SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SAFETY OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES:  TECHNOLOGY AND POLICY
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Edwin Olson is Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at U-M and Co-Director for Autonomous Driving Development at Toyota Research Institute.  He received his Ph.D. from MIT in 2008 for work in robotic mapping. At U-M\, he directs the APRIL Robotics Laboratory. At U-M’s Transportation Research Institute (TRI)\, he helps lead the creation of next-generation autonomous cars and safety systems.         \n\nWhile 35\,000 people died last year in the United States as a result of 
automobile accidents\, it is not the case that humans are bad drivers. Humans are 
astonishingly good drivers\, and we set a high bar for an autonomous alternative. In this talk\, Dr. Olson describes some of the challenges—why is driving so difficult for computers? How do we successfully marry autonomous technology to its human users? How do we know when an autonomous car is safe enough? \n\nThis is the fourth of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Transportation: Don’t Turn in Your Car Keys Yet!

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: James Crowe\, M.D.\, Vanderbilt University Medical School
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe human adaptive immune system is perhaps the most resilient emergent network of any of the complex self-organizing systems described to date. Despite the impressive capacity of microbial threats to cause infections or even pandemics\, with ever increasing numbers of pathogens\, the diversity of possible molecular recognition elements in the human immune system to recognize and defeat microbes exceeds that of the diversity of the pathogens. In this talk\, we will explore the enormous genetic and structural diversity of the antibody repertoire in man. We will explore various ways in which human antibodies recognize viral pathogens and inhibit virus replication and disease. Careful study of the structure and function of particular antibodies reveals general principles underlying intermolecular interactions that likely operate in most complex biomolecular systems.\n\nSpeaker:\nDr. Crowe is Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases)\, Pathology\, Microbiology and Immunology\, Ann Scott Carell Chair\, and Director of the Vanderbilt Vaccine Center. His laboratory studies the molecular\, genetic\, and structural basis of human immune responses to virus infection or vaccination. He has studied antibody-mediated immunity to a wide variety of viral pediatric pathogens\, including RSV\, MPV\, influenza\, rotavirus and norovirus\, and also agents of bioterror and emerging infectious diseases\, including chikungunya virus\, dengue viruses\, Ebola and Marburg viruses\, Zika virus and others. His group is working to develop new methods in computational immunology for rational design of vaccines and antibodies. He is the Director of the Human Immunome Project\, an ambitious effort to identify the sequence of all transcripts for adaptive immune receptors on the planet. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and has been the recipient of a number of major investigator awards for research\, including the Samuel Rosenthal Foundation Prize in Academic Pediatrics\, the E. Mead Johnson Award for Excellence in Pediatrics\, the Norman J. Siegel Award of the American Pediatric Society\, the Judson Daland Prize of the American Philosophical Society\, the Oswald Avery Award of the IDSA\, the Outstanding Investigator Award of the American Federation for Medical Research and others. He is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, the American Society for Clinical Investigation\, the Association of American Physicians\, the Infectious Diseases Society of America\, the American Pediatric Society\, and others.\n\nLunch provided.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Kamikaze Truckers: The Desperation and Excitement of Professional Drivers ahead of the Tokyo Olympics
DESCRIPTION:In many Japanese urban neighborhoods\, the road has been a space shared by cars\, bicycles\, pedestrians\, and kids at play. Traffic accidents and fatalities increased dramatically through the 1960s\, the start of the era of mass automobility in Japan\, when personal automobiles became affordable for the first time for the middle class. In this paper\, I suggest that it was not just the increase in motor vehicles that was to blame for the increase in traffic fatalities. In looking at the era of high-speed growth\, it is worth considering the particular threat that professional drivers posed to the shared space of the road. This paper uses the analytic of games and play to examine how “reckless” driving was incentivized ahead of the Tokyo Olympics\, and how it came to be critiqued. \n    \nJoshua Hotaka Roth is Professor of Anthropology at Mount Holyoke College. His publications include Brokered Homeland: Japanese Brazilian Migrants in Japan (Cornell Univ. Press)\, “Mean Spirited Sport: Japanese Brazilian Croquet in São Paulo’s Public Spaces” (Anthropological Quarterly)\, and “Heartfelt Driving: Discourses on Manners\, Safety\, and Emotion\,” (Journal of Asian Studies).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:These two talks will be suggestive of what my thesis defense will be like\, \nwhenever that is. Similar to Eloisa's talk\, the first talk will give a selective review of the (linear) containment problem for symbolic powers of ideals in equicharacteristic rings\, with a view towards Harbourne's conjecture in the geometric setting and two published results in the non-regular setting. I'll then summarize key results of my thesis in user-friendly forms\, along with a recent improvement for tensor products of finitely-generated domains over algebraically closed fields\, based on talking with Mel and Karen in the fall. The second talk will sketch select ideas going into this general \"multinomial\" containment result\, along with suggesting initial applications for \"tensor power\" domains. \n\nI expect to give at least one \"comical\" example of using these results in tandem\, possibly involving the perfect number 28.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar
DESCRIPTION:We will continue our discussion on Marcus-Spielman-Srivastava's interlacing polynomial method. This time we will focus on their result on existence of an infinite family of Ramanujan graphs of any degree. A Ramanujan graph is a d-regular graph with its adjacency matrix has all non-trivial eigenvalues lie in between -2\sqrt{d-1} and 2\sqrt{d-1}. Their main result is the following: For any Ramanujan graph G\, there exists a 2-lift of G which is also a Ramanujan graph. In particular\, since the properties of bipartite and (c\,d)-biregular of a graph automatically pass to its 2-lifts\, the result also extends to infinite family of bipartite Ramanujan graphs of degree d and (c\,d)-regular bipartite Ramanujan graphs. \n\nSimilar to their proof of Kadison-Singer problem we dicussed in last semester\, their proof is the following:\n1. The expected characteristic polynomial of the signing adjacency matrix correspond to a random 2-lift of G has its eigenvalue nicely bounded. \n2. Using interlacing polynomial method\, there exists one 2-lift of G such that roots of its characteristic polynomial of the signing adjacency matrix has the same bound for the expected characteristic polynomial. \n Speaker(s): Han Huang (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:An Up-Close Look at Arab and Muslim Americans
DESCRIPTION:American Muslims and Arab Americans are often projected negatively in mainstream media. Newspapers use key words such as extremists\, terrorists and fanatics to describe Arabs. \n\nThe present day Arab stereotype parallels the image of Jews in pre-Nazi Germany\, where Jews were painted as dark\, shifty-eyed\, venal and threateningly different people. These representations of Arab and Muslim Americans have creat¬ed a general mistrust and dislike among Americans. \n\nWho are Muslim and Arab-Americans? Why are they portrayed negatively? Who benefits from these phenomena? This class will help answer these and many other questions.\n\nInstructor Adnan Salhi will lead this study group for those 50 and over for 90 minutes on the last Thursday of January\, February\, April and May.

