ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING (January 29, 2017 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/37563 37563-6629381@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, January 29, 2017 8:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19
This exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.
This 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.
Vibrant, 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.
Organized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund.
Join 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.

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.

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.

As a part of the University of Michigan bicentennial celebration, this year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite, hand-cut paper creations has a historical perspective. Clark, a former U-M physician, began making pictorial paper snowflakes in 1984, and his first exhibit of these intricate works was at the University of Michigan Rackham Building in 1987, entitled A Hundred Holiday Snowflakes. Works from that show as well as from his first exhibit at the University Hospital in 1988 (including dinosaurs, clowns and patriotic themes) are on display in this retrospective exhibit. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday, January 5 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby, Floor 1.

This group of fiber artists challenged themselves to represent one or more of these concepts in a representational or abstract way. They are all members of Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc., an international organization that promotes fiber as a fine art form. It serves to educate the public about the history of quilts and their significance in contemporary art.

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

Elaine Reed has been collecting toy robots for over 30 years. As a painter herself, she appreciates the artistic design & futuristic ideas that robots awaken in people. As a child, television programs like Lost in Space, The Jetsons & Star Trek inspired Reed to dream large and wish for a real robot of her own. Although she doesn’t own any real live robots, some of her best friends are robots. At the University of Michigan Health System, Reed works as a Bedside Artist for the Gifts of Art program and as an artist at the Turner Senior Resource Center. She also volunteers at 826 Michigan in Ann Arbor writing about robots.

Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Free and open to the public
Ambiguous 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?
By 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.
Ambiguous 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.

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.

The 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run (January 29, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/31216 31216-5794043@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, January 29, 2017 11:00am

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

For 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.

The 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.

Lead 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.



Lead 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.

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).

Lead 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.

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.

Campbell’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.

Throughout 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.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund,
the 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.

Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection (January 29, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/35430 35430-5224449@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, January 29, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

The Aesthetic Movement (January 29, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/34762 34762-4987798@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, January 29, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

In 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan (January 29, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/35907 35907-5372247@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, January 29, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester

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.

This 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.

On display January 4-February 25, 2017, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).

This 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.

Before becoming art objects in the West, intricately designed Tibetan book covers were considered religious objects, protecting the words and the teachings of the Buddha. The curator of the exhibition Protecting Wisdom (on view through April 2, 2017), Dr. Kathryn Selig Brown, will discuss the book covers' ornate decoration, form, and production, as well as their place in Tibetan cultural history.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19
This exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.
This 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.
Vibrant, 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.
Organized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund.
Join 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.

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.

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

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester

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.

This 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.

On display January 4-February 25, 2017, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).

This 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.

Title: Cultural Betrayal Trauma Theory: How Inequality Impacts Trauma Outcomes

Abstract: 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.

Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Free and open to the public
Ambiguous 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?
By 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.
Ambiguous 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.

Organized By: Newnan LSA Academic Advising Center

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.

The 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.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

The 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run (January 30, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/31216 31216-5794044@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 30, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

For 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.

The 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.

Lead 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.

Moving Image: Landscape (January 30, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/36107 36107-5446221@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 30, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

Campbell’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.

Throughout 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.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund,

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

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.

In 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.

The kidney not only filters metabolic wastes and toxins from the body, it also regulates the body's water balance, electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance, blood pressure, and blood flow. Despite intense research, aspects of kidney functions remain incompletely understood. I will discuss how our group use mathematical modeling techniques to address a host of previously unanswered questions in renal physiology and pathophysiology: Why is the mammalian kidney so susceptible to hypoxia, despite receiving ~25% of the cardiac output? What are the mechanisms underlying the development of acute kidney injury in a patient who has undergone cardiac surgery performed on cardiopulmonary bypass? What is the effect of inhibiting sodium-glucose transport, a novel treatment for reducing renal glucose update in diabetes, on renal NaCl transport and oxygen consumption?

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.

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)

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.

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.

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)

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.

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)

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)

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.

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

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.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

In Croatian, English, Serbian, and Slovene with English subtitles (88 min., 2016). Post-screening Q&A with the director and producer.

"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.

Žiga Virc, an Academy Award nominated film and television director, wrote the screenplay with Boštjan Virc, who is also the film’s producer. The cinematographer is Andrej Virc, the founder of Studio Virc. In addition to Studio Virc, the producers include Nukleus Film, Sutor Kolonko, and co-producers, RTV Slovenia, HBO Europe, Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) and the Doha Film Institute.

The film will be Slovenia's nominee for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2017.

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.
Kian 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.
This 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.

Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19
This exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.
This 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.
Vibrant, 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.
Organized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund.
Join 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.

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.

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.

As a part of the University of Michigan bicentennial celebration, this year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite, hand-cut paper creations has a historical perspective. Clark, a former U-M physician, began making pictorial paper snowflakes in 1984, and his first exhibit of these intricate works was at the University of Michigan Rackham Building in 1987, entitled A Hundred Holiday Snowflakes. Works from that show as well as from his first exhibit at the University Hospital in 1988 (including dinosaurs, clowns and patriotic themes) are on display in this retrospective exhibit. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday, January 5 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby, Floor 1.

