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

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

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012382@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170104T152959 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:mmmmmm writing DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Sweetland Peer Writing Center on Thursday\, January 19th any time between 9:30am and noon for free coffee and donuts. \n\nCheck out Writing Center and find out how we can help you with your essays\, research papers\, and other writing projects in the coming year.\n\nPeer Writing Center - Angell Hall G219 UID:37271-6483091@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37271 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Food,Free,Undergraduate,Writing LOCATION:Angell Hall - G219 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161202T140212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170119T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AUTOMATED AND CONNECTED VEHICLES: HISTORY\, DEVELOPMENT\, M-CITY\, AND THE FUTURE DESCRIPTION:Dr. Peng is the Roger L.

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

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

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

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

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

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).

This week I will present the proof of Van Handel's nearly sharp improvement of Latala's inequality. Latala's inequality yields a dimension-free bound on the spectral norm of Gaussian matrices with independent entries (but not necessarily i.i.d.\, the entries can have arbitrary variance pattern). Van Handel's stronger version of the inequality is also optimal for many structured matrices.

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

This paper 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. She is currently completing a popular history of Cuba for Scribner. \n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012384@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170407T141632 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170121T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170121T180000 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.

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

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

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

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

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

The 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.

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

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012385@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161006T114729 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170122T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170122T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

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

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

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

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. 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.

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.

It’s been a process of letting go and leaving behind patterns and relationships and in some cases how I’ve considered myself. What these songs are documenting is the turmoil you feel when you know something has to change and you’re grappling with what that means.

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.

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012386@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161221T161959 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170123T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170123T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Mah-Jongg DESCRIPTION:Mah-Jongg is a Chinese game resembling Gin Rummy\, but played with colorful tiles instead of cards. \n\nEasy to learn\, it can become quite addictive!

Understanding adolescents’ thoughts and opinions is challenging\, yet vital if we hope to create programs and policies that promote their health and wellbeing. \n\nDr. Chang is a health services researcher and practicing family physician with a passion for adolescent health\, specifically\, breaking the cycle of poverty and poor health among adolescent mothers and their children. Her research is focused on improving access to reproductive health care and promoting healthy pregnancy weight gain among at-risk adolescents using text messaging\, social media\, and other emerging technology.\n\nEmergent Research events are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus\, particularly as they relate to library services and support\, opportunities for collaboration\, data management and preservation\, and beyond.

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.

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

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

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

Dr. Salguero’s talk will place the contemporary focus on the health benefits of mindfulness within the history of Buddhist engagements with medicine\, with special focus on China. He will outline the many rich and complex approaches to healing that have been (and still are) used in Chinese Buddhist communities\, and will suggest directions for further historical and clinical research beyond mindfulness.\n\nDr. Salguero is an interdisciplinary humanities scholar interested in the role of Buddhism in the crosscultural exchange of medical ideas. He has a Ph.D. in History of Medicine from Johns Hopkins University’s School of Medicine\, and teaches Asian history\, religion\, and culture at Penn State University’s Abington College\, located near Philadelphia. The major theme in his scholarship is the interplay between the global transmission and local reception of Buddhist knowledge about health\, disease\, and the body.

Then I will focus on a moduli space of metric graphs and discuss two pressure metrics on it. These two pressure metrics could be thought of as analogues of Weil Petersson metrics (or Thurston's Riemannian metrics) for spaces of metric graphs. In particular\, I will discuss and compare Riemannian geometric features of these two metrics with the \"classic\" Weil-Petersson metric in Teichmueller theory. This work is motivated by an earlier work of Pollicott and Sharp.

The presence of neutrino self-interaction is the cause of interesting non-linear evolution of neutrino flavor. This offers a unique probe for neutrino properties. Collective neutrino oscillations are also essential for understanding some aspects of the physics of supernovae. Due to the non-linear nature of the equations of motion\, there are challenges involved in the computation of flavor evolution even in the simplest case. I will discuss the physics impact of supernova neutrinos\, the challenges involved\, and what the future holds for the study of supernova neutrinos.

