Archigram operated as an experimental think-tank. The practice produced a multitude of products that represented a shift in how architectural practice is considered including a magazine\, projects\, models\, exhibitions and proposals. This shift in architectural practice focused on prioritizing processes and responsive structures for living. Influenced by popular culture and responding to the proliferation of technological advances at the time\, as well as recognizing the increasing social and political discontent\, Archigram’s production emphasized mobility and flexibility in ways that continue to have currency today.\nAt Archigram\, Crompton was an enthusiast of gadgets\, machines\, techniques and systems\, and invented the provocative “things that go bang in the night” projects. He orchestrated the Archigram Archives in 1975 when the practice ended. With Ron Herron\, Crompton was responsible for the assembly and design of the major exhibition “Archigram: Experimental Architecture 1961-74\,” which opened in Vienna in 1994. He shepherded the Archigram Exhibition around Europe\, Asia and North America. Archigram was awarded the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture by the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2002.\nOutside of Archigram\, Crompton had a strong involvement with the Architectural Association School since 1965 where he taught for over thirty years. More recently\, he taught masters courses in Architecture and Urban Design at The Bartlett School of Architecture and frequently lectures in the U.S. and Europe.\nExhibition opening reception for Crompton's exhibition\, \"Archigram\,\" will immediately follow at the Liberty Research Annex (305 W. Liberty St.\, Ann Arbor).

Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

Shawls are symbols of womanhood and are of significance to many American Indian tribal cultures. Now-a-day traditional female dancers complete their regalia by carrying the shawl over their left arm which is closest to the heart\, and the fringe sways to the heartbeat rhythm of the drum.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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 UID:44929-10012376@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170202T091836 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Clements Library: A Century of Collecting\, 1903 - 2016 DESCRIPTION:The William L Clements Library is one of the world’s finest early American history collections.

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.

The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

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.

Cordillera Capital: Baguio and the Architecture of U.S. Colonialism in the Philippines DESCRIPTION:My presentation centers on the construction and use of Baguio\, an American colonial retreat in the U.S. colonial Philippines located in the mountains of northern Luzon. It had been designed for U.S. officials to find relaxation and reprieve from the tropical heat of the lowlands and arguably from their colonial charges. To build this colonial place\, Americans appropriated indigenous peoples’ land\, transforming what had been fodder for the Ibaloi peoples’ cattle into sites for recreation and landscape views to offset colonialists’ nostalgia and gird them for the colonial occupation. Ibaloi pasture became grassy parks\, a polo field\, a golf green tended by Ibaloi caddies\, and flower and vegetable gardens of the colony’s new headmen. Though the enclave\, far from the Manila capital\, may seem superfluous to U.S. rule\, Americans used the hill station\, designed by Progressive-era architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham\, in politically significant ways: to reproduce American labor in the colony—in cultural and material terms--\, recruit a comprador class\, and gain a foothold in a region that became critical to justifying U.S. rule by the 1910s. I will discuss what this small\, colonial retreat can tell us about the history of U.S. colonialism in the Philippines.

Rosemarie Garland-Thomson\, influentially\, has argued that in disability’s “economy of visual difference\, those bodies deemed inferior become spectacles of otherness while the unmarked are sheltered in the neutral space of normalcy.” In the form of comics\, this particular relationship with visual embodiment is placed front and center for the reader to engage with\, through drawn imagery on the page. For autobiographical comics\, especially\, this relationship raises questions about how authors might employ various visual codes in order to elude the objectifying gaze commonly associated with looking at disability. Using as its case study Al Davison’s memoir about living with spina bifida The Spiral Cage\, this talk examines the relationship between disability\, representation\, visuality\, and autobiography in comics.\n\nBio: Frederik Byrn Køhlert is a Lecturer at the University of East Anglia. His research concerns issues of representation in literary and visual culture\, with a special emphasis on comics and graphic novels. He is the author of several articles about trauma\, gender\, and representation in autobiographical comics\, as well as a monograph on literary representations of Chicago. His most recent research focuses on political comics and cartoons\, and he is currently working on projects concerning the intersection of comics and anarchism and the international reception of Charlie Hebdo in the wake of the shootings at the newspaper’s editorial office. His book Serial Selves: Identity and Representation in Autobiographical Comics is forthcoming from Rutgers University Press. \n \nThis event is generously cosponsored by the UM Disability Initiative and the Disability Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop.\n\nPlease RSVP to enijdam@umich.edu.

In this talk\, we will present the Extended Smoothed Boundary Method (SBM)\, which uses a phase-field-like domain parameter to define the bulk domain where the partial differential equations are solved and the boundaries where the boundary conditions are imposed. This method is straightforward in derivation and simple in numerical implementation. As a diffuse interface approach\, the SBM circumvents the need for structural meshing of the interfaces\, which are difficult when the interfacial morphologies are complex. Thus\, the SBM is a very powerful tool for image-based three-dimensional microstructural simulations. A variety of partial differential equations can be reformulated using the SBM\, including those that govern mass transport\, stress-strain responses\, phase transformations\, and electrochemistry. Validation tests are presented\, and applications of the SBM will be demonstrated\, including simulations based on experimentally obtained three-dimensional microstructures in energy materials.

