\, Friday\, November 4\, in Angell Aud B for an open talk and book signing. The event begins at 4:00p\, followed by a meet and greet in the Perlman Honors Commons with light refreshments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar: Josh Karslake and Tehetina Woldemichael\, Post-Doctoral Students
DESCRIPTION:Tehetina Woldemichael\n\n\"Exploring Drug Bioaccumulation and Stabilization with respect to Endolysosomal Ion Homeostasis Using a Systems-based Mathematical Modeling Approach\"\nEven though most of the FDA approved drugs currently out in the market as well as in the process of development are weakly basic drugs\, the bioaccumulation and stabilization of these drugs remains to be a topic that has not been well understood. For this purpose\, we use a model drug\, Clofazimine (CFZ)\, which is an FDA approved\, weakly basic and poorly soluble drug that has been used worldwide to treat patients with leprosy and tuberculosis diseases\, curing over 14 million people in the last twenty years\, to investigate its bioaccumulation and stabilization properties. During prolonged oral administration\, CFZ accumulates in macrophages of humans and mice as Crystal Like Drug Inclusions (CLDIs)\, which have been chemically characterized to be composed of hydrochloride salts of CFZ (CFZ-HCl) crystals. However\, the mechanism by which the formation and stabilization of these insoluble complexes in cells is not known. Thus\, due to sufficient proton and chloride levels in endolysosomes\, we hypothesize that the drug accumulation and stabilization processes are occurring inside intracellular compartments of likely endolysosomal origin\, in macrophages of humans as well as mice. To test our hypothesis\, we adapt a systems-based mathematical lysosomal ion regulation model which consists of lysosomal membrane proteins\, such as\, the Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase)\, Cl-/H+ antiporter known as CLC7\, and membrane proton leak in order to investigate the key lysosomal parameters that play essential role in the physiological\, dose-dependent CFZ-HCl crystal bioaccumulation. Furthermore\, we examine the stabilization of the free base (CFZ) versus salt form (CFZ-HCl) of the drug by mathematically fitting an in vitro pH-dependent solubility data of CFZ-HCl crystals obtained at pH ranging between extracellular\, cellular and subcellular pH values\, and determining the solubility properties dictated by the apparent pKa\, intrinsic free base and salt solubility\, pHmax\, and Ksp values. Collectively\, our computational results as well as the CFZ-HCl solubility parameters in relation to the ion contents and pH of the microenvironment suggest that the physiological and preferential accumulation and stabilization mechanisms of CFZ-HCl crystals in macrophages\, more specifically in macrophage lysosomes\, are primarily determined by the lysosomal V-ATPase. \n\nJason Karslake\n\"Population Density Modulates Drug Inhibition and Treatment Outcomes for Bacterial Infections\"\n\nThe inoculum effect (IE) is an increase in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic as a function of the initial size of a microbial population. The IE has been observed in a wide range of bacteria\, implying that antibiotic efficacy may depend on population density. Such density dependence could have dramatic effects on bacterial population dynamics and potential treatment strategies\, but explicit measures of per capita growth as a function of density are generally not available. Instead\, the IE measures MIC as a function of initial population size\, and population density changes by many orders of magnitude on the timescale of the experiment. Therefore\, the functional relationship between population density and antibiotic inhibition is generally not known\, leaving many questions about the impact of the IE on different treatment strategies unanswered. To address these questions\, here we directly measured real-time per capita growth of Enterococcus faecalis populations exposed to antibiotic at fixed population densities using multiplexed computer-automated culture devices. We show that density-dependent growth inhibition is pervasive for commonly used antibiotics\, with some drugs showing increased inhibition and others decreased inhibition at high densities. For several drugs\, the density dependence is mediated by changes in extracellular pH\, a community-level phenomenon not previously linked with the IE. Using a simple mathematical model\, we demonstrate how this density dependence can modulate population dynamics in constant drug environments. Then\, we illustrate how time-dependent dosing strategies can mitigate the negative effects of density-dependence. Finally\, we show that these density effects lead to bistable treatment outcomes for a wide range of antibiotic concentrations in a pharmacological model of antibiotic treatment. As a result\, infections exceeding a critical density often survive otherwise effective treatments.

We consider three core concepts - dependence\, disequilibrium\, and punishment. Using video clips from Tamil\, Hindi\, and Malayalam films from across various decades\, we look at how these themes are tied to mythology and religion\, and more recently to the idea of a developmental state. \nSpeaker Bio\nJoyojeet Pal is an assistant professor at the School of Information\, his research is on technology and accessibility in the Global South. He researched and produced the documentary \"For the Love of a Man\" on cinema fan culture in India which was nominated for best documentary in the Venice Classics series at the 2015 Venice Film Festival.\n--

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:One of the principal analytic questions about automorphic L-functions are the so-called subconvex estimates on the size of their critical values\, deeply arithmetic both in proofs and in the often spectacular consequences. In this talk\, we will present our recent subconvexity bound for the central value of the L-function associated to a fixed cuspidal newform f twisted by a Dirichlet character chi of a high prime power conductor. From an adelic viewpoint\, the analogy between this so-called \"depth aspect\" and the familiar t-aspect is particularly natural\, as one is focusing on ramification at one (finite or infinite) place at a time. We prove our results by exhibiting strong cancellation between the Hecke eigenvalues of f and the values of chi\, which act as twists by exponentials with a p-adically analytic phase. Among the tools\, we develop p-adic counterparts to Farey dissection and van der Corput estimates for exponential sums. This is joint work with Valentin Blomer.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Multi-armed Bandit methods have been successful for A\B testing. It is the main algorithm behind google analytics. I will apply these methods to the scenario where we have large list of 100+ items and we want to find out which are the best ones (most desirable by consumers). My focus will be on large MaxDiff studies whose main purpose is identifying the top few items for the sample. I will present a new adaptive approach called Bandit MaxDiff that may increase efficiency fourfold over standard non-adaptive MaxDiff.  I show simulated results based on data from a large consumer packaged goods manufacturer. Speaker(s): Alexander Zaitzeff (University of Michigan)

DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Center for Campus Involvement (CCI)\, the William Monroe Trotter Multicultural Center will be hosting a screening of Ava Duvernay's documentary 13th on Friday\, November 4th at 6:00 pm in the lounge.\n \nFrom the official Netflix Youtube account:\n\n\"The title of Ava DuVernay’s extraordinary and galvanizing documentary 13TH refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution\, which reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude\, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted\, shall exist within the United States.” The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists\, politicians\, historians\, and formerly incarcerated women and men\, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis. Now Streaming on Netflix.\"\n\n***After the film\, there will be a dialogue surrounding topics of the film facilitated by staff members of Trotter.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Honeybee Crisis: Real Causes and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:It is often difficult to discern between causes and symptoms when looking at an illness. In our culture\, viruses\, bacteria and parasites are mistakenly seen as the cause for illness\, when in reality they are the symptoms of a weakened immune system. When we are really healthy\, we can ward off these attacks without a problem. But how often do we aim to get rid of these symptoms with antibiotics\, sulfites etc.\, leaving the cause - a compromised immune system - undisturbed? \n\nAt this time of severe honeybee crisis\, we must ask ourselves not only which agricultural practices and chemicals contribute to the severe colony losses\, but also which beekeeping practices have been developed over the last 150 years that contribute to weakening the immune system of the honeybee.  To avoid looking at the beekeeper's part of the problem\, we strive to aim at breeding a 'Super Bee'\, which is able to withstand all the inflictions imposed on her.  This is\, to my understanding\, an illusionary goal! It is time\, and of highest importance\, to face the fact that beekeeping practices have become as exploitive and mechanized as the rest of agricultural practices and we beekeepers must also bear our own responsibility for the honeybees' plight. Biodynamic\, sustainable methods in beekeeping and agriculture offer real solutions.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Athi-Patra Ruga at MOCAD
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the border-zones between fashion\, performance\, and contemporary art\, Athi-Patra Ruga makes work that exposes and subverts the body in relation to structure\, ideology\, and politics. Bursting with eclectic multicultural references\, carnal sensuality\, and a dislocated undercurrent of humor\, Ruga’s work creates a world where cultural identity is no longer determined by geographical origins\, ancestry\, or biological disposition\, but is increasingly becoming a hybrid construct.\n\nAthi-Patra has exhibited widely including recent exhibitions at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art\, the 55th Venice Biennale\, The Brass Artscape in Brussels\, SFMOMA\, the Tate Modern\, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Athi-Patra Ruga was also recently included in the Phaidon book Younger Than Jesus\, a directory of over 500 of the world’s best artists under the age of 33.\n\nPresented in conjunction with Athi-Patra’s Thursday\, November 10 Penny W. Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series presentation at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor.  An additional event with Athi-Patra Ruga will take place at 7 pm on Friday\, November 11 at Bona Sera (200 W Michigan Ave\, Ypsilanti).

Thom Jurek of Allmusic.com calls Suzanne's latest\, \"Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles\,\" \"a welcome return by an artist who has remained stubbornly true to herself and only records when she has something new to say.\" It's hard to imagine a better meeting of venue and songwriter than The Ark!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Saturday Morning Physics | Nanoscale Microscopy: Understanding Life One Molecule at a Time
DESCRIPTION:Molecules and their chemical interactions lie at the heart of the world around us. To understand biology\, physics\, and materials science on the molecular scale\, Professor Biteen has been building super-resolution microscopes that bridge the gap between traditional microscopy and the nanometer scale of molecules. These new methods allow direct visualization of very subtle details—down to just one protein moving inside a living cell! Professor Biteen will discuss how this single-molecule fluorescence imaging can measure properties that have remained inaccessible due to the fundamental limitations of traditional approaches\, with an emphasis on questions important to human health\, for instance\, “How do the bacteria in our guts ensure digestive health?” and \"How is the cholera disease regulated?\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jo Serrapere & the LaFawndas
DESCRIPTION:Jo Serrapere (sarah-pear)\, a songwriter from Detroit\, Michigan\, started playing guitar at 23 when seeking out lessons from Delta blues guitarist Shari Kane. Jo’s music is original while always reflecting her love of American roots music. Her eclectic writing and performance fuses elements of various modern and traditional folk music\, classic country\, old-time and electric blues\, garage rock\, surf\, swing and alt-country. With her new band\, the LaFawndas\, Jo’s writing is heavily inspired by the music of Wanda Jackson. She moves from gogo boots to cowgirl boots with a wry social observation of the present times. Sometimes dark and heartbreaking\, but mostly fun and satirical\, they change up their instruments and musical styles with ease. From classic country to swing to garage rock\, Jo’s original material often sounds very familiar\, yet with a fresh\, smart voice. The LaFawndas are Drew Howard (pedal steel\, guitars\, Dobro\, banjo)\, Dave Roof (bass\, guitars\, trumpet\, organ\, backing vocals)\, Laura Ann Bates (piano\, organ\, bass\, backing vocals) and Stuart Tucker (drums and percussion). They come to The Ark with a new album\, “Dollar Store Nation.”