As the system is non-dispersive\, long time limits do not reveal any particular simplification of the dynamics\, but the semiclassical limit allows for the practical calculation of the interaction process. I will describe the construction of an appropriate semiclassical soliton ensemble and show how such ensembles can be used to understand the behavior of resonant triads in a wide variety of systems.

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

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

She created this body of work to increase awareness and emphasize cardiac health for American Indian women by informing\, supporting\, and encouraging self-care and the value of changing life ways. Shawls are symbols of womanhood and are of significance to many American Indian tribal cultures. Now-a-day traditional female dancers complete their regalia by carrying the shawl over their left arm which is closest to the heart\, and the fringe sways to the heartbeat rhythm of the drum.

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012387@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170124T120103 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170124T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170124T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Fundraiser for Camp Discovery!

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

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

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

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

His work echoes reality: issues like real-estate development\, massive consumption\, education failure\, migration as well as globalization. What differs from reality in his work are the condensation of problems in which you find out all kinds of conflicts\, contradictions\, and contortions that are narrated in a very humorous manner. \n \nSince turning from painting to photography in the late 1990s\, Beijing based artist Wang Qingsong has created compelling works that convey an ironic vision of 21st-century China’s encounter with global consumer culture. Working in the manner of a motion-picture director\, he conceives elaborate scenarios involving dozens of models that are staged in film studio sets. The resulting color photographs\, such as “Night Revels of Lao Li”\, and “Can I Cooperate with You?”\, employ knowing references to classic Chinese artworks to throw an unexpected light on today’s China\, emphasizing its new material wealth\, its uninhabited embrace of commercial values\, and the social tensions arising from the massive influx of migrant workers to its cities in “Sentry Post”\, Dormitory” and “Dream of Migrants”. Lately he has continued to explore new media\, video works and film-making in his new venture. \n \nOver the last twenty years of working for the Chinese contemporary art\, Zhang Fang has been an eyewitness and documenting writer. She has published quite extensively in foreign and Chinese journals introducing the China syndrome which are compounded by multi-faced social\, political\, economic and cultural diaspora. Now a visiting scholar at the U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center of Chinese Studies\, she has been preparing for an art exhibition and symposium to be premiered in the new gallery space of Stamps School of Art and Design besides giving a seminar course introducing students a perspective into the latest Chinese social and cultural transformations.\n\nRobert Adanto is a Los Angeles native currently based in Miami. A classically-trained actor and documentary filmmaker\, he earned his M.F.A. in Acting from New York University’s Graduate Acting Program and is currently playing Shylock in Shakespeare Miami’s production of \"The Merchant of Venice.\" As a filmmaker\, he is interested in exploring how artists respond to rapid\, sometimes catastrophic change. His documentaries have looked at China’s explosive contemporary art scene (\"The Rising Tide\" 2008)\, the lives and works of Iranian female artists (\"Pearls on the Ocean Floor\" 2010)\, the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the lives of New Orleans-based artists (\"City of Memory\" 2014)\, and radical \"4th wave\" feminist performance in Brooklyn (\"The F Word\" 2015). He is currently working on “Born Just Now\,” a film looking at the Belgrade-based performance artist\, Marta Jovanović.

Building Indios: A Genealogy of Landscape and Political Subjectivity in Peru's Zaña Valley\, 12th-18th Centuries C.E. DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, I explore the legacies of the Spanish forced resettlement of indigenous peoples in colonial Peru (reducción). Drawing on archaeological research at the site of Carrizales in Peru's Zaña valley\, I begin by examining the immediate impacts of resettlement on indigenous lifeways. I demonstrate that native peoples rapidly and drastically transformed their food-collection and preparation strategies in the wake of resettlement\, sedimenting new relationships with the landscape and with imperial institutions. I then draw on regional archaeological survey and archival research to examine the long-term consequences of reducción in the 17th and 18th centuries\, focusing in particular on the unanticipated consequences of environmental and social change. Based on these results\, I ultimately suggest that a genealogical approach to landscape – one that traces the winding path of engagement between peoples\, environments and political institutions – offers a much richer account of imperial politics than one that focuses only on brief\, violent flashes of political encounters.\" \n \nParker VanValkenburgh is assistant professor of anthropology at Brown University. He is an archaeologist whose research focuses on landscapes\, politics and environmental change in the Early Modern World – particularly\, in late prehispanic and early colonial Peru. He received his Ph.D. in 2012 from Harvard University and previously held positions at the University of Vermont and Washington University in St. Louis. Since 2008\, he has directed a research project investigating the impacts of Spanish colonial forced resettlement (reducción) on landscapes.