Explanatory gaps are often thought to foreclose reductive possibilities wherever they appear. In response\, reductivists who grant the existence of these gaps have offered countless local solutions. But all such reductivist responses have had a serious shortcoming: because they appeal to essentially domain-specific features\, they cannot be fully generalized\, and in this sense these responses have been not just local but parochial. Here I do better. Taking for granted that the explanatory gap is a genuine phenomenon\, I offer a fully general diagnosis that unifies these previously fragmented reductivist responses.\"\n\nhttps://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/about/faculty/neil-mehta-2/ UID:31439-4260709@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31439 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170113T181724 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics DESCRIPTION:Tautological relations are certain equations in the Chow ring of the moduli space of curves.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

Variations in Agulhas warm water transports along the southeast African continental margin foster exchanges of heat and moisture with the atmosphere that influence southern Africa regional rainfall. \nExpedition 361 tapped exceptionally intact archives back to the late Miocene in four of the sites. The sedimentological characteristics range from highly terrigenous near the Zambezi (Site U1477) and Limpopo (U1478) Rivers and in the Natal Valley (U1474) to carbonate rich in the northern Mozambique Channel (U1476)\, the Agulhas Plateau (U1475) and the Cape Basin (U1479). Nannofossils and foraminifers provided well-developed shipboard biostratigraphies that are in accord with paleomagnetic and diatom stratigraphies. All of the studied fossil groups show a mixture of tropical\, subtropical convergence\, and temperate or subpolar species in the southernmost sites\, and changes through time in these assemblages will provide important constraints on the dynamics of the Agulhas system. The records sampled on Expedition 361 hold significant potential to investigate the connections between southern African terrestrial climates and SE Indian Ocean heat budgets\, and notably the links to the cultural evolution of early modern humans. The talk will give a background and overview of the expedition and present emerging preliminary results.

Grenoble DESCRIPTION:Lenore A. Grenoble is the John Matthews Manly Distinguished Service Professor and Chair of the Department of Linguistics and Humanities Collegiate Division and the Acting Director of Graduate Studies for Slavic Linguistics\, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago.\n\nLenore Grenoble: \"When the dream falters: The role of the linguist and how to do\, and undo\, things with words\"\n\nAbstract\nDr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. 15 years later\, in 1983\, President Ronald Reagan signed into law a national holiday in commemoration of his life and death. The law went into effect three years later\, with a bumpy history\; it was not until the year 2000 that all 50 states celebrated the holiday under this name\, with opponents citing a number of reasons ranging from King’s alleged communist ties to claims of his overall historical insignificance.\n\nDr. King had a dream\, a dream that his “four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” (King 1963). \n\nCurrent world events give reason to question the status of Dr. King’s vision today This year\, as part of the official commemoration of his life and death\, it is time to take stock of where we are\, where we have been\, and where we are going As a linguist\, I consider this question of judgment not just on skin color\, but also on language\, a key indicator of identity.\n\nIn this talk I examine what we do\, as speakers and listeners\, with words\, and how as linguists we can lay these devices bare so that we can “undo” some of them. There are ample examples here in the US\, but I take a broader\, international stance and draw on data from my own fieldwork in Russian\, and on indigenous languages in the Arctic and in Africa\, and consider three interrelated practices:\n\n1. Naming practices (including the name of this very holiday)\n2. Social indexing: creating stereotypes and using them\n3. Language (in)equality and linguistic rights\n\nAs linguists –be it as teachers or students of linguistics—we have a particular responsibility to educate the public\, and one another\, about what we do with words. I echo Dr. King in wondering how successful we have been in fulfilling our obligations as educators\, and think about how we can do better:\n\nAt this point\, I often wonder whether or not education is fulfilling its purpose. A great majority of the so-called educated people do not think logically and scientifically. Even the press\, the classroom\, the platform\, and the pulpit in many instances do not give us objective and unbiased truths. To save man from the morass of propaganda\, in my opinion\, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence\, to discern the true from the false\, the real from the unreal\, and the facts from the fiction.\n -Martin Luther King\, Jr. (1947) UID:31068-4026886@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31068 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,colloquium,Discussion,Language LOCATION:East Hall - 4448 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170113T181725 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Preprint Algebraic Geometry Seminar DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s): Bhargav Bhatt (UM) UID:37477-6591151@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37477 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161216T131827 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170113T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reconstructing History of African Slavery in Qajar Iran: Interplay between Photography and Anthropology DESCRIPTION:The study of Iranian photo-history is still in its infancy and began only in the late 1970s. When Western scholars focus on the contributions of European photographers in Iran and on issues of Orientalism\, Iranian scholars\, eager to document indigenous contributions\, published evidence based on the rare collection of photographic albums of the Qajar period. None of these two groups of researchers have shown any particular interest in visual representations of the enslaved in general\, and African slaves in particular\, in their studies. Even among historians of Iran the topic of slaves (bardeh) and slavery (bardeh dari)\, especially African slavery\, is a non-developed topic.\n\nAccordingly\, this presentation investigates the ways in which African slaves were represented\, documented\, debated\, and asserted in a wide range of photographs of Iran during Qajar period (1789–1925). These images capture the presence of African slaves who have too often been ignored and erased from the historical records of Iran. We view these photographs as powerful images with enduring meanings and legacies. In that context\, these photographs are important and perhaps the only historical sources that can inform the thinking of readers and scholars about the intertwined histories of African slavery and photography in Iran. All of these photographs reveal the different ways in which African slaves were posed by others\, and remind us to ask ourselves about the meaning of being an African slave in Iran. Therefore\, this project endeavors to demonstrate the undeniable importance of such photographs to understand the history of African slavery in Iran. \n \nPedram Khosronejad is Farzaneh Family Chair and Associate Director for Iranian and Persian Gulf Studies Program (IPGS) at the Oklahoma State University and also associated member of Groupe Sociétés\, Religions\, Laicités\,CNRS-Paris\, France.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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 UID:44929-10012377@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170629T121743 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170114T100000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Michigan Women's Tennis - Michigan Invitational DESCRIPTION:Michigan Women's Tennis - Michigan Invitational UID:34270-4901088@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34270 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Women's Tennis LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161208T124634 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170114T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170114T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Family Art Studio: Making African Masks DESCRIPTION:Free.