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

Elaine Reed has been collecting toy robots for over 30 years. As a painter herself, she appreciates the artistic design & futuristic ideas that robots awaken in people. As a child, television programs like Lost in Space, The Jetsons & Star Trek inspired Reed to dream large and wish for a real robot of her own. Although she doesn’t own any real live robots, some of her best friends are robots. At the University of Michigan Health System, Reed works as a Bedside Artist for the Gifts of Art program and as an artist at the Turner Senior Resource Center. She also volunteers at 826 Michigan in Ann Arbor writing about robots.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester

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.

This 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.

On display January 4-February 25, 2017, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).

This 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.

Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Free and open to the public
Ambiguous 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?
By 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.
Ambiguous 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.

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.

The 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run (January 31, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/31216 31216-5794045@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 31, 2017 11:00am

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

For 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.

The 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.

Lead 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.

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.

Campbell’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.

Throughout 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.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund,
the 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.

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.

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.

In 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Lighting, Cameras, Action: Technological Revolutions in Modern Chinese Theater (January 31, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/37098 37098-6153913@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 31, 2017 12:00pm
Location: School of Social Work Building
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

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.

Tarryn 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.

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.

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.

WCED Lecture. Varieties of Democratic Diffusion: Colonial, Alliance, and Neighbor Networks (January 31, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/36924 36924-5999953@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 31, 2017 4:00pm

Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

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.

Michael 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.

Student Algebraic Geometry (January 31, 2017 5:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/37639 37639-6642217@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 31, 2017 5:10pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

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.

This 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. Speaker(s): Robert Walker (UM)

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. **

Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19
This exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.
This 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.
Vibrant, 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.
Organized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund.
Join 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.

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.

As a part of the University of Michigan bicentennial celebration, this year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite, hand-cut paper creations has a historical perspective. Clark, a former U-M physician, began making pictorial paper snowflakes in 1984, and his first exhibit of these intricate works was at the University of Michigan Rackham Building in 1987, entitled A Hundred Holiday Snowflakes. Works from that show as well as from his first exhibit at the University Hospital in 1988 (including dinosaurs, clowns and patriotic themes) are on display in this retrospective exhibit. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday, January 5 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby, Floor 1.

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

Elaine Reed has been collecting toy robots for over 30 years. As a painter herself, she appreciates the artistic design & futuristic ideas that robots awaken in people. As a child, television programs like Lost in Space, The Jetsons & Star Trek inspired Reed to dream large and wish for a real robot of her own. Although she doesn’t own any real live robots, some of her best friends are robots. At the University of Michigan Health System, Reed works as a Bedside Artist for the Gifts of Art program and as an artist at the Turner Senior Resource Center. She also volunteers at 826 Michigan in Ann Arbor writing about robots.

The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan (February 1, 2017 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/35907 35907-5372250@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2017 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester

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.

This 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.

On display January 4-February 25, 2017, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).

This 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.

Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture, Landscape, and the Postnatural (February 1, 2017 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 44929-10012395@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2017 9:00am
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Free and open to the public
Ambiguous 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?
By 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.
Ambiguous 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.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

The 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run (February 1, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/31216 31216-5794046@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

For 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.

The 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.

Lead 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.

Moving Image: Landscape (February 1, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/36107 36107-5446223@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

Campbell’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.

Throughout 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.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund,

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.

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.

In 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Title: Do Adults Matter? Youth-Adult Relationships in the Lives of Adolescents

Abstract: 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.

The properties of cold dark matter axions strongly depend on the thermal history of the Universe before BBN. 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.

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.

The 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.

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)

I will give a number of standard examples of actions of higher-rank abelian groups on manifold and will discuss a number of geometric objects occurring in algebraic actions and non-linear actions, namely Lyapunov exponents and (coarse) Lyapunov manifolds.

Using such objects and the notion of metric entropy, I'll explain the proof of the following theorem: For any action of SL(n,Z), n>= 3, on a manifold of dimension at most n-2, there always exists an invariant probability measure.

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.

Livingston 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.

About the Article:

On 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.

This is the story of how district leaders turned five once-average schools into Failure Factories.

About the Journalists:

Lisa 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.

Michael 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.

Nathaniel 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.

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.

This is mainly based on a joint work with Anthony Reveillac (INSA Toulouse) and Stephane Villeneuve (TSE). Speaker(s): Dylan Possamai (Paris Dauphine)

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.

In 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.

West Bloomfield Lecture Series: Israel in the World

Every 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?

Rachel 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).

Mammals: Good Day!

Last time, we inspected how Randomness, Privacy, and Generalization relate. To that end, Mas Ioka influenced the electrical configurations inside your brains simply by vibrating his flesh in various ways! MSAIL is a piezoelectric generator. It is surprising, then, that Physics fails to explain that influence: indeed, upon extended observation, those vibrations take on a discrete, non-
parametric, sparse quality beyond the grasp of Calculus. So... how can we understand language?

This week, the Celebrated Chengyu will show us the way. We'll discuss Natural Language Processing. We'll meet:
    3433 EECS, Wednesday, 2017-02-01, 19:00-20:00.
We look forward to seeing you there!