The Greeks had an answer\, but then the 19th century showed that they didn't have all of them. In this talk we explore a more modern answer to this question---a (G\, X)-structure---describe the geometries that arise in 2 and 3 dimensions from this perspective\, and show how projective geometry can encompass all of these. In particular\, there are paths of projective geometries which exhibit transitions from one geometry to another: we will attempt to explain these geometric transitions.

Caesium fountains NIST-F1 and NIST-F2 are employed as national primary frequency standards operating with fractional uncertainties in low 10^-16 range. NIST-F2 is a second-generation standard developed with a cryogenic microwave cavity and flight region. The 80 K atom interrogation environment reduces the uncertainty due to the blackbody radiation shift by more than a factor of 50. \n\nThe second part of this talk will introduce our current efforts in developing laser-cooled atomic clocks for the next generation of GPS satellites. The current generation of atomic clocks used in GPS satellites is based on lamp-excited Rb vapor-cell clock techniques that date back 50 years and while the performance is impressive\, it is unlikely to be further improved by incremental advances on the already very mature technology. Because the uncertainties of onboard clocks are significant contributors to the overall GPS error budget\, there is interest in developing a new generation of robust\, small\, reliable\, and accurate laser-cooled microwave atomic clocks for future generations of the GPS system.

Recent projects — a book and an article — have however taken him into precolonial topics and periods. Although he teaches survey and topical classes on all regions of Africa (and on all periods)\, his research interest lies in Nigeria. He is the author of three books. His first book is Colonial Meltdown: Northern Nigerian in the Great Depression\, (Ohio University Press\, 2009). His second book is Colonialism by Proxy: Hausa Imperial Agents and Middle Belt Consciousness in Nigeria\, (Indiana University Press\, 2014). His third book\, Africa in Fragments: Essays on Nigeria\, Africa\, and Global Africanity (New York: Diasporic Africa Press\, 2014)\, is a collection of analytical essays on a variety of topics relating to Nigeria\, Africa\, and global African communities. Topics covered in the essays include Afro-Arab relations\; corruption and poverty\; the impact of foreign aid on Africa\; post-colonial nation building\; the structure of the Nigerian state\; the debate on African participation and possible complicity in the Atlantic slave trade\; the challenges of democracy in Africa\; postcolonial African migration to the West\; relations between African Africans and African immigrants in the United States\; African Islam and Islamic extremism\, and more. Ochonu has published over a dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals as well as several chapters in edited volumes. He is working on a fourth book project tentatively entitled \"The Roving Diaspora: Nigerian Muslim Perspectives on Imperial Britain.\" With support in the form of a grant from the Vanderbilt Research Scholars Fellowship\, Dr. Ochonu has been gathering materials for this project\, which analyzes the travel narratives of Northern Nigerian Muslim travelers to Britain in colonial and early postcolonial times. These texts provide us with a tool to understand how African colonial subjects returned the familiar European narrative gaze on Africa. They also provide an entry into scholarly conversations about African narratives in/on Europe and about representations of the metropole in the experiential discourses of colonized peoples. Ochonu was twice the recipient of major fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS). His research has also been supported by awards and fellowships from the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation\, the Ford Foundation\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, the American Historical Association\, Franklin Roosevelt Institute\, and the British Library. His op-eds and commentaries on African topics have appeared in TIME magazine\, Chronicle Review/ The Chronicle of Higher Education\, Tennessean.com\, History News Network\, GlobalPost\, Pambazuka\, and several African newspapers and magazines.\n\nSpecializations\n\nModern Sub-Saharan Africa\; colonialism\; postcolonial developments\; political economy\; African social and economic history UID:37349-6508678@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37349 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,History LOCATION:Haven Hall - 4701 (DAAS Conference Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161206T135154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170124T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170124T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Hidden Figures: The Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race DESCRIPTION:College of Engineering\, Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)\, Center for Engineering Diversity & Outreach (CEDO)\, and the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) present: Margot Lee Shetterly\n\nAudiences of all backgrounds will be captivated by the phenomenal true story of the black “human computers” who used math to change their own lives—and their country’s future. Set against the rich backdrop of World War II\, the Space Race\, the Civil Rights Era\, and the burgeoning fight for gender equality\, this talk brings to life the stories of Dorothy Vaughan\, Mary Jackson\, Katherine Johnson\, and Christine Darden\, who worked as mathematicians at NASA during the golden age of space travel. Teaching math at segregated schools in the South\, they were called into service during the WWII labor shortages. Suddenly\, these overlooked math whizzes had jobs worthy of their skills at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory\, in Hampton\, Virginia. Even as Jim Crow laws segregated them from their white counterparts\, the women of this all-black “West Computing” group helped America achieve a decisive victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War. They were part of a group of hundreds of black and white women who\, over the decades\, contributed to some of NASA’s greatest successes.\n\nIn this keynote\, Margot Lee Shetterly talks about race\, gender\, science\, the history of technology\, and much else. She shows us the surprising ways that women and people of color have contributed to American innovation while pursuing the American Dream. In sweeping\, dramatic detail\, she sheds light on a forgotten but key chapter in our history\, and instills in us a sense of wonder\, and possibility.\n\n4:00 pm: Keynote with Q&A – Rackham Auditorium\n6:30 pm: Fireside Chat – Stamps Auditorium (North Campus)\n7:15 pm: Reception & Book Signing – Stamps Auditorium (North Campus)\n\nIs RSVP required?