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.

The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

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.

Jill keeps little of her process away from her audience\; each show is about opening a window and shining a light into her songwriting\, leading inevitably to the intense relationship with her fans.

Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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 UID:44929-10012378@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161006T114729 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170115T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170115T170000 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.

The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

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.

Tresilian\, Gawain\, and Forms of Protection DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Allen is Associate Professor of English at the University of California\, Irvine\, and the author of False Fables and Exemplary Truth in Later Middle English Literature\, and of diverse articles and book chapters on Marie de France\, Chaucer\, Gower and Christine de Pizan\, among other topics in medieval and early modern English literature. The paper we will discuss is drawn from a chapter of her book in progress\, Uncertain Refuge: Ideas of Sanctuary in Medieval English Literature. \n\nHere is an abstract of the topic to be discussed: Sanctuary offers a conceptual apparatus for thinking about medieval political power and the ethics of care and protection. This chapter examines two texts concerned with the king’s legal and moral capacity to protect his subjects. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight interweaves spaces of refuge with portable forms of protection\, the hero's famous shield and his talismanic girdle. The Westminster Chronicle structures the Merciless Parliament (1388) around a signal violation of sanctuary in his own monastery. In very different genres\, both texts respond to a shared set of political concerns.

Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

Cross\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor Emeritus\, Michigan State University and member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe\, is a shawl maker and beadwork artist. She created this body of work to increase awareness and emphasize cardiac health for American Indian women by informing\, supporting\, and encouraging self-care and the value of changing life ways. Shawls are symbols of womanhood and are of significance to many American Indian tribal cultures. Now-a-day traditional female dancers complete their regalia by carrying the shawl over their left arm which is closest to the heart\, and the fringe sways to the heartbeat rhythm of the drum.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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 UID:44929-10012379@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170103T172058 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170116T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170116T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Amy Goodman & Issa Rae: University of Michigan MLK Symposium Memorial Keynote Lecture DESCRIPTION:The University community is especially pleased to welcome Golden Globe nominee Issa Rae\, writer\, producer\, and star of the hit HBO series Insecure\, and Amy Goodman\, award winning investigative journalist\, author\, syndicated columnist\, and host of Democracy Now!\, as speakers for the 31st annual University of Michigan MLK Symposium keynote memorial lecture.\n\n The staple event will be held on January 16\, 2017\, at Hill Auditorium\, located at 825 N.

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.

The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

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.

From Slavery to Forced Freedom: History of African Indentured Laborers in French West Indies (Nineteenth Century) DESCRIPTION:During the nineteenth century\, all Caribbean slave societies abolished slavery and gradually passed from a system based on slave labor to a system based on wage earning. During this transition\, most societies resorted to a form of unfree labor: the indentured labor system. \n \nFrance was no exception. After 27 April 1848\, when slavery in the French colonies was permanently abolished\, colonial administrators and planters lobbied for the introduction of foreign workers under contract as a means of reorganizing labor\, which was\, as of that time\, a free market. In 1852\, the French government proclaimed two decrees\, which opened its colonies to indentured laborers coming from India\, China and also from Africa. \n \nTo successfully recruit a significant number of indentured laborers in Africa\, the French government established a special process called “rachat”\, that is to say “repurchase”. By this process\, French private merchants purchased captives in order to force on them a ten-year indenture contract. The indenture was to be executed in one of the French colonies: Réunion\, Martinique\, Guadeloupe or French Guiana. 98% of the fifty thousand Africans recruited along the West and East-African coasts between 1852 and 1862 had these contracts imposed on them. \n \nThis conference will retrace the migratory experience and the work conditions of these African “indentured” laborers across the French Atlantic. \n \nCéline Flory is a historian researcher at CNRS (French National Center of Research)\, France. Her research focuses on indenture and post-slavery Caribbean\, more precisely on the social and cultural trajectory of African engagés and their descendants. Her book\, De l’esclavage à la Liberté Forcée. Histoire des travailleurs africains engagés dans la Caraïbe française du XIXe siècle\, published in 2015 by Karthala has been granted the Fetkann – Maryse Condé 2015 Research Award.