Using model marine particles composed of a variety of biopolymers commonly found in the ocean\, I will show how microbial interactions such as cross-feeding and social cheating control community dynamics\, leading to rapid successions on particles\, while decreasing the metabolic rate of the system by slowing down or even blocking the particle degradation process. Particle degradation slow-down occurs because of competition for space between primary degraders and cheaters or cross-feeders\, which act as parasites. The results indicate that the rates of carbon cycling in the environment can be under direct control of community ecology processes that unfold at micro-scales. Finally\, I will also discuss how communities that self-assemble on particles made of different substrates converge to a set of species that display ‘universal’ dynamics\, which are independent of the substrate and instead driven by the ecological wiring of the community.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Distinguished Professorship Lecture| Organic Light Emitting Devices (OLEDs): The Coming Revolution in Displays and Lighting
DESCRIPTION:\"Flexible\, lightweight and economical with energy: organic light emitting diodes are making it out of the lab and into the marketplace\, and Professor Stephen Forrest has been a major driver of that progress.\n\nAlready showing up in smartphones and high-end monitors and televisions\, OLEDs are poised to replace liquid crystal displays and improve the efficiency of lighting. But there are still problems to be solved before these applications are practical.\n\nProfessor Forrest will speak on this topic during his Distinguished University Professor lecture\, set for 4 p.m. Thursday in the Rackham Graduate School Amphitheatre\, with a reception following from 5-6 p.m. in the Assembly Hall. Distinguished University Professorships are the highest professorial title granted at U-M.\"  \n\nThis excerpt regarding Professor Forrest's upcoming lecture are from an article written by Kate McAlpine.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology
DESCRIPTION:There has been a recent surge in studying surfaces of infinite type\, i.e. surfaces with infinitely-generated fundamental groups.  In this talk\, we will focus on their mapping class groups\, often called big mapping class groups. In contrast to the finite-type case\, there are many open questions regarding the basic algebraic and topological properties of big mapping class groups. I will discuss several such questions and provide some answers.  In particular\, I will focus on automorphisms of pure mapping class groups and topological generating sets. This work is joint with Priyam Patel. Speaker(s): Nicholas Vlamis (UM)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WINTER 2017 COMMUNICATION & MEDIA SPEAKER SERIES Perceived Realism\, Narrative Persuasion\, and the Beholder’s Eye
DESCRIPTION:Much\, but not all\, research conducted since the late 1970s has demonstrated a relationship between people’s judgments of media content realism and the potential impact of that content. The same research has struggled to identify the conceptual dimensions people use to make judgments about realism.  This talk will briefly present the results of two experiments that look at the thoughts people report having while consuming written and filmic narratives and how those thoughts relate to their scores on perceived realism and narrative engagement scales. Then the thoughts reported will be used as a basis to discuss alternative or additional ways to conceptualize the concepts of perceived realism and unrealism\, and how those concepts could be operationalized.   \n\nRick Busselle’s research and teaching focuses on how mediated stories influence our perceptions and understandings of social issues related to poverty\, crime\, addiction\, and mental illness. His research focuses specifically on engagement with narratives\, perceived realism of stories\, and the social construction of reality through media. His work has been published in Communication Theory\, Communication Research\, and The Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media\, among other scholarly journals and academic proceedings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture: Multispectral Imaging: Shedding Light on Ancient Paint Surfaces
DESCRIPTION:The technical study of ancient polychromy often relies on investigative techniques that require sampling and comparative analysis using instrumentation. Such techniques are not always achievable\, due to their very dependence on samples\, the acquisition of which may be restricted depending on the collection or site. For this reason\, conservators at the Kelsey Museum have explored the use of non-invasive analytical and imaging techniques to investigate ancient paint surfaces. One of these techniques is Multispectral Imaging (MSI). MSI is non-destructive\, affordable\, and easily achievable in most settings\, since it requires only a modified camera\, lens filters\, and portable light sources. This talk will present case studies highlighting recent endeavors to optimize MSI research for field settings. \n\nReception 5:30 pm\, Lecture 6:00 pm.\n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Performance:Step Afrika!
DESCRIPTION:Step Afrika! is the first professional dance company dedicated to the art and tradition of stepping. Over the past 21 years Step Afrika! has grown to become one of the top 10 African American Dance Companies in the US and Washington DC’s largest African American arts organization. Step Afrika! began as an exchange program with the Soweto Dance Theatre of Johannesburg\, South Africa\, and has expanded to become a national and international touring company presenting performance\, residencies and workshops worldwide. The Company blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities\, African traditional dance and influences from a variety of other dance and art forms. Performances are much more than dance shows\; they integrate songs\, storytelling\, humor\, and audience participation. The blend of technique\, agility\, and pure energy makes each performance unique and leaves the audience with their hearts pounding. Step Afrika! promotes stepping as an educational tool for young people\, focusing on teamwork\, academic achievement and cross-cultural understanding. This event was planned with the goal of bringing awareness of the performance art of stepping to the campus community\, while simultaneously educating the audience about stepping’s traditional African roots and how it correlates with Black Greek Letter Organizations.\n\nBox Office opens at 6:30pm for the 7pm start time. Tickets are FREE but required for entry.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Symposium: From Archives to Nail Guns: Practical Applications of Graduate History Training
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a team of graduate students from diverse fields and chronological specializations collaborated to produce the exhibit “The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan” (on display at the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery\, Room 100\, until February 25). Turned loose in the archive to find compelling stories\, they identified four episodes in U-M history around which to organize the exhibit. The challenge then became interpreting those stories for a visual medium\, linking them thematically\, and constructing a physical exhibit that conveyed those connections. Members of the student team will talk about the challenges and rewards of this project\, how it intersected with their graduate training\, and what they learned by having to take into account a variety of stakeholders as they developed historical interpretations.\n\nFeaturing:\nMichelle McClellan (Assistant Professor\, History\, Residential College)\nJonathan Farr (Lecturer\, History)\nNora Krinitsky (Doctoral Candidate\, History)\nEmily Price (Doctoral Candidate\, History)\nKate Silbert (Doctoral Candidate\, History and Women's Studies)\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided. \n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:The discussion on stress in Arabic in the literature has primarily focused on the phonological constraints/rules behind the grammar of stress in Arabic. A rather limited number of studies delve into the topic of stress acquisition. The objective of this study is to investigate into the acquisition of stress and how it is biased by frequency. Following the usage-based approach to language acquisition\, it is predicted that the more frequent a stress pattern is\, the better the performance of the learners.\n\nTo examine this prediction\, I conducted an experiment consisting of three tasks: stress identification\, lexical decision\, and stress production. The stimuli implemented in the experiment are real and nonsense words that have contrastive frequency of stress pattern. By exposing these stimuli to the learners of Arabic in the experiment\, a biased performance preferring frequent stress pattern is predicted.\n\nThe results confirm this prediction\, as the participants react to words with frequent pattern with significantly faster reaction time and accuracy in the production task. Additionally\, it is found that the frequency of the stress pattern seems to interfere with word recognition as nonsense words with frequent stress pattern tend to be perceived as real words by the participants. These findings strongly support the role of frequency in language learning and processing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:A substantial body of terramechanics research has been performed at the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research\, Development\, and Engineering Center (TARDEC) and the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) that led to the development of various mobility prediction methodologies including the NATO Reference Mobility Model (NRMM). These methodologies are numerical algorithms for predicting cross-country vehicle movement at length scales of several meters to several kilometers. They are based on empirical results drawn from years of resource-intensive experimental testing and have been used widely by the military community. As a consequence of their empirical nature\, while the methods have been useful for prediction of large\, heavy vehicle mobility\, they can neither be extrapolated to today's vehicle designs containing advanced technologies nor are applicable to lightweight robotic vehicles. Hence is the need for a physics-based approach that would enable a high fidelity mobility prediction.  \n\nThis research is aimed at augmenting the role that computational multibody dynamics (MBD) plays in characterizing the dynamics of discrete media in terramechanics applications. The discrete element method (DEM) is a powerful\, emerging tool for analyzing these phenomena. The use of novel frictional-contact modeling techniques\, such as the differential variational inequality (DVI) approach\, which complement existing penalty/regularization approaches\, in combination with a mapping of the solution algorithms onto commodity massively parallel hardware is envisioned to lead to a major breakthrough in our ability to simulate the dynamics of tracked and wheeled vehicles operating on deformable terrain. \n\nThe challenge\, however\, is the computational performance of such approaches in terms of efficiency and robustness which are addressed in this research. The research focuses on the use of second order optimization methods to improve the robustness of the DVI method for large multiscale MBD problems. This research thrust is predicated on the assertion that bringing higher order information into the numerical solution will improve its rate of convergence.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The theory of mean field type control aims at describing the behaviour of a large number of interacting agents using a common feedback. A phenomenon that have raised a lot of interest recently is called congestion: the agents try move while avoiding crowded regions. We will present a system of partial differential equations (PDE) arising in this setting: a forward Fokker-Planck equation and a backward Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation describe respectively the evolution of the density of agents and of the value function. We are able to prove the existence and uniqueness of suitably defined weak solutions\, which are characterized as the optima of two optimal control problems in duality. Based on this optimal control viewpoint\, we develop an augmented Lagrangian algorithm solving numerically this mean field type control problem. This is joint work with Yves Achdou.