In celebration of Language, let's each bring an NLP idea or question that interests us. It'll enrich the discussion. Naive questions are good.

Mammals: Good Bye!
Mamuel Tenka

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

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.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19
This exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.
This 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.
Vibrant, 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.
Organized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund.
Join 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.

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.

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.

On some days you can find him on the road welding and repairing construction equipment, on other days he will be in his shop creating steel sculpture. Shoemaker’s inspiration is spontaneous and seemingly random, and his interests range from wildlife to guitars. He uses hand tools to cut, hammer, bend, grind and weld his sculptures to life, giving them movement and character.

Elaine Reed has been collecting toy robots for over 30 years. As a painter herself, she appreciates the artistic design & futuristic ideas that robots awaken in people. As a child, television programs like Lost in Space, The Jetsons & Star Trek inspired Reed to dream large and wish for a real robot of her own. Although she doesn’t own any real live robots, some of her best friends are robots. At the University of Michigan Health System, Reed works as a Bedside Artist for the Gifts of Art program and as an artist at the Turner Senior Resource Center.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester

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.

This 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.

On display January 4-February 25, 2017, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).

This 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.

Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture, Landscape, and the Postnatural (February 2, 2017 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 44929-10012396@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 2, 2017 9:00am
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Free and open to the public
Ambiguous 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?
By 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.
Ambiguous 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.

Dr. Levine is Emil Lorch Collegiate Professor at U-M’s Taubman College of 
Architecture and Urban Planning. His research centers on policy reform in transportation and land use. His current work focuses on the transformation of the transportation and land-use planning paradigm from a mobility to an accessibility basis, and includes several sponsored projects and a book. He is also interested in the design of institutions for emerging 
transportation systems – which may be based on self-driving electric vehicles.

Self-driving vehicles could vastly reduce or increase the energy and environmental impact of the transportation system. With the transportation sector accounting for over one-quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, the design of a future system based on self-driving vehicles is critical—and it is already underway. This talk will argue for near-term policy reform to promote the kind of transportation system that will bring the United States closer to its environmental and social goals.

This is the fifth of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Transportation: Don’t Turn in Your Car Keys Yet! The next lecture series starts February 16, 2017. The title is The Library – Civilization’s Treasure House of Knowledge.

Constructing Gender (February 2, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/36710 36710-5794133@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 2, 2017 11:00am

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.

The 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run (February 2, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/31216 31216-5794047@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 2, 2017 11:00am

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

For 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.

The 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.

Lead 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.

Moving Image: Landscape (February 2, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/36107 36107-5446224@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 2, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

Campbell’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.

Throughout 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.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund,
the 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.

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.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

In 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Built in part on such disparate sources as historical works and antique collector guides, historical archaeology has typically been somewhat slow to systematically embrace some elements of technology and materials science which have been influential in prehistoric studies. In this talk, Dr. Chenoweth will share some of his recent and in-progress work exploring the possibilities of technologies to inform anthropological questions about colonialism, race, and power in the nineteenth century Caribbean. This will include preliminary studies using GIS modeling, satellite imagery and NDVI calculations, and spectrophotometric reevaluations of ceramic typologies.

In the past decade, Japan has emerged as one of the world’s most prominent military space powers around. With the inescapable ambiguity of dual-use, Japan has acquired its impressive capabilities in full view of a pacifist public and under constitutional constraints. Today its national security space paradigm is openly and officially sanctioned by the country’s legal and policy orientation. However, these realities are not well understood by Japan’s allies or rivals, which limits our appreciation about what Japan can do in its national security interests both in the region and beyond.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

In Being Mortal, Atul Gawande, MD, discusses “the medicalization of mortality” and its consequences, including loss of independence, separation from loved ones and the financial strains affecting patients and families.

This book discussion group, facilitated by instructor Dr. Sheryl Kurze, a physician with 25 years’ experience in primary and end-of-life care, allows participants to reflect on the care of their loved ones and on the care they may want for themselves in the future. This knowledge will help you consider when less-is-more might be the best care plan possible.

This discussion group for those 50 and over will meet for two hours.

Sander Zwegers defined indefinite theta functions to give a uniform construction and generalization of Ramanujan's "mock theta functions," originally a finite list of q-series satisfying some remarkable identities. I will define indefinite theta functions, harmonic weak Maass forms, and mock modular forms, and explain how they are related. Time permitting, I will discuss some of my own research on Mellin transforms of indefinite theta functions. Speaker(s): Gene Kopp (UM)

These two talks will be suggestive of what my thesis defense will be like, whenever 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.