Over the course of these decades\, Detroit became an industrial metropolis\, and U-M emerged as one of the nation's leading research universities. This panel will address the political\, economic\, and cultural dimensions of these overlapping histories.\n\nChristopher Newfield (University of California\, Santa Barbara)\, author of Ivy and Industry\, will discuss the university's contribution to managerial culture\, the democratizing potential of public universities\, and the ways in which Emersonian individualism limited this potential. Stefan Link (Dartmouth College) and Noam Maggor (Cornell University)\, co-authors of a forthcoming book on industrialization in the U.S.\, will examine the unique place of the American Midwest\, particularly Detroit\, within national and global patterns of economic development. Anthony Ross (University of Michigan) will survey the relationship between the university and Detroit's industrial elite\, situating the Michigan experience within broader histories of education and industrialization.\n\nStefan Link is an Assistant Professor of History at Dartmouth College. He specializes in economic history\, business history\, and the intellectual history of capitalism. He is currently working on a book manuscript on the global spread of Fordism in the interwar years. Other research projects concern the political history of the early American automobile industry\, the transformation of the world economic order in the 1930s\, and comparative perspectives on American economic development since the Civil War. Link earned his Ph.D. from Harvard and has been a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence\, Italy.\n\nNoam Maggor is a historian of the United States in the long nineteenth century\, with a particular emphasis on the emergence of industrial capitalism. His book\, Brahmin Capitalism: Frontiers of Wealth and Populism in America's First Gilded Age tracks the movement of finance capital from Boston toward far-flung investment frontiers in the trans-Mississippi West in the aftermath of the Civil War. Maggor is currently a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of History at Cornell University\, where he teaches courses on the history of capitalism and the history of globalization.\n\nChristopher Newfield is a professor of literature and American studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Much of his research is in Critical University Studies\, which links his enduring concern with humanities teaching to the study of how higher education continues to be re-shaped by industry and other economic forces. His new book\, called The Great Mistake: How We Wrecked Public Universities and How We Can Fix Them\, was published in November 2016 and assesses the post-2008 struggles of public universities to rebuild their social missions. \n\nAnthony Ross received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Michigan in 2015. He is currently a Research Associate at the University of Michigan. \n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