Connolly (Johns Hopkins University). Recognizing the exceptional circumstances posed for US racial/ethnic politics by the\nTrump presidency\, these two engaged scholars of struggles for justice pick up the\ntheme of Martin Luther King Jr.’s last book\, Where Do We Go from Here?\n\nMaylei Blackwell is an associate professor in the César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o Studies and Women's Studies Department at the University of California\, Los Angeles. Her research has two distinct\, but interrelated trajectories that broadly analyze how women's social movements in the U.S. and Mexico are shaped by questions of difference ­ factors such as race\, indigeneity\, class\, sexuality or citizenship status ­and how these differences impact the possibilities and challenges of transnational organizing. Through collaborative and community-based research\, Professor Blackwell has excavated genealogies of women of color feminism in the U.S. and accompanied indigenous women organizers in Mexico as well as feminist movements and sexual rights activists throughout Latin American. Her most recent research with farm worker women and indigenous migrants seeks to better understand new forms of grassroots transnationalism.\n\nN.D.B. Connolly is Herbert Baxter Adams Associate Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University. His research focuses on the interplay between racism\, capitalism\, politics\, and the built environment in the twentieth century. Connolly's first book\, A World More Concrete: Real Estate and the Remaking of Jim Crow South Florida\, received\, among other awards\, the 2015 Liberty Legacy Foundation Book Award from the Organization of American Historians and the 2014 Kenneth T. Jackson Book Award from the Urban History Association. He is currently advancing two new book-length projects. The first is Four Daughters: An America Story\, a collective biography covers three generations of a single family\, following the lives of four women of color whose forbearers migrated from the Caribbean to the United States by way of Britain between the 1930s and 1990s. The second expands on the intimate scale of Four Daughters to assess and synthesize broader trends\, patterns\, and processes. Black Capitalism: The \"Negro Problem\" and the American Economy offers the first sweeping account of how black economic success shaped the way Americans and immigrants understood the possibilities offered by capitalism in the United States.\n\nThis event made possible by the Kalt Fund for African American and African History\, along with the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

But over time\, I have learned to embrace my identity within the mathematics community and have learned to use this to my advantage. This talk will be a reflection of this unfolding\, so naturally it will be an open\, frank\, and personal lecture. It will feature some striking\, and sometimes rather awkward\, conversations I have had about race\, gender\, and social justice within and also outside of academia. Even though a few of these experiences were negative initially\, I will share how I eventually gained something very positive out of each of these interactions.\n\nNow due to a certain recent political event\, some of us might not feel so optimistic these days and one may think that they are powerless in shaping society as a whole. This is the subject of another talk (by someone better than me!) but here I propose that we \"make the problem smaller\" as one does typically in math to gain traction on a tough problem. Namely I hope to convince you that every one of us has certain and immediate power in propelling math culture in the positive direction towards diversity\, inclusion\, and fairness amongst all mathematicians - not just the ones who fit into the standard mold.\n\n*Reception to follow in the Mathematics Atrium Speaker(s): Chelsea Walton (Temple University) UID:37757-6693435@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37757 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170116T181717 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170116T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170116T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s): No Talk UID:37531-6616570@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37531 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 4088 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170131T123019 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170116T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170116T193000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:W.W.

Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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 UID:44929-10012380@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160921T100144 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170117T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170117T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Of Love and Madness: The Literary History of Layla and Majnun DESCRIPTION:This exhibit offers a glimpse into the literary history of Layla and Majnun\, a romance of Arabian origins that exists in many poetic versions.

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.

The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

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.

In this context\, organisms could be conceptualized as active matter where tension between order and disorder prevails: while ordered systems are stable and predictable\, they leave little room for exploration\; therefore\, optimal functioning is often accomplished at an intermediate level of disorder. Examples include intrinsically disordered protein assemblies that remain intact under varying external mechanical and chemical stimuli\, beetles that navigate using volatile celestial cues\, and honeybee clusters that change their morphology to both regulate their bulk temperature\, and to withstand mechanical stresses. In this talk I will focus on the latter example in which honeybees form swarms that take on an inverted cone shape. The bees hold on to each other\, and form a large structure that can be hundreds of times the size of a single organism. The mechanism by which a multitude of bees work together\, without an overseer\, to create a stable structure that defies static gravity and dynamic stimuli (e.g. wind)\, remains elusive. To test the role of mechanical cues in the swarm morphogenesis\, we developed an experimental setup in which mechanical perturbations were applied to a swarm. In response\, the bees tuned the aspect ratio of the swarm dynamically toward a wider\, more stable\, cone. Disorder in this system is manifested in the ability of bees to sample their local environment and respond to events of sharp force by moving within the swarm\, equivalent to a solid-liquid phase transition. Indeed\, agent-based simulations where individual bees are capable of sensing local mechanical stresses\, and respond by changing the global shape of the swarm\, are in qualitative agreement with the experimental results. Together these observations suggest a new paradigm for sensing and feedback-driven stabilization of structures made of active elements.