I expect to give at least one "comical" example of using these results in tandem, possibly involving the perfect number 28. Speaker(s): Robert Walker (University of Michigan)

We will continue on Marcus-Spielman-Srivastava's proof of the existence of infinite many Ramanujan graphs of any degree.
Their main result is: For a bipartite d-regular Ramanujan graph G, there exists a 2 lift of G which is also a bipartite d-regular Ramanujan Graph. The current goal is to show that convex combinations of signed adjacency matrices are real-rooted. The remaining of the proof will rely on multivariable real stable polynomials and linear operators that preserve real stable property. If time permits, we will discuss the proof of max root of a matching (defect) polynomial is bounded by 2\sqrt{d-1} for a d-regular graph. Speaker(s): Han Huang (University of Michigan)

Bicentennial Event - Grand Unveiling: Portrait of Joseph Whiting, First Classics Professor at Michigan (February 2, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/31347 31347-4207672@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 2, 2017 4:00pm

Organized By: Bicentennial Office

Joseph Whiting (1800–45) was the first professor of Greek and Latin languages and one of two original professors when the University of Michigan was reconstituted as a proper university at Ann Arbor in 1841. Whiting, however, died prematurely, just days before the first Michigan class he welcomed was set to graduate. The next year, a funerary monument was erected in his honor, surviving to this day as the oldest monument on our campus. Perhaps due to his untimely death, we possess no record of his image, in contrast with other founding figures of the University. Through original genealogical and archival research, a once-misidentified oil painting was found that is thought to be of Whiting himself. Thanks to the generous support of the Department of Classical Studies, this large, handsome portrait has been acquired to be preserved and displayed in the Department. A talk will recount the discovery process of the painting, the evidence for its identification, and the most complete biography of the man—including how his cenotaph, now called “The Professors’ Monument,” lies at the heart of this serendipitous find.

Karla Goldman, Sol Drachler professor of Social Work and professor of Judaic Studies at U-M, speaks about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the University of Michigan during the Era of Jewish Admissions Quotas, 1925-1939. Kosher reception to follow. About the talk:

Beginning in the 1920s, as Northeastern elite private universities began imposing quotas on the percentage of Jewish students on campus, the University of Michigan became an attractive destination for children of East Coast immigrant families. The University has long pointed to the presence of Jewish students during this period as evidence of its historic commitment to inclusion and diversity.

Efforts by American universities to limit the number of Jews on campus in the early and mid-twentieth century was an important factor in shaping American university admissions policies and education. Understanding how and whether the University of Michigan participated in these exclusionary developments is critical to the history of the University. Professor Goldman discusses evidence drawn from University admissions practices and the religious profile of University of Michigan students in the 1920s and 30s to explore the ways in which the University both welcomed and limited the presence of Jewish students in this period. Given the intense focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in this bicentennial year of the University of Michigan, a better understanding of the University’s historical approach to inclusion and diversity is particularly timely.

We suggest you arrive early or stay late to see the related exhibit, Striving to Stimulate Serious Thought: Jewish Scholarly and Cultural Life at Michigan Across Two Centuries on display in the Special Collections space on the 7th floor of the Hatcher Graduate Library South. The exhibit will stay open late, until 7pm.

When adaptive evolution occurs rapidly it can leave little historical signature with which to trace and reconstruct evolutionary events. However, with the application of genome-scale data we now have unprecedented statistical power to investigate and tease apart even the most rapid cases of evolution, in the form of reconstructed demographic scenarios, or population and species divergences. Here, I will present two cases from flowering plants. First, demonstrating the role of interspecific reproductive interactions in driving diversification of Pedicularis in alpine communities of the Tibetan plateau; and second, demonstrating an association of climatic differences with phenotypic evolution during a radiation of Viburnum in neotropical cloud forests. In both cases, I apply new statistical models to restriction-site associated DNA (RAD-seq), and discuss the benefits and pitfalls of these approaches

Over three decades, Tokiko and Akira have made their home in an alternative community in the woodlands of Hokkaido. Children play in an environment of creative anarchy and adults share ideas on a range of subjects from forest ecosystems to prospects for peace. While the way of living that the Tokumuras have embraced might not appear to be political in the strict sense of the term, the threads of their lives are intertwined with the history of the Japanese left in the second half of the twentieth century. Until recently, scholarship on the Japanese left focused on organizational taxonomies that divided histories of progressive movements. A new cohort of scholars has taken on these boundary issues, looking beyond divisions to discover continuities and connections among a diversity of movements. Drawing on their insights, Professor Pincus will explore the narrative itineraries of Tokiko and Akira through World War II, old and new lefts, local social movements, and alternative communities. Their documented lives add up to a small but revealing archive of conviction and practice on the shores of Japan’s “long left.”

Leslie Pincus is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Michigan. A historian of modern Japan, her research interests span intellectual, cultural, social, and environmental history. Professor Pincus has written on the intersections of philosophy, culture, and politics during the interwar years in Japan. She has also published on early postwar cultural and social democratization. Her current project charts a genealogy of social movements extending from the early twentieth century across the millennium, with a focus on how individual lives become historical and larger histories become intimate. Among her publications are Authenticating Culture in Imperial Japan: Kuki Shuzo and the Rise of National Aesthetics (University of California Press, 1996) and Open to the Public: Studies in Japan's Recent Past, a special issue of positions: east asian cultures critique (April 2002), for which she served as guest editor, author of an introductory essay, and contributor. More recent articles include “Revolution in the Archives of Memory: Founding the National Diet Library in Occupied Japan” in Archives, Documentation, and the Institutions of Social Memory, edited by Francis X. Blouin Jr. and William Rosenberg (University of Michigan Press, 2006), and “On the Shores of Japan’s Postwar Left: An Intimate History” in A New Insurgency: The Port Huron Statement and Its Times; edited by Howard Brick and Gregory Parker (Maize Books, an imprint of Michigan Publishing, 2015).