Jews have been involved\, far out of proportion to their number\, in all facets of photography in the UK\, including photojournalism\, portrait studios\, collecting\, applications of photography to the fine arts\, and the emergence of photography criticism and history as distinct fields. Despite Jews having played such remarkable roles in this overwhelming area of visual culture\, little attention has been paid to ethnic-religious difference\, in part due to photography's problematic and evolving relationship to what was deemed 'respectable' and proper 'art.' To be sure\, Britain expressed tolerance and foresight in (almost always) allowing Jewish photographers to flourish\, providing refuge to the Warburg Institute\, and welcoming individuals fleeing Nazism such as Helmut Gernsheim and Stefan Lorant. Yet as a nation it squandered the opportunity—especially that afforded by the offer of Helmut Gernsheim's astounding collection—to provide a permanent institutional home for a serious engagement with photography.\n\nBerkowitz also will discuss what he has learned about the subject since the book's publication—including revelations about his own mishpokhe in British photography\, and connections between Jews and other minority communities.\n\nImage courtesy of Yablon Collection\, Jewish Historical Society of England\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

These Hamiltonians are the classical Schroedinger operators of quantum mechanics. For the three dimensional case we will discuss a new representation of the wave operators as superpositions of reflections and translations. This is joint work with Marius Beceanu\, Albany.

Because the female body continues to be politicized and policed\, and because these artists delve into the fecund territory of female sexuality\, self- objectification\, and the female form as a site of resistance\, many remain marginalized by the mainstream art world. Brooklyn-based Leah Schrager\, well known for her performance practice\, Naked Therapy\, states\, \"As soon as you introduce a bit of sexiness or sexuality into an artwork it suddenly becomes questionable.\n\nJust because something elicits arousal or shows elements of sexiness does absolutely not make it not art.\" While some 4th wave artists\, like Ann Hirsch and Kate Durbin\, choose to analyze representations of female identity through digital media\, others\, like the radical\, queer\, transnational feminist art collective\, Go! Push Pops\, explore sexuality and gender in pop culture in the digital age. As feminist lecturer Kristen Sollee explains\, 4th wavers\, unlike their predecessors\, \"are not afraid to be 'girly'\, (or) to be hyper-feminine\, or to wear a mini-skirt\, to self-objectify\" in the service of challenging patriarchal oppression or sexist ideals.\n\nFeatured artists: Narcissister\, Ann Hirsch\, Go! Push Pops\, Leah Schrager\, Kate Durbin\, Rebecca Goyette\, Rachel Mason\, Rafia Santana\, Damali Abrams\, Faith Holland\, Claudia Bitran\, Michelle Charles\, and Sadaf. In addition\, the film features Dr. Kathy Battista\, Director of Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art\, New York and author of Re-negotiating the Body: Feminist Artists in 1970s London (IB Tauris\, 2012)\, as an on-screen expert\, as is noted art critic and curator\, Nancy Princenthal.\n\nRobert Adanto is a Los Angeles native currently based in Miami. A classically-trained actor and documentary filmmaker\, he earned his M.F.A. in Acting from New York University’s Graduate Acting Program and is currently playing Shylock in Shakespeare Miami’s production of The Merchant of Venice. As a filmmaker\, he is interested in exploring how artists respond to rapid\, sometimes catastrophic change. His documentaries have looked at China’s explosive contemporary art scene (The Rising Tide 2008)\, the lives and works of Iranian female artists (Pearls on the Ocean Floor 2010)\, the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the lives of New Orleans-based artists (City of Memory 2014)\, and radical \"4th wave\" feminist performance in Brooklyn (The F Word 2015). He is currently working on Born Just Now\, a film looking at the Belgrade-based performance artist\, Marta Jovanović. His films have screened at over 40 international film festivals and have been presented at various museums around the world.

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

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

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012388@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161221T163209 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Homer’s Odyssey DESCRIPTION:This study group will do a close reading and discussion of Homer’s Odyssey (Robert Fagles’ translation\, Penguin Classics).