DESCRIPTION:A growing body of recent literature investigates quasiconformal mappings in the setting of equiregular sub-Riemannian manifolds. In this talk we consider quasiconformal mappings on the Grushin plane\, a basic example of a non-equiregular sub-Riemannian manifold. We will prove an equivalence of definitions of quasiconformality for such mappings and discuss limitations of this equivalence. This is joint work with C. Gartland and D. Jung.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminars | Naturalness in the Dark
DESCRIPTION:The search for physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC is largely oriented towards new particles associated with solutions to the electroweak hierarchy problem. While the precise character of these partner states may vary from model to model\, they typically possess large QCD production rates favorable for detection at hadron colliders. Null results in searches for partner particles during Run 1 of the LHC have placed the idea of electroweak naturalness under increasing strain. In this talk I'll discuss a broad class of natural theories where the new degrees of freedom relevant for naturalness lie in hidden sectors and are largely unconstrained by LHC data. Rather than rendering electroweak naturalness untestable\, they give rise to entirely new signs of naturalness at the LHC\, including displaced decays and other exotic signatures. They also furnish a variety of viable dark matter candidates testable at current and future experiments.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SynSem Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:We are reading a paper by Beltrama on Intensification\, gradability and social perception: the case of totally.\n\nAbstract\nThe notion of social meaning\, widely investigated in sociolinguistics\, is\nrarely considered in experimental semantics\, mainly due to the assumption that this\ntype of meaning is relatively independent from the semantic properties of its carrier.\nFollowing a recent strand of inquiry (Acton and Potts (2014)\, Glass (2015))\, this\npaper aims to fill this gap by exploring the role of semantic and pragmatic factors\nin determining the salience of the social meaning of a linguistic expression. Relying\non a social perception task\, it is shown that listeners perceive the social meaning\nof the intensifier totally − measured in terms of Solidarity and Status attributes\n− as particularly prominent in situations in which the morpheme combines with\na commitment scale provided by the pragmatics\, as opposed to when it combines\nwith a scale lexically supplied by the subsequent predicate. This evidence suggests\nthat listeners keep track of semantic information when making social evaluations\nabout speech\, pointing to social perception as a novel methodology for research in\nexperimental semantics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:The combinatorial R-matrix is the unique affine sl_n crystal isomorphism between A x B and B x A\, where A and B are finite-dimensional affine crystals corresponding to rectangular partitions. This map can be described combinatorially in terms of rectification of skew tableaux.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present a construction of a ``geometric R-matrix\,'' a rational map which has properties analogous to those of the combinatorial R-matrix\, and which tropicalizes to a piecewise-linear formula for the combinatorial R-matrix. The construction makes use of Noumi and Yamada's notion of ``tropical row insertion\,'' as well as the Grassmannian and the loop group. When both partitions are a single row\, we recover results of Yamada and Lam-Pylyavskyy. Speaker(s): Gabriel Frieden (U. Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Robot-Enabled Research Efforts to Promote Resiliency and Sustainability of Geo-Systems
DESCRIPTION:Recent advances in robotics pave new directions for our society and are destined to impact the entire breadth of the geoprofession (engineering and science)\, including the way we characterize\, design\, monitor and quantify risk of geo-systems. Robotic platforms provide an opportunity for spatially distributed\, mobile\, sensing that enable unprecedented data-driven characterization opportunities and optimized monitoring on the most critical areas and with the appropriate types of measurements. Robotic platforms not only have unprecedented sensing capabilities\, but also outstanding\, untapped\, computational capabilities that can promote data fusion and lead to better characterization of the interaction of geosystems with the environment. Examples of ongoing research efforts related to post-earthquake reconnaissance and methane emissions from modern landfills using the capabilities of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Unmanned Land-based Vehicles to improve our understanding of geo-processes and promote resiliency and sustainability of geo-infrastructure systems will be presented.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Post Post-It
DESCRIPTION:As the launch for the Detroit School Project RIW Winter lecture series\, we are delighted to host Anya Sirota for a lecture and conversation about community-based design and architecture in Detroit. Thank you for forwarding this message. \n\nAnya Sirota is Assistant Professor of Architecture at Taubman College and the principal architect at Akoaki\, a Detroit-based art and architecture practice with an established reputation for original projects that materialize utopian ambitions in complex urban scenarios (www.akoaki.com). A prolific innovator whose work spans film\, print\, performance\, and architecture\, Sirota is a driving force behind multiple collective avant-garde productions in Detroit\, including the Detroit Culture Council\, the One Mile Project and One Mile Zine\, the Mothership\, and the Oakland Urban Farm\, as well many other ongoing projects\, temporary exhibits\, and targeted actions aimed at sustaining community in SE Michigan and in France.  In her practice and her teaching\, Sirota focuses on the relationship between architecture and contemporary cultural production\, critically re-evaluating how architecture can sustain heritage and participate in public discourse. \n\nOn Friday\, January 27 from 4:15-6:15 PM in the Rackham West Conference Room\, Sirota will discuss with us her vision for community-based learning and design\, the partnership process\, and \"radical preservation.\" Please join us!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Diversity Postdoc Talk - Clinical/G&FP Area
DESCRIPTION:Title: Cultural Betrayal Trauma Theory: How Inequality Impacts Trauma Outcomes\n\nAbstract: Interpersonal trauma\, such as physical\, sexual\, and psychological abuse\, is linked with mental health outcomes\, with some minority populations at increased risk for victimization. Drawing from the mainstream and minority trauma psychology literatures\, cultural betrayal trauma theory (CBTT\; Gómez\, 2012) includes interpersonal trauma in conjunction with discrimination to examine trauma sequelae. For example\, in CBTT\, I propose that if a Black woman is sexually assaulted by a Black man\, the outcomes of this trauma\, such as PTSD\, are impacted by both the victim and perpetrator experiencing discrimination in society. In addition to detailing the empirical evidence for CBTT\, I will share the vision for my research program. I will close with micro- and macro-level implications of CBTT\, including the necessity of grappling with the tension of conducting this work within a society of inequality.