Abstract:
EU competition appeals typically involve applications by private businesses to annul decisions made by the European Commission. Moreover, these appeals are first assigned at random to a chamber, with a judge then designated as the rapporteur who will be most closely involved with the case. Using hand-collected original data on the background characteristics of EU judges and on competition judgments by the General Court between 1989 to 2015, we find that the legal origins of judges bear a statistically significant correlation with case outcomes and that the rapporteur plays a crucial role in the decision-making process. In particular, if a rapporteur comes from a country whose administrative law has a strong French influence, the decision is more likely to favor the Commission than if he is from any other EU country. These results are robust to alternative political ideology variables, including left-right politics and a preference for European integration.

Given a non-linear action of a discrete group on a torus, one can always construct a linearized action by toral automorphisms. We ask under what conditions do these actions coincide after a change of coordinates. With F. Rodriguez Hertz and Z. Wang, we show in a recent paper that for actions of SL(n,Z), n>= 3, under a suitable lifting hypothesis and assuming the action on homology is hyperbolic, such a change of coordinates exists intertwining the non-linear and linear actions (when restricted to finite index subgroups).

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.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

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.

Panelists:

Maryam Aziz, Ph.D. Candidate in American Culture

Nitin Garg, Ph.D. Candidate in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering, & Scientific Computing

Dr. Mark Kamimura-Jimenez, Assistant Dean, Rackham Graduate School

Nessa is a Celtic fusion group led by multi-instrumentalist/vocalist, Kelly McDermott, known for her dazzling flute technique and beautiful, soulful voice. She is joined by co-founder/multi-instrumentalist Rob Crozier to research and arrange the music of Nessa. This hard-working team re-imagines the ballads and dances of the UK and Europe, uniquely blending elements of classical, folk, jazz, funk and world music to create rich, complex musical hybrids. With no shortage of virtuosity, Nessa includes some of southeastern Michigan’s hottest players. The band moves audiences with funky reels, barn-burner jigs, and deep, soulful glimpses of old stories. Nessa has a mystical, dreamy side akin to the music of Loreena McKennitt, an energetic aspect not unlike Solas, and a touch of global fusion a la Pentangle and Eileen Ivers. Says Trinity House's Bill Keith: "These world-class musicians bring the energy of world music, the thought-provoking nature of folk music, and the edge of rock to create something that is truly unique. You'll leave the show captivated by Kelly's beautiful voice and the stunning music of Nessa."

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19
This exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.
This 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.
Vibrant, 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.
Organized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund.
Join 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.

Location: Cancer Center
Organized By: Gifts of Art

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.

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.

As a part of the University of Michigan bicentennial celebration, this year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite, hand-cut paper creations has a historical perspective. Clark, a former U-M physician, began making pictorial paper snowflakes in 1984, and his first exhibit of these intricate works was at the University of Michigan Rackham Building in 1987, entitled A Hundred Holiday Snowflakes. Works from that show as well as from his first exhibit at the University Hospital in 1988 (including dinosaurs, clowns and patriotic themes) are on display in this retrospective exhibit. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday, January 5 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby, Floor 1.

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

Elaine Reed has been collecting toy robots for over 30 years. As a painter herself, she appreciates the artistic design & futuristic ideas that robots awaken in people. As a child, television programs like Lost in Space, The Jetsons & Star Trek inspired Reed to dream large and wish for a real robot of her own. Although she doesn’t own any real live robots, some of her best friends are robots. At the University of Michigan Health System, Reed works as a Bedside Artist for the Gifts of Art program and as an artist at the Turner Senior Resource Center. She also volunteers at 826 Michigan in Ann Arbor writing about robots.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester

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.

This 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.

On display January 4-February 25, 2017, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).

This 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.

The middle passage was never the exclusive (or most terrible) means by which Africans or men and women of African descent circulated through the Atlantic World. Even as slavery remained an institution share by most American colonies or independent nations, Africans boarded ships to Louisiana, Guiana, Saint-Domingue, and Brazil. They had interests in these places (familial, commercial, religious, etc.) and thus risked travel and its consequences. Slaves, of course, also circulated as sailors, domestics, and fugitives. Some were sent to Europe as gifts or to learn a new skill. After successive abolitions of slavery, Africans came to the Americas, sometimes on the same boats that preceding generations had travelled as captives. Their status was that of indenture servants, “rescued” from slavery in Africa to work (quitelike slaves) in the plantations of post-slavery New World. These many ways of crossing the oceans and seas will be our topic. We will unveil them to understand how they have been important, early dimensions of the Black Atlantic.

Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Free and open to the public
Ambiguous 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?
By 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.
Ambiguous 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.

The Introduction to Customer Discovery course is a taste of the Lean LaunchPad method to give faculty the basic knowledge of how to properly conduct customer discovery interviews; the first step in the commercialization process. This course covers the two main concepts in I-Corps: value propositions and customer segments. By defining what these two concepts mean as it relates to a given technology, it provides the framework that any faculty member will need to go on to the National I-Corps program.