The circulation of Plato's charioteer from late antiquity to the Renaissance\" DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Ahbel-Rappe discusses her book in progress\, in which she investigates the reception of Plato’s Phaedrus\, and especially the famous myth of the soul (Phaedrus 246-249)\, from late antiquity to the Renaissance\, tracing the phenomenon of this text’s migration into exegetical traditions and languages far removed from the original site of Plato’s dialogue. The study relies on the core idea of the text network and asks if the text itself an agent of its own migration. \n\nRecent work on text networks (Selden\, McCracken\, Lopez) investigating such multi-linguistic migratory texts as the Alexander Romance\, Life of Aesop\, or Barlaam and Josephat\, focus on the trajectory of a text\, a text that takes on its life and makes its home as an immigrant in foreign lands\, among foreign tongues. What astonishes about these texts is that they often perform their very subject matter\, and it has gone unnoticed that the myth of the charioteer in Plato’s Phaedrus fits this profile. What she means is that the myth is an allegory for the soul\, whereas Plato defines the soul at Phaedrus 246 as a self-mover. The story itself\, a tale of the embodied soul being out of place in the world and wandering through cycles of birth and death\, finds its textual analogue as the text takes on a corporeality\, a presence in space and time\, and a diffuse\, variegated voicing.\n\nFormer Humanities Institute fellow Sara Ahbel-Rappe is Professor of Classical Studies. She has written several books that focus on the trajectory of the Platonic tradition\, from the Sokratikoi Logoi to the \"last pagan professor\,\" Damascius. She is the recipient of fellowships from the Institute for Advanced Study\, the Mellon Foundation\, and Center for Hellenic Studies.

In this talk\, I will review research I have conducted that examines children’s developing social concepts and attitudes about people who speak in different languages and accents (including children from diverse linguistic backgrounds)\, children’s beliefs about the relation between cultural groups and food\, and their propensity to learn about food from messages provided by other people. My most recent work investigates children’s social reasoning in the context of food\, a domain that has been understudied by developmental psychologists but has important implications for revealing the mechanisms underlying early cognitive development. This work also addresses pressing public health concerns\, namely the development of obesity.

DESCRIPTION:Since the early days of studying electron dynamics in solid state systems\, experimental capabilities have taken great strides – from generating ultrafast pulses across wide swaths of the electromagnetic spectrum (THz to X-Rays)\, to squeezing electron bunches into sub-picosecond packets\, to resolving electron dynamics through photoemitted electrons. With these technologies\, achieving high temporal resolution\, spectral resolution and momentum resolution has become a relatively straightforward process. These technologies also have the potential for high spatial resolution\, birthing techniques such as 4D Electron Microscopy\, time-resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy\, ultrafast electron microscopy/diffraction and time-resolved photoemission microscopy (TR PEEM). Each with its own advantages\, and challenges\, the full potential of these capabilities in accessing the spatial dimensions is only just beginning to be explored. \n\nOf these\, TR PEEM is uniquely capable of resolving electron dynamics simultaneously in space\, time\, energy and momentum. By combining the temporal resolution afforded by traditional pump-probe techniques with the spatial resolution afforded by low energy electron microscopy\, TR-PEEM allows the visualization of electron transport and dynamics in solid state systems at the nano-\, femto-scale. In this talk\, I will discuss our recent results in imaging electron dynamics in semiconductor structures. In a type-II heterostructure\, we image the highly non-equilibrium distribution of electrons in space and energy at the instant of photoexcitation\, and thereafter\, make a movie of their redistribution in space as they move towards equilibrium. In a p-doped GaAs semiconductor\, we image the electron dynamics within a photoexcitation spot – a region inaccessible with optical experiments\, wherein we see unexpected and complex non-equilibrium behaviour. \n\nTime permitting\, I will end with a brief overview of other activities of my group at the newly established Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Okinawa\, Japan.

Their connected components have been classified by Kontsevich-Zorich using spin and hyperelliptic structures. In this talk\, I will introduce a compactification of these strata using logarithmic geometry. We show that such compactification distinguishes spin parities over the boundary. Furthermore\, we show that our construction Combined with admissible covers provides a toroidal compactification of the hyperelliptic component and the hyperelliptic loci of the strata. \n Speaker(s): Qile Chen (Boston College) UID:36634-5755320@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36634 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - EH 1866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170103T085150 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170117T170000 SUMMARY:Meeting:LSA Cross Campus Transfer Info Session DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking about transferring to LSA from another University of Michigan school or college?

