SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:People and Places: Exploring the Ernst Pulgram and Frances McSparran Collection
DESCRIPTION:From the eighteenth through the early twentieth century\, Europe underwent a series of changes and upheavals\, including industrialization and two World Wars. Artists responded to these enormous changes\, some working within established artistic traditions\, others rejecting artistic conventions to find new forms. Lehti Keelmann\, UMMA’s Assistant Curator of Western Art and curator of the exhibition Europe on Paper: The Ernst Pulgram and Frances McSparran Collection (on view through January 29\, 2017)\, will delve into these varied interpretations of Europe’s people and places\, and particularly the expressive capacities of line to both depict and comment upon human experience.\n\nLead support for the exhibition Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art & Healing: American Indian Textiles & Beads
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne L. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. 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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Premodern Colloquium. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hot Club of Cowtown
DESCRIPTION:The Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown explores the space where early jazz met Texas swing\, where Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang met Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Guitarist Whit Smith and fiddler Elana James have become a world-class country-jazz duo\, challenging each other and reading each other's minds at every turn. Add in the insouciant lyrics of the era and the vigorous slap-bass rhythms of Jake Erwin\, and you've got virtuoso small-group western swing that's beyond infectious. If you've seen the Hot Club before\, be advised that they're only getting better—they went on hiatus\, got back together\, and came out of it stronger. By now they're one of the great improvising bands in any genre. Their latest\, \"Midnight on the Trail\,\" explores classics of the cowboy-song genre.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. 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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture.    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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Martin Luther King Day at the Detroit Center
DESCRIPTION:In commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day\, visit the University of Michigan Detroit Center and participate in a series of inspiring and educational events beginning at 10 a.m.\, Monday\, January 16 with free admission and parking in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra structure for all attendees.\n\nA simulcast of the 2017 Annual Martin Luther King Day Symposium keynote program will take place in the Ann Arbor room of the Detroit Center from 10 - 11:30 a.m. 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 keynote memorial lecture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Where Do We Go from Here?\": 2017 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Maylei Blackwell (University of California\, Los Angeles) and N.B.D. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:One Drop of Love
DESCRIPTION:This multimedia one-woman show\, written and performed by U-M alum Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni\, explores the intersections of race\, class and gender in search of truth\, justice and love.\n\nThe show incorporates filmed images\, photographs and animation to tell the story of how the notion of ‘race’ came to be in the United States and how it affects our most intimate relationships. A moving memoir\, One Drop of Love takes audiences from the 1700s to the present\, to cities all over the U.S. and to West and East Africa\, where Fanshen and her father spent time in search of their ‘racial’ roots. The ultimate goal of the show is to encourage everyone to discuss ‘race’ and racism openly and critically. It deals with purposefully raw content.\n\nThis event is sponsored by the University of Michigan Library\, the Bentley Library\, the Law Library\, University Housing\, the School of Information\, and the School of Music\, Theatre and Dance as part of the U-M Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SPECIAL EVENT
DESCRIPTION:For obvious reasons\, I do not fit into the standard mold of a mathematician. 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)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Steel Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:In the year 2000\, Tim Shoemaker found a niche and started doing business as Eclipse Mobile Welding. On some days you can find him on the road welding and repairing construction equipment\, on other days he will be in his shop creating steel sculpture. Shoemaker’s inspiration is spontaneous and seemingly random\, and his interests range from wildlife to guitars. He uses hand tools to cut\, hammer\, bend\, grind and weld his sculptures to life\, giving them movement and character.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. 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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:“Intrinsically Disordered Living Systems”
DESCRIPTION:Complex Systems joint with Biophysics Presents the following Seminar:\n\nAbstract:\n\nTo survive in noisy environments\, organisms must buffer themselves against large fluctuations and accommodate adaptation over a wide range of length and time scales. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Environmental Research Seminar: 1\,4-Dioxane in Cape Fear River Basin\, North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: 1\,4-Dioxane is a known liver and kidney toxicant and is classified as likely carcinogenic to humans. 1\,4-Dioxane is a water soluble solvent recognized by the US EPA as an emerging drinking water contaminant of concern. Communities in North Carolina\, Michigan\, and elsewhere share significant concern over 1\,4-D-contaminated drinking water. This contaminant has been detected in municipal drinking water in Pittsboro\, NC\, at some of the highest levels in the US due to contamination in the Cape Fear River basin. In Washtenaw County\, MI\, a migrating 1\,4-D groundwater contamination plume at concentrations above benchmarks has contaminated numerous drinking water wells including a former municipal supply well.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Plato's Self-Moving Myth. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Diversity Postdoc Talk - Developmental Area
DESCRIPTION:Title: Language\, culture\, and food: Children's developing social concepts and attitudes\n\nAbstract: Language is multifaceted – not only does language facilitate learning by transmitting information between individuals\, but it also marks social groups in nuanced ways. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Imaging the Motion of Electrons in Semiconductor Structures: The Crazy\, the Boring and the New!