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

SUMMARY:Well-being:Mindfulness@Umich
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness@Umich is a program that is available to all University of Michigan students\, faculty\, and staff. The sessions are 30 minutes long\, flexible\, and free.\n\nThe sessions are led by a group of students and staff who have received training to lead the 30 minute sessions. They also have personal practices.The meditations are guided (which means there will be speaking throughout the meditation) and they ​last ​for 25 minutes. We typically sit in chairs. We often end the practice with a short metta or gratitude meditation. At the very end of the session\, we'll spend a few minutes talking about issues that may have arisen in your meditation\, recent research\, or ways to practice outside of the session.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Other:Artificial Photosynthesis with Particles
DESCRIPTION:The identification of an artificial photosynthesis method to turn solar energy into globally usable amounts of fuel is considered one of the most important challenges today.  Photochemical water splitting with particle-based systems has the greatest potential to achieve this goal. Currently\, the development of such systems is limited by intrinsic materials issues and by an incomplete understanding of photochemical charge separation on the nanoscale. This talk will discuss these obstacles and present ways to overcome them using recent examples from the literature and from the author’s own laboratory. \nFrank Osterloh (University of California\, Davis)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Analysis\, Dynamics and Geometry
DESCRIPTION:To a birational map of a smooth projective variety one can associate the sequence of the degrees of its iterates. We will look at the question\, which kind of sequences can be obtained in that way. I will first recall some results about degree sequences and dynamical degrees in the case of surfaces and then discuss some new constraints and examples in higher dimensions. We will also see that the set of all possible degree sequences is countable\; this generalizes a result of Bonifant and Fornaess. Speaker(s): Christian Urech (University of Basel)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:Over twenty years ago\, Candelas and his collaborators proposed the celebrated mirror conjecture\, which related the genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of the quintic 3-folds with the periods on their mirror family. This classical mirror symmetry is considered as a local duality near the large Kahler/complex structure limit points on the two moduli spaces. About ten years ago\, Fan-Javis-Ruan introduced a new mathematical quantum singularity theory. Later Chiodo-Ruan proved that for the quintic case\, this theory is the A-theory which is mirror to the B-theory near the Gepner point.  However\, a mathematically A-theory corresponding to the conifold point is still missing. In this talk\, I will present an uniform computation method for A-model theories on all these three points. For simlicity we will consider the case of local CP^2. We will show how to prove certain important properties such as polynomiality and gap condition for higher genus free energy\, there properties are orginally conjectured by phisists from the B-model theories. This is still a work in progress.\n Speaker(s): Shui Guo (Peking University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | The Atacama B-mode Search: Cosmology at 17\,000 Feet
DESCRIPTION:The Atacama B-mode Search (ABS) was a cryogenic crossed-Dragone telescope located at an elevation of 5200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile that observed the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from February 2012 until October 2014. ABS was a pathfinder experiment that searched on degree-angular scales for inflationary B-modes in the CMB and pioneered the use of a rapidly-rotating half-wave plate (HWP)\, which modulates the polarization of incoming light to permit the measurement of celestial polarization on large angular scales that would otherwise be obscured by atmospheric noise. I will discuss the ABS telescope\, describe novel instrument characterization techniques using the HWP\, and give an overview of the first two seasons of ABS data.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, Dong and Liechty determined the large-n asymptotic behavior of n Brownian walkers on the unit circle with non-crossing paths conditioned to start from a single point at time zero and end at the same point at a fixed ending time.  We analyze the analogous problem with a nonzero drift. We show there is a critical drift value for which the total winding is asymptotically zero with probability one.  We compute the critical drift explicitly and discuss the positive winding case.  Our results follow from asymptotic analysis of related discrete orthogonal polynomials carried out via the nonlinear steepest-descent method for Riemann-Hilbert problems. This is joint work with Karl Liechty. Speaker(s): Robert Buckingham (University of Cincinnati)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. Innovation on the Reservation: Information Technology and Health Systems Research Among the Papago\, 1965-1980
DESCRIPTION:In May of 1973\, an unusual collaboration between the NASA\, the Indian Health Service\, and the Lockheed Missile and Space Company promised to transform the way that members of the Papago (now Tohono O’odham) Nation of Southern Arizona accessed modern medicine.  Through a system of state-of the art microwave relays\, slow-scan television links\, and mobile health units\,  the residents of this vast reservation—roughly the size of the state of Connecticut—would access physicians remotely via telemedical encounters instead of traveling to distant hospitals. This paper traces the conflicting and converging approaches of aerospace engineers\, Indian Health Service physicians\, and tribal leadership in positioning the Papago Reservation as a site for biomedical research\, development and innovation. Co-sponsored by the Medical Scientists Training Program.