Ideally\, the practice of sanctuary aligned divine aegis with royal mercy and human law to protect the lives of desperate people. But because it is a legal exception\, sanctuary can also be resolutely unsafe. Jurisdictional arguments and violations of sanctuary dramatize questions about the relations between law\, kingship\, and divine aegis. Beginning with the strange miracle of a stag in sanctuary\, this paper explores the ways in which uncertain refuge takes on political significance in a range of literary and documentary contexts UID:37201-6451221@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37201 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:European,Literature LOCATION:Angell Hall - Room 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161220T181600 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170117T171000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170117T183000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Meredith Monk: Pioneering Performance DESCRIPTION:Special Event: Tuesday\, January 17\, 5:10 pm at the Michigan Theater 603 E.

The dual complex (and other related constructions) provide useful tools to study the singularities of the subvariety Y\; however\, it depends on the choice of resolution. In 2007\, Thuillier proved that the homotopy type of the dual complex is independent of the choice of the resolution (provided we work over a perfect field)\, generalizing a theorem of Stepanov. The proof relies crucially on the theory of Berkovich spaces over a trivially-valued field. Our goal is to introduce the dual complex of a resolution\, and to explain some of the ideas in Thuillier's proof.

Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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 UID:44929-10012381@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170202T063022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:EXCEL Talk: Dom Flemons DESCRIPTION:Join EXCEL for a discussion and Q&A with GRAMMY Winner Dom Flemons.

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.

The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

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.

The weak scale is selected by chiral dynamics that controls the stabilization of an extra dimension. When the Higgs vacuum expectation value is close to a fermion mass scale\, the radius of an extra dimension becomes large\, and develops an enhanced number of vacua available to scan the cosmological constant down to its observed value. At low energies\, the radion necessarily appears as an unnaturally light scalar\, in a range of masses and couplings accessible to fifth-force searches as well as scalar dark matter searches with atomic clocks and gravitational-wave detectors. The fermion sector that controls the size of the extra dimension consists of a pair of electroweak doublets and several singlets. These leptons satisfy approximate mass relations related to the weak scale and can be produced at the LHC and future colliders. If time permits\, I will also present purely four-dimensional realizations of the framework.\n\nBased on arXiv:1609.06320 in collaboration with Asimina Arvanitaki\, Savas Dimopoulos\, Victor Gorbenko\, and Junwu Huang UID:37142-6173172@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37142 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Graduate,Lecture,Physics,Science,Talk,Undergraduate LOCATION:Randall Laboratory - 3481 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160822T143840 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T133000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Social Area Brown Bag DESCRIPTION:TBD UID:32345-4555101@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32345 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:brown bag,Psychology LOCATION:East Hall - 4464 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161216T135558 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Fourth Annual Gilbert S.

In a time of intensifying fears around newcomers and their negative impact on American identity and culture\, immigrants endured prejudice and discrimination\, voluntarily and involuntarily engaging in the Americanization process. Through a comparative perspective\, this lecture will focus on Armenian immigrants and the institutions they founded in America to demonstrate how in the processes of negotiating race\, language\, religion and belongings\, they produced distinct forms of Americanness and Armenianness. Complicating the concepts of ethnicity and nation\, this lecture will bring to bear the lived collective experiences and voices of immigrants to highlight alternative spaces of belonging that move beyond idealized identities.

This is likely to ignite a national policy debate. Physicists have played a major role in past U.S. national debates on nuclear-weapons policy. The purpose of this talk is to help provide some basic background to the new generation of physicists who have grown up during the past 25 years assuming that the Cold War Doomsday Machine was dismantled. It wasn’t. Indeed\, it is still on hair trigger in a launch-on-warning posture. Furthermore\, in order to get the New START Treaty ratified by the Senate\, the Obama Administration committed to modernize all U.S. nuclear “delivery vehicles” and their warheads. And\, despite the fact that the U.S. military budget is twice that of China\, Russia and Iran combined\, President Obama was unable to change U.S. nuclear policy to no first use. Finally\, he approved a massive buildup in U.S. ballistic missile defenses that resulted in Russia losing interest in further cuts and China losing interest in capping its slow nuclear buildup. Sad!