Eric Slauter, Director of The Karla Scherer Center for the Study of American Culture, Associate Professor of English at the University of Chicago, focuses his scholarship chiefly on transformations in political thought and behavior in the eighteenth century. He has a strong interest in the material history of books, and completed a project, Walden’s Carbon Footprint: People, Plants, Animals, and Machines in the Making of an American Classic. A blend of environmental, labor, and literary history, the project examines the supply-chain of raw materials in the 1854 first edition of Thoreau’s book (from cotton-based paper and linen thread to animal-skin glue), considers the many people who contributed to its production (including enslaved African-Americans in the South, commodity brokers, northern mill workers, European rag-pickers, and women and children in the printing trades), and reflects on the literary genealogy of our contemporary desire to know the origin as well as the environmental and social impact of objects in our daily lives. Eric will also be lecturing on Thursday, Febuary 2 at 4:00 PM at Angell Hall, Room 3154 on his project Walden’s Carbon Footprint: People, Plants, Animals, and Machines in the Making of an American Classic.

Cathleen Baker, Conservation Librarian Emerita (U of M), is a paper and book conservator and educator for more than forty-five years in England and the United States. She is the author of numerous articles and books including By His Own Labor: The Biography of Dard Hunter (2000) and the award-winning From the Hand to the Machine. Nineteenth-Century American Paper and Mediums: Technologies, Materials, and Conservation (2010).

Susan (Scotti) Parrish - Susan Scott Parrish is an Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature and the Program in the Environment at the University of Michigan; she is also a Fellow at the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute (UM).

Constructing Gender (February 3, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/36710 36710-5794134@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

The 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run (February 3, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/31216 31216-5794048@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

For 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.

The 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.

Lead 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.



Lead 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.

Moving Image: Landscape (February 3, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/36107 36107-5446225@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

Campbell’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.

Throughout 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.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund,
the 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.

Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection (February 3, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/35430 35430-5224454@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

The Aesthetic Movement (February 3, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/34762 34762-4987803@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

In 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series. On anti-mindfulness versus wound-as-guide: competing figures of lay and ascetic coping with chronic pain in Thailand (February 3, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/35184 35184-5132302@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2017 12:00pm
Location: School of Social Work Building
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

In the last ten years, there has been a worldwide surge in mindfulness as an approach to coping with chronic pain, fueled partly by a turn away from opiates for palliation and toward more functionality-based models that require pain sufferers to incorporate their pain into daily life. In this talk, I use fieldwork with chronic pain patients in Thailand to question the core assumptions of this mindfulness movement, as well some core assumptions in contemporary scholarship on Buddhism, with dramatic stakes for individuals navigating lives full of pain. Chronic pain patients in Thailand have almost universally concluded that mindfulness as a practice worsens their pain, and have thus turned instead to various forms of "anti-mindful" but deeply Buddhist practice, combining various chimeras of Buddhist teachings on loving-kindness, karma and non-self instead to help them manage their pain. I compare the experiences of these practitioners to ascetic monks also suffering from chronic pain, who have begun to use their pain to unsettle the assumed relationship between suffering and enlightenment, pointing to the brutal reality of liberation as an all-or-nothing state of being. I include a in-depth analysis of one monk, who uses his own tumor with a dramatic wound as a teaching tool to demonstrate this paradox about enlightenment. The result of this analysis is a new way of viewing "Buddhisms" as multiple overlapping and contingent ways of viewing the world that practitioners -- lay and monastic alike -- constantly reconfigure to deal with the ever-changing reality of their pain. As a practicing physician, I conclude with the stakes of this debate both for my own care for chronic pain patients in clinics in Thailand and the U.S., and for the global quest to find non-pharmacological technologies to guide the way through painful lives.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

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.

Featuring:
Michelle McClellan (Assistant Professor, History, Residential College)
Jonathan Farr (Lecturer, History)
Nora Krinitsky (Doctoral Candidate, History)
Emily Price (Doctoral Candidate, History)
Kate Silbert (Doctoral Candidate, History and Women's Studies)

Free and open to the public. Lunch provided.

The 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.

Some scientific hypotheses can be empirically well-supported and value-laden. How? Much depends on the nature of empirical support, and the definition of values. I have argued that values can function as empirical claims, and that where relevant and well-supported by evidence, values can increase the empirical strength of particular scientific theories. My argument has been referred to as the “values as evidence” approach. This approach is particularly important for explaining the salutary effects in scientific research of some feminist values, and the negative effects of all sexist values. In this paper I respond to recent feminist concerns with my approach. In defense of the values as evidence view, I focus on the need to rethink the nature of our political values, including our feminist values. We need to examine where even our most cherished political values come from and why we hold them. This means recognizing the contingency of our values, and the importance of subjecting them to critical scrutiny. I show that the evidence-based nature of these values is neither a weakness nor an idealization. Abandoning the quest for certainty, embracing pragmatic inquiry, muddling through with our fallible inductive inferences, these are the best practices we’ve got, in science as in politics, and perhaps especially in politically-informed science. As the history of political revolution reminds us, it’s also our only hope.