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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:The strata of abelian differentials with prescribed zeros are interesting objects of study from Teichmuller dynamics point of view. 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)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Uncertain Refuge: Sanctuary in Medieval Literature
DESCRIPTION:In medieval England\, any felon could avoid prosecution under the law by running to a church. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Given a variety X\, a closed subvariety Y\, and a resolution of the pair (X\,Y)\, one may construct a simplicial complex from the combinatorics of the exceptional divisors of the resolution\; this is called the dual complex of the resolution. 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.  Speaker(s): Matt Stevenson (UM)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Suzanne L. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Human Language II
DESCRIPTION:Having defined language and examined development in Human Language I\, we continue with McWhorter's lectures and explore how contact between human cultures influences languages. We see how language can start over--as Pidgins and Creoles. We reexamine English\, both its history and the variety known as Black English. We conclude by appraising the death of specific languages\, artificial languages. The course ends with a finale - McWhorter's Master Class. Each session will consist of two half hour lectures\, with discussion following each lecture. Arthur Brakel\, a linguist\, will moderate the sessions. This class for adults over 50 meets Wednesdays through March 29th.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. 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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminar | A Small Weak Scale from a Small Cosmological Constant
DESCRIPTION:I will present a framework in which Weinberg's anthropic explanation of the cosmological constant problem also solves the hierarchy problem. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Seminar on Geometry\, Dynamics and Topology
DESCRIPTION:Last week we studied Auslander's 'conjecture' that the fundamental group of a complete closed affine manifold is virtually solvable\, and the related question by Milnor\, whether this remains true without requiring the manifold to be closed. This week I will explain Margulis' construction of (noncompact) examples in dimension 3 with free fundamental group\, answering Milnor's question in the negative. We will also see how Goldman-Margulis combined the key new tool for this construction\, the Margulis invariant\, with Teichmueller theory to give a new proof of a theorem of Mess: Any counterexample to Milnor's question has to have free fundamental group.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture | Immigrants into ‘Ethnic’— Americans: Negotiating Race\, Language\, Religion and Belongings
DESCRIPTION:Problematizing the linear approach to immigrant integration and assimilation\, this lecture will explore the dynamic processes of identity negotiations among immigrants and their descendants during the period between the 1890s and 1930s. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Trump Administration Takes Office with a Downsized Cold War Nuclear Doomsday Machine Still on Hair Trigger
DESCRIPTION:President-elect Trump has indicated that he does not necessarily think that nuclear arms races and nuclear proliferation are bad. 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!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Contract theory is an economic topic\, that has been recently highlighted by the Economics Nobel Prize received by Bengt Holmstrom in 2016. 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))

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Toward an Intellectual History of Black Women
DESCRIPTION:Discussants : \nMartha S. 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.