This field is concerned with the design of optimal incentives between agents during a contracting process\, and is often represented by a simplifying Principal-Agent model. In the last decade\, the dynamic extension of such approach via continuous time models has emerged\, in particular due to the impulsion of Y. Sannikov. We will see how the tools from Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and stochastic control allow to revisit such literature\, in a clear mathematical way. In particular\, we will discuss the case where a principal wishes to sign contracts with several agents in interaction. \n Speaker(s): Romuald Elie (Universite Paris-Est and UM (Sabbatical)) UID:33410-4747648@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33410 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170116T083505 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T190000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Michigan in Washington Info Session DESCRIPTION:In the Eldersveld Room UID:37802-6706227@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37802 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics LOCATION:Haven Hall - 5670 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170112T125954 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170118T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Youxue Zhang\, James R. O'Neil Collegiate Professorship in Geological Sciences\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Water is an essential ingredient of life\, and is necessary for a future human station or colony on the moon. In addition\, knowing H2O concentration in a planetary body offers clues for its origin and evolution. This inaugural lecture will focus on our recent work of the H2O content on the surface and in the interior of the moon. Even though there is no liquid water on the moon\, water ice has been found in permanently shadowed impact craters in the lunar polar region. Our studies show that both lunar surface soil and lunar interior likely contain about 100 ppm of H2O. Lunar soil water is inferred to be mostly from solar wind implantation\, and interior water is largely primordial. These results point out ways for in situ extraction of water on the moon and other airless planetary bodies\, and provide constraints on the Giant Impact Hypothesis for the origin of the moon\, as well as its evolution.

Jones (History\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, and Law)\;\nMegan Sweeney (English\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, and Women's Studies)\; \nTiya Miles (Afroamerican and African Studies\, American Culture\, History\, and Women's Studies)\n\nThis panel of U-M faculty members will discuss the recent book\, Toward an Intellectual History of Black Women (University of North Carolina Press\, 2015) edited by Mia E. Bay\, Farah J. Griffin\, Martha S. Jones\, and Barbara D. Savage.\n\nDespite recent advances in the study of black thought\, black women intellectuals remain often neglected. This collection of essays by fifteen scholars of history and literature establishes black women's places in intellectual history by engaging the work of writers\, educators\, activists\, religious leaders\, and social reformers in the United States\, Africa\, and the Caribbean. Dedicated to recovering the contributions of thinkers marginalized by both their race and their gender\, these essays uncover the work of unconventional intellectuals\, both formally educated and self-taught\, and explore the broad community of ideas in which their work participated. The end result is a field-defining and innovative volume that addresses topics ranging from religion and slavery to the politicized and gendered reappraisal of the black female body in contemporary culture.

Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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 UID:44929-10012382@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170104T152959 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:mmmmmm writing DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Sweetland Peer Writing Center on Thursday\, January 19th any time between 9:30am and noon for free coffee and donuts. \n\nCheck out Writing Center and find out how we can help you with your essays\, research papers\, and other writing projects in the coming year.\n\nPeer Writing Center - Angell Hall G219 UID:37271-6483091@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37271 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Food,Free,Undergraduate,Writing LOCATION:Angell Hall - G219 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161202T140212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AUTOMATED AND CONNECTED VEHICLES: HISTORY\, DEVELOPMENT\, M-CITY\, AND THE FUTURE DESCRIPTION:Dr. Peng is the Roger L.

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.

The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

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.

The research presented in this session offers a new picture on the evolving relationship between the Bible\, midrash\, and Jewish history.\n\nJordan Rosenblum\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\nIs Pesher Habakkuk \"Midrash\"?\n\nAnswer: No\n\nJordan D. Rosenblum is Associate Professor and Belzer Professor of Classical Judaism at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on the literature\, culture\, and history of the rabbinic movement. His first book\, Food and Identity in Early Rabbinic Judaism (Cambridge University Press\, 2010\; paperback: 2014)\, explores the intersection between early rabbinic food regulations and identity construction. He is currently completing a book\, entitled The Jewish Dietary Laws in the Ancient World (under contract with Cambridge University Press)\, which examines ancient critiques and apologies for biblical food regulations. In addition\, he is the co-editor of Religious Competition in the Third Century C.E.: Jews\, Christians\, and the Greco-Roman World (Vandenhoek and Ruprecht\, 2014). \n\n\nTzvi Novick\, Notre Dame\nCanon to Right of Them\, Canon to Left of Them: Liturgical Poetry in Late Antique Palestine\n \nLate antique liturgical poetry—piyyut—is intensely biblical. Indeed\, like the floors of the synagogues in which they were performed\, liturgical poems might be thought of as biblical mosaics\, pieced together from words and phrases from the Bible. The assimilation of the Bible into piyyut becomes increasingly mediated by rabbinic interpretation\, and in this sense piyyut can be considered an offshoot of the burgeoning corpus of rabbinic midrash. But piyyut is not simply biblical pastiche\, or second-hand midrash. Piyyut selects and manipulates its midrashic sources to suit its distinctive needs. Moreover\, and as importantly\, piyyut is a praxis\, with its own traditions\, even a nascent canon. Finally\, piyyut\, as prayer\, constructs God as a listening and even a speaking presence in the synagogue\, and thus rubs against the historical claim at the basis of the Bible’s canonical authority\, namely\, the end of prophecy. My paper examines these ways in which piyyut sets itself apart from the Bible and from the rabbinic interpretation thereof.\n \nTzvi Novick occupies the Abrams Chair of Jewish Thought and Culture at the University of Notre Dame. His research focuses on rabbinic and para-rabbinic literature from late antiquity\, with special interests in law and liturgy. He has published a book on law and ethics in early rabbinic literature\, and numerous articles on topics in the Hebrew Bible\, Second Temple exegesis\, rabbinic literature\, and piyyut.\n \nRespondent: Rachel Neis\, Associate Professor in History and Judaic Studies\, University of Michigan.\n \n\nSponsored by: Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Near Eastern Studies\, American Academy of Jewish Research\, American Academy of Religion\, LSA Dean’s Office\, UMOR Small Grants to Support Major Conferences\, Rackham Dean’s Strategic Initiative Fund.\n\nIf you have any questions or you would like to receive the rest of the 2016-2017 calendar for the Beyond the Book speaker series\, contact Rebecca Scharbach Wollenberg (rwollenb@umich.edu).