The mean first exit time, escape probability and transitional probability density are utilized to quantify dynamical behaviors of stochastic differential equations with non-Gaussian, alpha-stable type Levy motions. Taking advantage of the Toeplitz matrix structure of the time-space discretization, a fast and accurate numerical algorithm is proposed to simulate the nonlocal Fokker-Planck equations on either a bounded or infinite domain. Under a specified condition, the scheme is shown to satisfy a discrete maximum principle and to be convergent. The numerical results for two prototypical stochastic systems, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck system and the double-well system are shown. Speaker(s): Xiaofan Li (Illinois Institute of Technology)

The Zimmer Program is a collection of conjectures and questions regarding actions of lattices in higher-rank simple Lie groups on compact manifolds. For instance, it is conjectured that all non-trivial volume-preserving actions are built from algebraic examples using standard constructions. In particular --- on manifolds whose dimension is below the dimension of all algebraic examples --- Zimmer's conjecture asserts that every action is finite. With D. Fisher, S. Hurtado, we recently solved Zimmer's conjecture for actions of cocompact lattices in Sl(n,R), n>=3.

I will give an overview of our proof and explain some of the ingredients used in that proof: Zimmer cocycle superrigidity, Ratner's measure classification theorem, strong property (T), and smooth ergodic theory
of actions of higher-rank abelian groups. Speaker(s): Aaron Brown (Univ of Chicago)

The black hole information paradox is really a combination of two problems: the causality paradox and the entanglement problem. The causality paradox arises because in the semiclassical approximation infalling matter gets causally trapped inside its own horizon; it is therefore unable to send its information back to infinity if we disallow propagation outside the light cone. We show that the causality paradox can be resolved by local effects in the fuzzball paradigm, and contrast this resolution with other proposed paradigms where nonlocal effects like wormholes are required to exist.

Ryle-ing the Irreal: sensory imagining as knowing about sensing (February 3, 2017 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/37089 37089-6153904@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2017 3:00pm

Gilbert Ryle claims that perception involves both sensation and thought. Sensory imagining, he holds, though usually considered to involve something like the recreation of sensation, in fact involves only the deployment of perceptual thought. Ryle thus offers the most radical alternative to the account of imagining that has dominated thinking in both philosophy and psychology.

Ultimately, Ryle’s radical anti-sensationalism proves untenable. Nonetheless, in theorizing the imagination much can be learned from his emphasis on the role of thought or knowledge, and his de-emphasisising the role of anything like sensation. I try to say more about the kind of knowledge in play, and to use that to capture various important aspects of sensory imagining. I concede that perceptual thought alone cannot be all there is to such imaginative states. The residue can be distinguished sharply from perceptual sensation, and its role in imagining can
be circumscribed, but its existence must be acknowledged.

Let A be an abelian group. A colored sum free set of A is a list (a_1,b_1,c_1), (a_2,b_2,c_2), ..., (a_N,b_N,c_N) of triples of elements of A such that a_i+b_j+c_k=0 if and only if i=j=k. Extremal combinatorialists aim to construct large colored sum-free sets, both because it is fun and because it has applications in the construction of fast matrix multiplication algorithms. Note that, if X is a subset of A with no three term arithmetic progressions, then the set of (x,-2x,x) for x in X is a colored sum-free set, so bounds on colored sum-free sets are in particular bounds on sets without 3-term arithmetic progressions. Until May of 2016, the best such bounds were of the form A^(1-o(1)). Last May, Ellenberg and Gijswijt, building on work of Croot, Lev and Pach, proved bounds of the form A^c for c Speaker(s): David Speyer (U. Michigan)

The recent MW 7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake in New Zealand was one of the largest in New Zealand history and produced some of the largest surface displacements ever observed in a continental earthquake. Initial observations of faulting and landsliding are troublesome to the hazards community. Surface rupture of at least nine different faults, both on land and offshore, accommodated upper plate transpression at the interface between continental strike-slip faulting and subduction. The complex and widespread array of faults that ruptured have virtually every possible orientation and slip sense, ranging from sinistral normal to pure strike-slip and dextral reverse faults. The earthquake involved coeval rupture of both low slip rate (< 1 mm yr-1) and high slip rate (~20 mm yr-1) faults, ruptured through some preexisting fault scarps while passing over others, and jumped over important plate boundary faults. Over 80,000 landslides and have been identified, with hundreds damming streams and potentially posing a flooding hazard in the coming months. Some of the largest landslides were seemingly related to fault surface rupture rather than strong ground motions. Determining the relationship between fault structure at depth, surface rupture patterns, strong ground motions, fault triggering mechanisms, and landslide hazard are key research directions that are being explored. Lessons from this earthquake other recent earthquakes in New Zealand have important implications for seismic hazard.

For Surendranatha Dasgupta and his contemporaries in late colonial and early post-colonial India, the “impossible meeting” of East and West was not an abstract puzzle in the theory of interculturalism but a challenge to find an authentic interpretation of lived experience. What does authenticity consist in for a thinker as much rooted in two life-worlds, and as much thereby alienated from either? In the philosophical and non-philosophical writings of S. Dasgupta, K.C. Bhattacharya, A.C. Mukherji, S. Radhakrishnan, and others, questions of selfhood and subjectivity became, for good reason, dominant preoccupations. I will speak about their explorations of the phenomenology of interjacency and its relationship to the search for authenticity.