Linder has been working on Toxic Archives\, an ongoing series where she creates a hand-drawn archive of copied pages from public archives documenting America’s toxic landscapes. \n\nThe copy\, an act of both reverence and irreverence\, used to unpack\, point fingers and make discoveries ultimately connects these two artists\, colleagues and life partners.\n\n There will be an opening reception for Linder’s exhibition “Atomic Highways and Byways”  immediately following the lecture.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. 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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Beyond the Book: The Meaning of Midrash
DESCRIPTION:Midrash is sometimes imagined as an unchanging mode of ancient Jewish biblical interpretation—influencing Jewish thought from the later books of the Bible through the Middle Ages. 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).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Understanding diversification through development: case studies of Drosophila reproduction and monarch butterfly migration
DESCRIPTION:Consideration of trait development can advance studies into the genetic basis of phenotypic variation and illuminate mechanisms that promote or constrain biodiversity. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Aponte's Vision: Race\, Revolution\, and World History in an Atlantic Port City\, Havana 1812\"
DESCRIPTION:While most colonial societies of the western hemisphere emerged from the Age of Revolution with independence\, Cuba\, among the oldest of Spanish colonies\, did not. This paper takes us to the Atlantic port city of Havana to explore the history of one would-be revolutionary: José Antonio Aponte. A free black carpenter\, artist\, and military veteran\, Aponte allegedly masterminded an ambitious plot against the colonial state and slavery in Cuba. Among his tools for recruitment to the movement was a book of paintings (made by his own hand) in which he reimagined a history of the world in order to make a radical black and antislavery future.\n\nAda Ferrer is Professor of History at New York University. She is the author of Insurgent Cuba: Race\, Nation\, and Revolution\, 1868-1898 (1999) and Freedom's Mirror: Cuba and Haiti in the Age of Revolution ( 2014) which won the multiple book prizes\, including the Frederick Douglass Prize awarded by the Gilder Lehrman Center at Yale for the best book on slavery\, abolition\, and resistance\, and awards from the American Historical Association in Latin American\, Atlantic\, and African Diaspora History.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Law & Economics: The Impact of Mandating Corporate Social Responsibility: Evidence from India's Companies Act 2013
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nFirms’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity has become the subject of a large literature in recent years. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Problems and Possibilities for International Service Learning
DESCRIPTION:This presentation raises critical concerns about the power asymmetries and politics of knowledge that are embedded within the dominant paradigm of international service-learning in higher education. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:In higher dimensional geometry\, it has been known that from many perspectives a log terminal singularity is a local analogue of Fano varieties (which are varieties with positive first Chern class). 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Bystander Intervention Training
DESCRIPTION:Central Student Government is deeply committed to changing the culture around sexual misconduct and alcohol and other drug misuse on campus. This is why we want to empower Michigan students to receive Bystander Intervention training around these important and challenging issues. We plan to expand opportunities for such training by way of the CSG Student Organization Funding Commission (SOFC)\, which disperses over $400\,000 annually to registered student organizations who submit applications to csg.umich.edu/funding. We have instituted a pilot funding policy\, in which a student organization will only be eligible to claim\, at most\, $1\,000 per semester from SOFC until that group sends at least two of its authorized signers to one Bystander Intervention training facilitated by campus partners. This pilot policy will go in effect at the beginning of next semester\, Winter 2017.

SUMMARY:Performance:Red Tail Ring
DESCRIPTION:Red Tail Ring is the musical brainchild of two old-time-minded Michiganders – Michael Beauchamp and Laurel Premo. 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.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. 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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Life After Grad School Seminar | Ultrasound Tomography Breast Cancer Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Medical imaging is a very important tool that helps diagnose\, mitigate\, and prevent disease. Breast tissue is imaged routinely to locate cancer with the hopes of finding the disease in infancy. X-ray mammography\, a common tool used to diagnose breast cancer\, has problems with the ability to detect lesions in dense breasts. Alternatives\, such as MRI\, are very expensive. Conventional ultrasound techniques mitigate some of the problems of mammography\, but also suffer from their own. To mitigate and improve upon many of these issues of the other imaging modalities\, Delphinus Medical Technologies Inc.\, has developed the SoftVue™ ultrasound imaging system. Ultrasound tomography is capable of producing conventional B-mode ultrasound reflection images as well quantifying acoustic parameters such as sound speed and attenuation. The reconstructed images then can provide radiological information that can find and differentiate benign and malignant breast disease. In order to accomplish the goal of producing a commercial medical device to benefit the patient\, diverse teams ranging from research to marketing must work together. In addition to the science of ultrasound tomography\, the role of researchers in this environment will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on a new periodization scheme for boundary integral methods. The scheme will allow us to quickly and accurately solve the Stokes equations in geometrically complex domains. We will then extend the scheme to handle flows with deformable particles and will focus on several applications to microfluidics. For one such application\, we were able to simulate over 1000 deformable vesicles flowing through a complex geometry\, using a laptop\, in less than one minute per time step. For another\, we were able to discover a new microfluidic chip design that provided faster cell separation. Speaker(s): Gary Marple (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminars | The Future is Stochastic (Probably)