In order to understand biogeochemical cycling in its mean state and as it changes\, we must quantify the role of physical variability in space and time. Here\, three carbon cycle examples will be presented. In Lake Superior\, analysis of a coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model (MITgcm.Superior) shows that physical gradients cause large variation in rates of both production (P) and respiration (R) between nearshore and offshore waters. Accounting for this variability helps to bring the lake-wide carbon budget into balance (Bennington et al. 2012\, JGR). In the model\, fluxes of organic carbon from nearshore lead to elevated R:P ratios in the slope region\, which could support the observed enhanced heterotrophic biomass on the slope (McKinley and Bennington\, in prep). Lastly\, in all the Great Lakes\, I demonstrate that increasing atmospheric CO2 should lead to a reduction of pH by ~0.3 units by 2100\, quantitatively the same as projections for “ocean acidification” in the global oceans. In the Great Lakes\, the existing carbon cycle observational system is insufficient to track such changes (Phillips et al. 2015).\n\nBio: Professor McKinley studies the mechanisms of the carbon cycle in the global oceans and Great Lakes\, with her research lying at the intersection of physical and chemical oceanography. Her primary tools are numerical models and analysis of large datasets. More specifically\, her research addresses the physical drivers of ecosystem and carbon cycle variability in the North Atlantic\, global oceans and Great Lakes. Professor McKinley teaches oceanography and climate science in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at University of Wisconsin – Madison. She is also very active in service to the national and international scientific and policy-making communities.\n_____________________________________________________\nQuestions?

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

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

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

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

Jewish Voices in Russia and Ukraine: What Are They Saying? DESCRIPTION:The overwhelming majority of Russian-speaking Jews today live outside the Russian Federation. Many of them\, particularly the older generation\, preserve their loyalty to and interest in Russian culture\, but their newly formed national identities and political sympathies can be very fluid and sometimes conflicting. The speaker will present a survey of contemporary Russian-Jewish writing across the borders\, focusing on the variety of representations of Russia and Ukraine as specifically “Jewish” spaces. What does it mean to write fiction in Russian about Ukraine from a Jewish perspective\, and what does this writing tell us about today's Russia\, Ukraine\, and Jews? Some of the authors in the discussion\, such as Ludmila Ulitskaya and Dmitry Bykov\, are already well-known in the West\, while others\, such as Margarita Khemlin\, Inna Lesovaya\, Asar Eppel\, Oleg Yuryev\, Maria Galina\, still await a due recognition. \n \nMikhail Krutikov is professor of Slavic and Judaic studies\, currently serving as chair of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan. He graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in mathematics\, has a graduate diploma in Yiddish literature from Gorky Institute for Literature in Moscow\, and a Ph.D. in Jewish literature from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. A scholar of Yiddish literature and East European Jewish culture\, he has published two books\, \"Yiddish Fiction and the Crisis of Modernity\, 1905­-1914\" (Stanford UP\, 2001) and \"From Kabbalah to Class Struggle: Expressionism\, Marxism and Yiddish Literature in the Life and Work of Meir Wiener\" (Stanford UP\, 2011)\, which won the MLA Fenia and Yaakov Leviant Memorial Prize in Yiddish Literature. He also co-­edited nine collected volumes in the Yiddish Studies series of Legenda Press (Oxford)\, most recently \"Children and Yiddish Literature: From Early Modernity to Post­-Modernity\" (2016). He is also a culture columnist for the Yiddish Forward.\n\nPart of the Minorities series at the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia\, which focuses on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities. How do different political regimes come to define groups as minorities\, and how do they engage with them as a result? What can the experience of minorities in the other parts of the world teach us?

These conversations have become a rhetorical contest\, one where opposing sides try to achieve victory through playing on fear\, distrust\, and intolerance. At its heart\, this split no longer concerns carbon dioxide\, greenhouse gases\, or climate modeling\; rather\, it is the product of contrasting\, deeply entrenched worldviews. This brief examines what causes people to reject or accept the scientific consensus on climate change. Synthesizing evidence from sociology\, psychology\, and political science\, Andrew J. Hoffman lays bare the opposing cultural lenses through which science is interpreted. He then extracts lessons from major cultural shifts in the past to engender a better understanding of the problem and motivate the public to take action. How Culture Shapes the Climate Change Debate makes a powerful case for a more scientifically literate public\, a more socially engaged scientific community\, and a more thoughtful mode of public discourse.