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Combinatorics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Understanding combinatorial rules for decomposing tensor products of irreducible representations has been an area of active research in various contexts for the past several decades. In the case of GL_n representations\, the most famous rule is the Littlewood-Richardson rule. In this talk\, we will give another rule using domino tableaux. This approach has the added advantage that it can compute the symmetric square and alternating square of an irreducible representation as well. Speaker(s): Viswambhara Makam (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:We will start with an introduction to p-adic automorphic forms and then discuss a variant of the q-expansion principle (called the Serre-Tate expansion principle) for p-adic automorphic forms on unitary groups of arbitrary signature. We outline how this can be used to produce p-adic families of automorphic forms on unitary groups\, which has applications to the construction of p-adic L-functions. This is done via an explicit description of the action of certain differential operators on the Serre-Tate expansion. Speaker(s): Jessica Fintzen (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Eastern Studies Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Professor Das argues that the five-volume medical compilation the Canon of Medicine (Al-Qānūn fī l-ṭibb) by the Persian polymath Ibn Sīnā (980–1037) represents a revisionist project\, whose aim is to restore the disciplinary boundary between medicine and philosophy. While Ibn Sīnā himself was a philosopher who made his career as a doctor\, he heavily criticized his Greek forerunner Galen (d. c. 217 CE) for claiming that ‘the best doctor was also a philosopher’. By examining Ibn Sīnā’s hierarchical conception of science\, she will show how he restricts medical inquiry to the treatment of diseases and the maintenance of health\, whereas Galen approaches the body as a steppingstone to broader cosmic truths. The title of the Canon of Medicine suggests that the text offers a new set of laws for studying medicine. However\, as Professor Das contend\, these laws ultimately fail to supplant Galen’s vision of medicine because Ibn Sīnā\, even in the Canon of Medicine\, cannot entirely remove himself from the philosophical-medical tradition of Galenism.

DESCRIPTION:We’ve had many conversations on diversity and inclusion many of which have predominately been reactive to events that attacked our values of community. Our values embrace a diversity of opinions\, ideas\, experiences and identities – e.g.\, class\, race\, gender\, political perspectives\, religion\, and sexual orientation. Developing a space for diversity means also discussing when these intersectional identities come into conflict with each other. This forum will explore approaches to expand our ability to be a truly inclusive graduate community. Dinner will be served.\n\nPre-registration is required at https://secure.rackham.umich.edu/Events/wsreg.php?ws_id=401.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CREES Film and Discussion. Houston\, We Have a Problem!
DESCRIPTION:In Croatian\, English\, Serbian\, and Slovene with English subtitles (88 min.\, 2016). Post-screening Q&A with the director and producer.\n\n\"Houston\, We Have a Problem!\" is a docu-fiction film co-produced by Slovenia\, Croatia\, Germany\, the Czech Republic and Qatar. Žiga Virc’s debut full-length film examines the myth of the United States' secret multi-million dollar purchase of the Yugoslav space program in the early 1960s. The masterful use of archival footage takes the audience back to the Cold War\, the space race and NASA’s landing on the Moon. Virc intersperses real and fictional events\, challenging the viewer to decide what is real and what is fiction. \n\nŽiga Virc\, an Academy Award nominated film and television director\, wrote the screenplay with Boštjan Virc\, who is also the film’s producer.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EMERGING VOICES LECTURE: KIAN GOH\, \"HOW TO BE AN ACCOMPLICE: URBAN RESEARCH AND PRACTICE IN A TIME OF SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL UNCERTAINTIES\"
DESCRIPTION:We confront uncertain times. In the United States and elsewhere\, we not only face increasing threats of violence and aggression against already marginalized groups\, but as well the dismantling of our social and public institutions. At the same time\, we face global urban and environmental challenges on unprecedented scales. How do those of us in urban planning\, design\, and architecture respond to these evolving challenges? Cross-disciplinary\, and spanning research and practice\, this talk probes the possible frameworks for engagement\, scope of politics\, modes of practice\, and methods for research and action. \nKian Goh is an Assistant Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA. Her research investigates the relationships between urban ecological design\, spatial politics\, and social mobilization in the context of climate change and global urbanization. A licensed architect\, Goh co-founded design practice SUPER-INTERESTING!\, a Building Brooklyn Award winner and ONE Prize semi-finalist. She has also worked with Weiss/Manfredi in New York City\, and MVRDV in Rotterdam. Previously\, she was Assistant Professor of Urban Landscape at Northeastern University\, and has taught architecture\, urban planning\, sustainable design\, and environmental studies at MIT\, University of Pennsylvania\, the New School\, and Washington University in St. Louis. Goh previously served on the board of directors of the Audre Lorde Project. She is a Point Scholar\, and the recipient of a New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) independent projects grant. She received a PhD in Urban and Environmental Planning from the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at MIT\, and a Master of Architecture from Yale University.\nThis lecture is part of P+ARG's Emerging Voices Lecture Series. P+ARG is comprised of research students in both Urban and Regional Planning and Architecture. Our main purpose is to enhance the social and academic experiences of research students in the college.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Lighting\, Cameras\, Action: Technological Revolutions in Modern Chinese Theater
DESCRIPTION:From lighting units to digital projectors\, the machinery responsible for the magic of the theater often remains hidden offstage\, out of sight and out of mind. Beginning in the early decades of the 20th century\, however\, certain influential Chinese theater artists began to view the technical side of modernized stagecraft as the key to innovation in both the aesthetics and the political efficacy of this popular medium. This talk will counterpoise two key moments in the history of revolutionary theater—a performance of the international anti-imperialist hit\, \"Roar\, China!\,\" in 1930s Shanghai and stagings of the “revolutionary model operas” (geming yangbanxi) in the early 1970s—in order to explore the relationship between the use of technology in the theater and theater as a technology for producing affect and action. \n    \nTarryn Li-Min Chun is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Study of China at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. Her work focuses on intersections of theater\, literature\, and visual media in modern and contemporary China\, Taiwan\, and Hong Kong. She received her PhD from the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University\, as well as an MA in Regional Studies-East Asian from Harvard and a BA in East Asian Studies from Princeton University. Her current book project\, based on her doctoral dissertation\, examines the relationship between technological modernization and aesthetic innovation in Chinese theater from the 1930s to the present. During her postdoctoral fellowship\, she is working towards a new book manuscript chapter on the relationship between stage technology and ideology in the Cultural Revolution model operas and developing a digital humanities extension of her project.