DESCRIPTION:Precision calculations in de Sitter space (such as of inflationary predictions for primordial fluctuations) are often plagued by infrared problems and issues of secular time dependence. Similar issues about the breakdown of perturbation theory seem also to arise for information loss in black holes. This talk briefly summarizes how similar problems can arise in other areas of physics\, and how they are dealt with when they do. It is argued that Master-Equation techniques used in areas like optics also apply to cosmology (and possibly black holes) and can tell us how to extract reliably late-time predictions. Applied to inflation they lead to Starobinsky's stochastic methods (plus small but important corrections). This is argued to provide an explanation for why stochastic inflation seems to resum IR effects in simple examples\, and allows these tools to be generalized to apply more broadly. I mention in passing the relevance of these tools to the problem of Schrodinger's Cosmologist: how primordial fluctuations decohere sometime between their production during inflation and their observation early in the present Big Bang Epoch.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by the work of Knutson\, Lam\, Speyer and Snider\, Bruhat atlases\, introduced by He\, Knutson and Lu are a way of locally modeling a stratification of a manifold on the stratification of Schubert cells by opposite Schubert varieties. He\, Knutson and Lu described Bruhat atlases on many interesting varieties\, including partial flag varieties and on wonderful compactifications of groups. We will discuss some results toward a classification of varieties with Bruhat atlases\, focusing on the 2-dimensional toric case. In this case\, the answer may be stated in terms of the moment polygon of the toric surface\, which one should first slice up\, then put toppings on\, much like one would do while preparing a pizza.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Multi-scale Structures and Thermal Constraints at Earth's Core-mantle Boundary
DESCRIPTION:The large chemical\, density\, and dynamical contrast associated with the juxtaposition of a liquid iron-dominant alloy and an intimate mixture of silicates and oxides at Earth’s core–mantle boundary is associated with a wide range of complex seismological features. Interpretation of these multi-scale features and the dynamic processes that formed them requires\, in part\, knowledge of the thermoelasticity and melting properties of candidate phases. We will present recent nuclear resonant scattering measurements on iron-bearing phases and the application of these results to our understanding of Earth’s core and core-mantle boundary region [1-5]. Specifically\, we will present nuclear resonant scattering and x-ray diffraction measurements to over 100 GPa and temperatures around 4500 K. The nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering method provides specific vibrational information\, e.g.\, the partial projected phonon density of states. The high statistical quality of the data in combination with a small x-ray focus size and in-situ x-ray diffraction permits accurate evaluation of the vibrational-related parameters of iron-bearing materials\, such as the sound velocities\, vibrational entropy and free energy\, Grüneisen parameter\, thermal pressure\, and iron isotope fractionation quantities.  Finally\, we will present constraints on the temperature of the core-mantle boundary using a new method of melt-detection using synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy and a fast temperature readout spectrometer. Our approach is unique because the dynamics of the atoms are monitored prior to melting\, while temperatures are determined accurately and precisely. We will discuss the implications of our results as they relate to the composition and dynamics of various structures near Earth’s core-mantle boundary.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Justice and Tolerance in Islamic Thought: Maududi's Al-Jihad fil Islam
DESCRIPTION:The political thought of the immensely influential Islamist thinker\, founder of the party Jamaat-e-Islami and public intellectual\, Abul Ala Maududi needs engagement not to understand Muslims or Islamists\, but to think through alternative intellectual and political horizons that may be useful more generally\, and not just for Muslims. Focusing on his immensely influential book al-jihad fil Islam\, the paper works through the contradiction between his concern to end persecution with his insistence on levying a tax on non-Muslim citizens of an Islamic state. Using his arguments as a launching pad into a wider discussion of justice and tolerance in Islamic thought\, I argue that Maududi's ideas allow an interesting glimpse into non-liberal forms of tolerance that retain significant unexplored intellectual and political potential.\n\nDr Humeira Iqtidar joined King's College London in 2011.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Screening | Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:Film screening with an introduction and post-film Q&A with director Ryusuke Hamaguchi\, moderated by Markus Nornes (Professor of Asian Cinema) and Kazuhiro Soda (Toyota Professor in Residence\, Filmmaker) \n    \nFree & Open to the Public \n    \nLight refreshments will be served \n    \nHappy Hour ハッピー・アワー \n2015\, 317 minutes (two intermissions) \nDirected by Ryusuke Hamaguchi 監督 濱口竜介 \nPresented in Japanese with English subtitles \n    \nThe Center for Japanese Studies is proud to present a visit by Japan's most important young director and the most important Japanese film of 2015. \n    \n\"Four thirtysomething female friends in the misty seaside city of Kobe navigate the unsteady currents of their work\, domestic\, and romantic lives. They seek solace in one another’s company\, but a sudden revelation creates a rift and rouses each woman to take stock. Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s wise\, precisely observed\, compulsively watchable drama of friendship and midlife awakening runs over five hours\, yet the leisurely duration is not an indulgence but a careful strategy -- to show what other films leave out\, to create a space for everyday moments that is nonetheless charged with possibility\, and to yield an emotional density rarely available to a feature-length movie. Developed through workshops with a cast of mostly newcomers (the extraordinary lead quartet shared the Best Actress award at the Locarno Film Festival)\, and filled with absorbing sequences that flow almost in real time\, Happy Hour has a novelistic depth and texture. But it’s also the kind of immersive\, intensely moving experience that remains unique to cinema” (New Directors/New Films 2016 screening notes).