Jonardon Ganeri’s research interests are in consciousness, self, attention, the epistemology of inquiry, the idea of philosophy as a practice and its relationship with literary form, case-based reasoning, multiple-category ontologies, non-classical logics, realism in the theory of meaning, the history of ideas in early modern South Asia, the polycentricity of modernity, cosmopolitanism and cross-cultural hermeneutics, intellectual affinities between India, Greece and China, and early Buddhist philosophy of mind. Ganeri teaches courses in the philosophy of mind, the nature of subjectivity, Buddhist philosophy, the history of Indian philosophical traditions. He also supervises PhDs on Indian philosophical texts in classical Sanskrit.

Ganeri’s books include Attention, Not Self; The Self: Naturalism, Consciousness, and the First-Person Stance; The Lost Age of Reason: Philosophy in Early Modern India 1450–1700; The Concealed Art of the Soul; and Philosophy in Classical India: The Proper Work of Reason. He has published in Mind, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, the Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Isis, New Literary History, Philosophy and Literature, Synthese, Analysis, Philosophy, in major Indology journals, and is on the editorial boards of The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Philosophy East & West, Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research, the Journal of Hindu Studies and other journals and monograph series. Ganeri is currently editing the Oxford Handbook of Indian Philosophy, drafting scripts about Indian Philosophy for the podcast History of Philosophy without any Gaps, and thinking about philosophy, cosmopolitanism, and anti-coloniality.

Ganeri advocates an expanded role for cross-cultural methodologies in philosophical research, together with enhanced cultural diversity in the philosophical curriculum. He strives to collaborate with philosophers, phenomenologists, cognitive scientists, historians, anthropologists, sinologists, persianists, buddhologists, classicists, and logicians. Ganeria is an Affiliated Faculty member of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. He is a Fellow of the British Academy, and laureate of the Infosys Prize in the Humanities. He has been named by Open Magazine one of India’s “50 Open Minds” in 2016.

This talk explores the continuity of musical associations and conventions throughout the early modern Hispanic world in the time of Miguel de Cervantes, using both live and recorded musical examples. Points of contact between the real world and a densely woven imaginary world are plentiful in Cervantes’ writings. Cervantes relies on the power of music and its ability to deceive or surprise. Every strum of the guitar may bring several possible hearings. His work is embedded in an incompletely recovered musical tradition whose traces are audible, though unwritten improvisatory practices shaped performance and conveyed meaning across social levels and geography. See January 29 for more information on the festival.

ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING (February 4, 2017 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/37563 37563-6629387@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 4, 2017 8:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19
This exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.
This 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.
Vibrant, 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.
Organized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund.
Join 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.

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.

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.

As a part of the University of Michigan bicentennial celebration, this year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite, hand-cut paper creations has a historical perspective. Clark, a former U-M physician, began making pictorial paper snowflakes in 1984, and his first exhibit of these intricate works was at the University of Michigan Rackham Building in 1987, entitled A Hundred Holiday Snowflakes. Works from that show as well as from his first exhibit at the University Hospital in 1988 (including dinosaurs, clowns and patriotic themes) are on display in this retrospective exhibit. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday, January 5 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby, Floor 1.

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

Elaine Reed has been collecting toy robots for over 30 years. As a painter herself, she appreciates the artistic design & futuristic ideas that robots awaken in people. As a child, television programs like Lost in Space, The Jetsons & Star Trek inspired Reed to dream large and wish for a real robot of her own. Although she doesn’t own any real live robots, some of her best friends are robots. At the University of Michigan Health System, Reed works as a Bedside Artist for the Gifts of Art program and as an artist at the Turner Senior Resource Center. She also volunteers at 826 Michigan in Ann Arbor writing about robots.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester

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.

This 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.

On display January 4-February 25, 2017, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).

This 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.

Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture, Landscape, and the Postnatural (February 4, 2017 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 44929-10012398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 4, 2017 9:00am
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Free and open to the public
Ambiguous 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?
By 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.
Ambiguous 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.

Saturday Morning Physics | Topological Insulators: An Unexpected State of Matter (February 4, 2017 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/37110 37110-6153928@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 4, 2017 10:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Saturday Morning Physics

One of the greatest triumphs of the 20th century was development of quantum theory solids, which allowed us to understand why some materials are electrically insulating whereas others are conductors. To the surprise of all physicists, we now know that there is a new class of materials, known as topological insulators, that likes to be both. Topological insulators are expected to have an insulating bulk and topologically protected surface states, with many unique properties. Professor Kurdak will expose some of the beautiful features of this unexpected state of matter, using examples from a broad range of recent experiments including from his own research on samarium hexaboride.

Constructing Gender (February 4, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/36710 36710-5794135@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 4, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

The 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run (February 4, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/31216 31216-5794049@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 4, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

For 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.

The 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.

Lead 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.

Moving Image: Landscape (February 4, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/36107 36107-5446226@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 4, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

Campbell’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.

Throughout 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.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund,
the 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.

Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection (February 4, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/35430 35430-5224455@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 4, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

The Aesthetic Movement (February 4, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/34762 34762-4987804@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 4, 2017 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

In 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.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.