DESCRIPTION:Hiram E Fitzgerald is University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology and Associate Provost for University Outreach and Engagement at Michigan State University. He is nationally recognized for his work on civic engagement. Undergirding his approach is the understanding that the academy is not the sole source of knowledge and expertise\; both expertise and great learning opportunities in teaching and scholarship reside in non-academic settings as well. Through community engagement\, universities can fulfill their promise both to prepare students for productive citizenship in a democracy and to produce knowledge that benefits society. This form of engagement requires a framework for scholarship that moves away from emphasizing products to emphasizing broader impacts for society at-large.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Geometry/Topology
DESCRIPTION:On a compact Kahler manifold\, the Kahler-Ricci flow is a differential equation whose solution\, when it exists\, is a family of Kahler metrics on the manifold. Initially introduced to produce canonical metrics on complex manifolds\, the Kahler-Ricci flow is now a major tool in Kahler geometry. I aim to give a brief account of how the Kahler-Ricci flow arose in the study of canonical metrics\, and to explain\, in the case of complex surfaces\, how the Kahler-Ricci behaves as an analytic version of the minimal model program.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Varieties of Democratic Diffusion: Colonial\, Alliance\, and Neighbor Networks
DESCRIPTION:Numerous studies have reported that countries tend to become more similar to their immediate geographic neighbors with respect to democracy. In this lecture\, Michael Coppedge will confirm this finding with far more extensive Varieties of Democracy data and show that a similar process of mutual adjustment can be found within very different international networks: international alliances and geographically dispersed colonial empires\, especially those that were founded early and lasted a century or more. The electoral democracy index from the Varieties of Democracy project\, which is the dependent variable\, includes historical democracy ratings for colonies\, making it possible to test these relationships extensively for the first time. The causal mechanisms for the diffusion of democracy are notoriously vague\, but the existence of diffusion within alliance and colonial networks helps narrow the possibilities. Where these relationships are significant\, the net tendency is overwhelmingly convergence. Allies have tended to become more similar to one another in their levels of electoral democracy\; colonies have tended to democratize more quickly than similar countries that were never colonies\; and some colonizers have tended to democratize more slowly than similar countries that never had colonies. Coppedge will distinguish between effects that took place during colonial rule and later relations between former colonies and their colonizers. \n    \nMichael Coppedge is professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame and a faculty fellow of the Kellogg Institute for International Studies. He is also one of the principal investigators of the Varieties of Democracy Project\, which has produced new measures of hundreds of aspects of democracy and governance for nearly all countries since 1900. He is the author of \"Democratization and Research Methods\" (Cambridge University Press\, 2012)\; \"Strong Parties and Lame Ducks: Presidential Partyarchy and Factionalism in Venezuela\" (Stanford University Press\, 1994)\; and dozens of articles and chapters on democratization\, research methods\, and Latin American political parties and elections.

DESCRIPTION:In Math 631\, you learn about the configuration X of 27 lines on a smooth cubic surface in projective 3-space\, reducing to the Fermat cubic case\; moreover\, each line in said configuration meets exactly 10 other lines. There's a notion of dual graph for projective subschemes\, the dual graph of X is 10-regular and 10-connected (graph theory notions)\, and X has Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity 11. As part of a larger narrative\, Benedetti-Di Marca-Varbaro (https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.02134) deduce a theorem involving dual graphs of arithmetically-Gorenstein line configurations with planar singularities\, which places this factoid from Math 631 into a general framework of enumerative geometry facts like it. They give seven examples in 3-space to illustrate their work\, and hopefully I'll have time to mention Example F (F=Fermat surfaces). With a view towards stating  Benedetti-Di Marca-Varbaro's main theorem\, I'll first try to survey the notions of dual graph and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity as they pertain to complete intersection projective subspace arrangements.    \n\nThis talk won't have proofs. My goal is to survey a handful of results more or less chronologically\, and have a few examples on hand for illustration. The curious audience member can check out the relevant papers for self-study\, or stop into Student Commutative Algebra where we try to work through the more algebraic facets of their work.