SUMMARY:Meeting:The Inauguration of Donald Trump: The Political Issues in the Fight Against Inequality\, War\, and Dictatorship
DESCRIPTION:Come hear Jerry White\, SEP 2016 Presidential Candidate\, speak on the fundamental political issues facing the working class in the era of Trump.\n\nThe inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the United States on January 20 marks a significant political turning point. Trump has assembled a cabinet of billionaires\, military generals\, and corporate CEOs dedicated to war\, the destruction of democratic rights and the eradication of whatever remains of the progressive reforms—achieved through decades of mass struggles—that ameliorated conditions of life for the working class.\n\nThe election of Trump has exposed\, in all its disgusting nakedness\, the reality of oligarchic rule in the United States. However\, Trump is not some sort of monstrous interloper in what had been\, until Election Day 2016\, a flawed but essentially decent society. Trump—the product of the criminal and diseased couplings of the real estate\, finance\, gambling and entertainment industries—is the genuine face of the American ruling class.\n\nThe Democratic Party is concentrating its criticism of Trump not on his ultra-right wing agenda\, but on his alleged “softness” toward Russia\, there is a burning necessity for workers and young people to develop a genuine political alternative to the policy of war and social reaction that is being planned.\n\nThis is a public meeting hosted by the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. 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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Performance:Fire\, passion and heroics: U-M Life Sciences Orchestra concert
DESCRIPTION:The weather outside Hill Auditorium may be cold\, but the music inside will be fiery\, passionate and heroic on the evening of Saturday\, Jan. 21. \n\nThat’s when the University of Michigan Life Sciences Orchestra will take the stage for a free 8 p.m. performance of works by Russian composers. The LSO is made up of medical\, health and science faculty\, staff\, students and alumni from across U-M.\n\nThe concert\, led by guest conductor Todd Craven\, is open to the public\, as is a pre-concert lecture at 7 p.m. in the lower level of the Hill Auditorium building. No tickets are required\, though the LSO accepts donations to support its concerts. \n\nThe concert will begin with Mikhail Glinka’s overture to a 19th century opera\, Ruslan and Lyudmila\, about the dramatic rescue of a princess by her true love. Assistant conductor Niklas Tamm will led the LSO for the fast and furious piece. \n\nNext up\, the Firebird suite by Igor Stravinsky\, in its 1919 orchestration\, will capture the excitement of a Russian folk tale turned ballet. Alternately frenzied and poetic\, the piece evokes the appearance of an enchanted red bird who helps a hero defeat a sorcerer and free trapped creatures. \n\nThe program will conclude with Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky’s stirring\, emotional Symphony No. 6 in B minor\, Op. 74. Popularly known as the Pathétique\, a French translation of the Russian word for “passionate” or “emotional”\, the symphony was the composer’s last – premiering just over a week before his death.  \n\nThe LSO’s music director is Roberto Kalb\, a doctoral student in the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance’s nationally known orchestral conducting program. Craven is a graduate\, and Tamm a current master’s student\, in the program\, from which the LSO has drawn its conductors since it began blending science and music in the fall of 2000. \n\nKalb holds the Gilbert S. Omenn\, M.D. Music Director position with the LSO\, made possible by a gift from its namesake\, the first U-M executive vice president for medical affairs and a longtime supporter of the LSO.\n\nThe orchestra is part of the Gifts of Art program\, which brings the world of art and music to the U-M Health System. The LSO gives members an outlet for their musical talents and a chance to interact with one another across academic disciplines and professions. Founded by students and staff from the U-M Health System\, the orchestra made its concert debut in January 2001. \n\nFor more information on the concert or the LSO\, visit http://lso.med.umich.edu/  or www.facebook.com/umlso\, send e-mail to orchestra@umich.edu\, or call (734) 936-ARTS. The LSO will also perform on Thursday\, April 20 at Hill.