I will overview my work on two different instances of using development to understand phenotypic evolution: ovariole number in Drosophila and migration in the monarch butterfly. I found that developmental complexity has influenced ovariole number diversification and that the same developmental pathway can link both phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary diversification of ovariole number in Drosophila lineages. More recently\, I have been working towards establishing the monarch butterfly as a model to study the molecular genetic ‘design’ of migration and how this influences the evolution of the migration strategy. I will describe experiments in which we leverage natural variation in migration capability to take a comparative developmental approach to identify the genetic and environmental basis of monarch migration.

This paper analyzes CSR activity using quasi-experimental variation created by Section 135 of India’s Companies Act of 2013\, which requires (on a “comply-or-explain” basis) that firms satisfying specific size or profit thresholds spend a minimum of 2% of their net profit on CSR. We examine effects along a number of different dimensions including firm value\, CSR spending\, and other outcomes\, as well as exploring broader theoretical implications. Our analysis uses financial statement and stock price data on Indian firms from the Prowess database\, along with hand-collected data from firms’ disclosures of CSR activity. By combining a regression discontinuity (RD) framework (based on a nonparametric local polynomial regression approach) with a standard event study\, we find a negative and substantial effect on the value of affected firms (relative to unaffected firms) around the crucial event date. This effect seems to be concentrated among firms that are less customer-facing\, as indicated by low advertising expenditures. Using a difference-in-difference approach\, we find significant increases in CSR activity among firms affected by Section 135\, especially in the fraction of firms engaging in CSR spending. The fraction of firms subject to Section 135 that engage in advertising expenditures appears to have declined\, consistent with substitution between advertising and CSR. There is no robust evidence of any significant impact on sales or accounting performance\, although a modest decline in the return on assets cannot be ruled out. For a subset of large firms\, we hand-collect comprehensive CSR data and find that while firms initially spending less than 2% increased their CSR activity\, large firms initially spending more than 2% reduced their CSR expenditures after Section 135 came into effect. We explore various explanations for this presumably unintended consequence of Section 135\, and also seek to derive some wider implications of this analysis for understanding the role of CSR.

In particular\, it critiques the awkward incentive structures that emerge when volunteering is commodified. \n\nThe presentation then introduces the case study of Omprakash EdGE and its attempt to disrupt these interlocking trends. It proposes an alternative vision of what it might mean for students to 'know the world' in an era marked by increasing connectivity as well as increasing inequality.\n\nPlease register for this exciting and free event! https://goo.gl/forms/7M9KToOfirgRvYta2 UID:37518-6610220@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37518 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Community Service,Discussion,Diversity,International,Leadership,Social Justice,Study Abroad,Talk,Undergraduate,Volunteer LOCATION:Museum of Art - UMMA, Multipurpose Room, Frankel Family Wing CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170119T181744 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology DESCRIPTION:We give a geometric construction of some subsets of a free group closed in the profinite topology.

Many statements of Fano varieties have a counterpart for log terminal singularities. One central topic on the geometry of a Fano variety is its stability which for instance reflects whether the Fano variety carries a canonical metric. In this talk\, we will discuss a recent joint work with Chi Li (some part still in progress) in which we want to establish a local stability theory of a fixed log terminal singularity. Inspired by the study from differential geometry\, (e.g. tangent cone\, Sasakian-Einstein metric)\, for any log terminal singularity\, we investigate the valuation which has the minimal normalized volume. Our goal is to prove various properties of this valuation which enable us to degenerate the singularity to a K-semistable T-singularity (with a torus action) in the Sasakian-Einstein sense.

The collaboration blends the loving attention of revivalist fervor with the playful creativity of starting from scratch. Whether rendering a traditional tune or one of their many original compositions\, the duo infuses each song with musical imagination\, haunting harmonies and instrumental artistry. \"We love pushing the boundaries of what a traditional song can be\,\" says Beauchamp. \"It informs how we write our original songs. There's a real energy exchange between the old and the new.\" Red Tail Ring comes to southeast Michigan with a new album\, \"Fall Away Blues\,\" containing eight original songs\, three traditional interpretations\, \"and one blistering tune.\" UID:31646-4375187@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31646 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170103T141024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T213000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Sustainabowl Trivia Night DESCRIPTION:A battle of brains!