In this talk\, we will first explain the differences between these two theories\, both in terms of motivation and modeling. Then\, we will see how a dynamic programming principle can be proven for mean field type control problems. To do so\, starting from a stochastic formulation we rewrite such problems as the optimal control of a McKean-Vlasov equation. We can also clarify a link with the calculus of variations for these problems. Last\, a fixed point algorithm will be presented together with numerical results. This is joint work with Olivier Pironneau.

This tributary system construct has most recently re-emerged in international relations scholarship (IR) as a consideration and occasional anxiety associated with the so-called “rise of China.” This lecture traces the origins of the reanimated tributary system model in twenty-first century IR to Anglophone commentaries on Qing-Joseon tribute that emerged at the turn of the twentieth century in the wake of the Qing condolence mission to Joseon on the event of the death of Queen Dowager Jo in 1890. While this recent embrace of the tributary system model in IR circles comes to us swathed as a critical intervention in a larger movement to bring theoretical plurality to a field dominated by the occidentalist norms of Westphalian practice\, it is in actuality a return to orientalist form. It is an elision of historical ontology\, an erasure of the politics of knowledge at the very foundations of Anglophone literatures of tribute. It is\, in short\, a return to a late-Victorian knowledge of East Asian interstate practice.\n\nJoshua Van Lieu is a historian of early modern and modern East Asian politics\, thought\, and critical international relations. He received his doctoral degree from the University of Washington in the histories of Joseon Korea and Late Imperial China. Van Lieu has served as assistant editor and book review editor for The Journal of Korean Studies and has published on nineteenth-century Qing-Joseon tribute politics\, the historiography of reform movements in late Joseon Korea\, the roles of state Guanti cults in Ming\, Qing\, and Joseon narratives of state legitimacy\, and on critical approaches to historical international relations. His current projects include a paper on the transnational politics of translation in late nineteenth-century Korea and China and monographs on pre-colonial historiographies of Joseon factionalism and on the transformation of Qing-Joseon tributary practice in the context of the global modern of the long nineteenth century.\n\nPlease note that in the text above Korean words are written following the Revised Romanization system.

This subcategory was studied recently in the work of Kuznetsov and Addington-Thomas\, among others. In this talk\, I will present joint work in progress with Bayer\, Lahoz\, Stellari and with Lahoz\, Nuer\, Perry\, on how to construct Bridgeland stability conditions on this subcategory. This proves a conjecture by Huybrechts\, and it allows to start developing the moduli theory of semistable objects in these categories\, in an analogue way as for the classical Mukai theory for (commutative) K3 surfaces. I will also discuss a few applications of this result.\n Speaker(s): Emanuele Macri (Northeastern University) UID:37346-6508673@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 4096 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170209T123024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Career Competencies and Handshake Clinic DESCRIPTION:This program is for graduate students in the department of statistics.

In 2013\, he became the first photographer to be awarded the National Humanities Medal. He is author of numerous books\, including Silent Cities: The Evolution of the American Cemetery\; Twin Towers Remembered\; and Harlem: The Unmaking of a Ghetto. Over the past 25 years\, award-winning ethnographer and photographer Camilo José Vergara has traveled annually to Detroit to document not only the city’s precipitous decline but also how its residents have survived. From the 1970s through the 1990s\, changes in Detroit were almost all for the worse\, as the built fabric of the city was erased through neglect and abandonment. But over the last decade Detroit has seen the beginnings of a positive transformation\, and the photography in Detroit Is No Dry Bones provides unique documentation of the revival and its urbanistic possibilities. Beyond the fate of the city’s buildings themselves\, Vergara’s camera has consistently sought to capture the lives of Detroit’s people. Not only has he shown the impact of depopulation\, disinvestment\, and abandonment during the worst years of the urban crisis\, but he has also shown Detroiters’ resilience. The photographs in this book are organized in part around the way people have re-used and re-purposed structures from the past. One highlight is his documentation of local churches that have re-occupied old bank buildings and other impressive structures from the past and turned them into something unexpectedly powerful\, architecturally as well as spiritually.​ UID:37668-6654999@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Literature LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170403T094320 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170125T203000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Environmental Justice Learning Circles DESCRIPTION:The last Environmental Justice Learning Circle will focus on technology access and environmental justice.