SUMMARY:Other:Bystander Intervention Training
DESCRIPTION:Central Student Government is deeply committed to changing the culture around sexual misconduct and alcohol and other drug misuse on campus. This is why we want to empower Michigan students to receive Bystander Intervention training around these important and challenging issues.We have instituted a pilot funding policy\, in which a student organization will only be eligible to claim\, at most\, $1\,000 per semester from SOFC until that group sends at least two of its authorized signers to one Bystander Intervention training facilitated by campus partners. This pilot policy will go in effect at the beginning of next semester\, Winter 2017.** Please only register for one event and mark this in your calendar. Registration is a commitment to attend. Not attending will cause a delay in allowing your organization to claim more than $1\,000. **

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Diversity Postdoc Talk - CPEP/P&SC Area
DESCRIPTION:Title: Do Adults Matter? Youth-Adult Relationships in the Lives of Adolescents\n\nAbstract: During adolescence\, the sphere of influence typically shifts from parental figures to one that encompasses their broader community. Young people encounter non-parental adults in the community through their social networks and various institutions\, from extended family members and teachers to coaches and staff at youth-serving community organizations. These adults can be important sources of support\, guidance\, and social capital for youth (DuBois\, Portillo\, Rhodes\, Silverthorn\, & Valentine\, 2011\; Hurd and Sellers\, 2013). Mentoring and other forms of adult support can serve as ways to facilitate and promote positive youth developmental outcomes. A series of studies will be presented in which I examine the role of mentor characteristics and mentoring relationship quality to a variety of developmental outcomes\, such as acculturation\, educational outcomes\, and coping efficacy with racial discrimination. I will also present ongoing research on the role of sociopolitical support from adults in college students' educational experiences in service-learning\, and ultimately\, their civic engagement and participation. Because diverse populations of young people are situated in a multi-layered context\, it is important to investigate the role of community-based adults in promoting positive youth development.

I show that axion cold dark matter may be a good probe of the pre-BBN epoch since observational properties like the axion mass\, its velocity dispersion\, and the size of axion miniclusters can be used to distinguish among different scenarios.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we extend the Holmström and Milgrom problem by adding uncertainty about the volatility of the output for both the Agent and the Principal. We study more precisely the impact of the \"Nature\" playing against the Agent and the Principal by choosing the worst possible volatility of the output. We solve the first–best and the second-best problems associated with this framework and we show that optimal contracts are in a class of contracts similar to Cvitanic\, Possamaï and Touzi\, linear with respect to the output and its quadratic variation. We compare our results with the classical problem. Speaker(s): Thibaut Mastrolia (Ecole Polytechnique)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Topological Boundary Modes from Quantum Electronics to Classical Mechanics
DESCRIPTION:Over the past several years\, our understanding of topological electronic phases of matter has advanced dramatically. A paradigm that has emerged is that insulating electronic states with an energy gap fall into distinct topological classes. Interfaces between different topological phases exhibit gapless conducting states that are protected topologically and are impossible to get rid of. In this talk we will discuss the application of this idea to the quantum Hall effect\, topological insulators\, topological superconductors and the quest for Majorana fermions in condensed matter. We will then show that similar ideas arise in a completely different class of problems. Isostatic lattices are arrays of masses and springs that are at the verge of mechanical instability. They play an important role in our understanding of granular matter\, glasses and other ‘soft’ systems. Depending on their geometry\, they can exhibit zero-frequency	‘floppy’ modes localized on their boundaries that are insensitive to local perturbations. The mathematical relation between this classical system and quantum electronic systems reveals an unexpected connection between theories of hard and soft matter. \n\nBio can be found here: http://www.physics.upenn.edu/people/standing-faculty/charles-kane

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Failure Factories: When Education Policies Desert Our Children
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Reception to follow.\n\nThis event will be live webstreamed. Please check back here just before the event for viewing details.\n\nLivingston Award winning journalists and education policy experts discuss \"Failure Factories\,\" the Tampa Bay Times investigation of what happened after the Pinellas County School Board abandoned integration in favor of a neighborhood school system\, and the policy changes prompted by the reports. \n\nAbout the Article: \n\nOn Dec. 18\, 2007\, the Pinellas County School Board abandoned integration. They justified the vote with bold promises: Schools in poor\, black neighborhoods would get more money\, more staff\, more resources. They delivered none of that.\n\nThis is the story of how district leaders turned five once-average schools into Failure Factories.\n\nAbout the Journalists:\n\nLisa Gartner is a writer on the enterprise team at the Tampa Bay Times. In 2016\, she and Times reporters Cara Fitzpatrick and Michael LaForgia won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for \"Failure Factories.\" The series also won the Livingston Award\, the Polk Award for Education Reporting\, the Worth Bingham Prize for Investigative Journalism and the Investigative Reporters and Editors Medal\, among other honors. Gartner joined the Times in 2013. She grew up in Wellington\, Florida\, and attended Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. After graduating in 2010\, she joined The Washington Examiner to report on education in the D.C. metro area. At the Times\, Gartner covered Pinellas County Schools and higher education before joining the enterprise team in 2016. \n\nMichael LaForgia is investigations editor at the Tampa Bay Times. He is a Livingston Award winner and has twice won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting - in 2014 for exposing problems in a Hillsborough County homeless program and in 2016 for the \"Failure Factories\" series. He joined the Times in 2012. \n\nNathaniel Lash joined the Tampa Bay Times in 2015 as an intern and became a data reporter. He was a fellow at The Center for Investigative Reporting\, an intern at Newsday and a news applications developer at The Wall Street Journal. A Livingston Award winner\, Lash graduated from the University of Urbana-Champaign with a degree in news-editorial journalism.  \n\nAbout the policy expert\nTabbye M. Chavous is the director of the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) and a Professor of Education and Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan. Her expertise and research activities include social identity development among Black adolescents and young adults\; and diversity and multicultural climates in secondary and higher education settings and implications for students' academic\, social\, and psychological adjustment.\n\nAbout the moderator\nBrian Jacob is the Walter H. Annenberg Professor of Education Policy\, professor of economics\, co-director of the Education Policy Initiative and Youth Policy Lab\, and director of the Ford School’s doctoral program. His research focuses on urban school reform\, virtual schooling and teacher labor markets\; other recent work examines school choice\, education accountability programs\, and housing vouchers. He leads ongoing research collaborations with policymakers and practitioners\, including State of Michigan Department of Education\, DC Public Schools and Miami-Dade Public Schools. Jacob was a school teacher before his graduate studies. Jacob holds a PhD in Public Policy from the University of Chicago and an AB magna cum laude in Social Studies from Harvard University. \n\nAbout the Livingston Awards:\nThe Livingston Awards for Young Journalists at the University of Michigan are the most prestigious honor for professional journalists under the age of 35. Livingston judges\, drawn from the most accomplished figures in the profession\, select winners in local\, national and international reporting. Entries from print\, broadcast and online journalism are judged against one another as technology blurs distinctions between platforms. The prizes are sponsored by the University of Michigan\, the John S. and the Indian Trail Charitable Foundation. The Livingston Awards area program of Wallace House at the University of Michigan\, home to the Knight-Wallace Fellowships for Journalists.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Ford School the Education Policy Initiative and the School of Education.\n\n2017 Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium event

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:This talk will consists first in an overview of recent progresses made in contracting theory\, using the so-called dynamic programming approach. The basic situation is that of a Principal wanting to hire an Agent to do a task on his behalf\, and who has to be properly incenticized. We will show that in general\, this may lead to situations where Agents can be rewarded negatively. We will discuss an extension of these model introducing limited liability\, its solution\, as well as its economic consequences. \n\nThis is mainly based on a joint work with  Anthony Reveillac (INSA Toulouse) and Stephane Villeneuve (TSE).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Translation\, Conversion\, and the Black Body in Colonial Spanish America
DESCRIPTION:Larissa Brewer-García is an Assistant Professor of Spanish at the University of Chicago. She specializes in colonial Latin American studies\, with a focus on cultural productions of the Caribbean and Andes and the African diaspora in the Iberian empire. Within these areas\, her research and teaching interests include the relationship between literature and law\, genealogies of race and racism\, humanism and Catholicism in the early modern Atlantic\, and translation studies. Her current book project\, Beyond Babel: Translation and the Making of Blackness in Colonial Spanish America\, examines the influence of black interpreters and go-betweens in the creation and circulation of notions of blackness in writings from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish America. She is also working on Saints’ Lives of the Early Black Atlantic\, a translation and critical edition of hagiographies of individuals of African descent written in Spanish from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.\n\nPresented by the Law in Slavery and Freedom Project in the U-M Law School and the Institute for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:The moduli space of tropical curves (and its variants) are some of the most-studied objects in tropical geometry. So far this moduli space has only been considered as an essentially set-theoretic coarse moduli space (sometimes with additional structure). As a consequence of this restriction\, the tropical forgetful map does not define a universal curve (at least in the positive genus case). The classical work of Deligne-Knudsen-Mumford has resolved a similar issue for the algebraic moduli space of curves by considering the fine moduli stacks instead of the coarse moduli spaces.\n\nIn this talk I am going to give an introduction to these fascinating moduli spaces and report on ongoing work with Renzo Cavalieri\, Melody Chan\, and Jonathan Wise\, where we propose the notion of a moduli stack of tropical curves as a geometric stack over the category of rational polyhedral cones. Using this $2$-categorical framework one can give a natural interpretation of the forgetful morphism as a universal curve. Moreover\, I will propose two different ways of describing the process of tropicalization: one via logarithmic geometry in the sense of Kato-Illusie and the other via non-Archimedean analytic geometry in the sense of Berkovich.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Israeli Berlin: Jewish Culture in the German Capital\, Then and Now\"
DESCRIPTION:West Bloomfield Lecture Series: Israel in the World\n\nEvery year\, hundreds of Israelis migrate to Berlin\, provoking heated reactions from Israeli critics who see moving to Germany\, of all places\, as an act of desertion. The intensity of the debate surrounding Israelis in Berlin today conceals the fact that Jewish migration to the German capital is not new. Roughly a century ago\, Berlin emerged as a major metropolis and a magnet for Hebrew- and Yiddish-speaking writers from Eastern Europe who\, like Israelis today\, came in search of economic and artistic opportunity. This talk will explore the development of Israeli culture in Berlin through the lens of the past. How can the history of Hebrew and Yiddish culture in Weimar Berlin illuminate the current phenomenon of Israeli “diasporization”? What might this phenomenon tell us about Israeli identity today? \n\nRachel Seelig is a fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD from the University of Chicago in 2011 and has taught German Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is the author\, most recently\, of Strangers in Berlin: Modern Jewish Literature between East and West\, 1919-1933 (University of Michigan Press\, 2016). Rachel is currently co-editing a volume with Amir Eshel entitled The German-Hebrew Dialogue: Studies of Encounter and Exchange\, which will be published by De Gruyter Press in 2017.\n\nSponsored by: Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies and JCC's Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment

So... how can we understand language?\n\nThis week\, the Celebrated Chengyu will show us the way. We'll discuss Natural Language Processing. We'll meet:\n    3433 EECS\, Wednesday\, 2017-02-01\, 19:00-20:00.\nWe look forward to seeing you there!\n\nIn celebration of Language\, let's each bring an NLP idea or question that interests us. It'll enrich the discussion. Naive questions are good.\n\nMammals: Good Bye!\nMamuel Tenka

SUMMARY:Performance:Susto
DESCRIPTION:The music of SUSTO has been given many labels—Americana\, alt-country\, southern folk\, indie rock\, even gospel—and though these descriptions aren't inaccurate\, they only provide part of the picture. Bandleader and songsmith Justin Osborne’s lyrics bring the full picture into view. He weaves catchy hooks into honest storytelling\, utilizing gothic imagery\, wry humor\, and social commentary to convey his confessional tales. His gravelly\, pitch-perfect voice is the ideal vehicle to bring these heartfelt expressions to the listener and the sincerity he exudes while performing is palpable. Growing up in Puddin’ Swamp\, a small town in rural South Carolina\, Osborne embraced the locals’ clear conversational style of storytelling. Attending the College of Charleston in Charleston\, SC. Justin  was given the opportunity to study abroad in Havana\, Cuba. There he was captivated by the authenticity and honesty of local musicians' lyrics and their ability to bring humor to the darker aspects of life. He began performing around Havana\, and even co-wrote two songs with local musician Camilo Miranda. The willingness of the locals to listen without reservations instilled in Osborne the realization that this—writing music\, performing\, traveling—is what he needed to be doing with his life. By the end of 2013\, Osborne arrived back in Charleston\, driven to succeed and surrounded by a local arts community that not only embraced his music\, but also wanted to be a part of it. In spring 2014\, SUSTO released their self-titled debut album.They have since completed two more North American tours and opened for major acts such as Boston\, Band of Horses\, Iron & Wine\, and Shovels & Rope. They come to Michigan with their sophomore release ready to go.
