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

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

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

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.

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012396@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170126T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170202T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170202T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Design & Production Portfolio Review Exhibition DESCRIPTION:This exhibition runs Monday through Friday 10:00 AM-6:00 PM and Sunday 1:00-5:00 PM.\n\nCome see the wide range of work presented by our advanced design & production students.

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.\n\nSelf-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.\n\nThis 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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. \n\nSaadia M.

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.

Kosher reception to follow. About the talk:\n\nBeginning 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. \n\nEfforts 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.\n\nWe 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.

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\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.\n\nWatch YouTube video: https://youtu.be/cZ-cwSsLokE UID:36323-5562274@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36323 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170127T134710 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170202T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170202T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"On the Shores of Japan’s Postwar Left: An Intimate History\" DESCRIPTION: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.” \n\nLeslie 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.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nEU 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.

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).\n\nI will explain the construction of the linearized action\, the statement of our main theorems\, and indicate the main ideas in our proof.

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

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

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

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. \n\n- Céline Flory (EHESS\, visiting professor in the Department of History): “Emancipation without Freedom: The Practice of African Captive ‘Repurchase’ in the French Post-slavery Era”\n- Jessica Marie Johnson (John Hopkins University): “Crossings/La Traversée: African Women in New Orleans' Atlantic World before 1769”\n- Jennifer Palmer (University of Georgia): “The Other Side of the Atlantic: Slavery and Servitude in Eighteenth-Century La Rochelle.”\n\nChair:\n- Martha Jones (University of Michigan)\nComments:\n- Jean Hébrard (EHESS and University of Michigan).

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012397@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170201T090632 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170203T091500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170203T163000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:CJS/IPC Conference | Japan's Economic and Security Policy in the Trump Era DESCRIPTION:For complete conference information\, please see: http://ii.umich.edu/cjs/news-events/events/conferences-and-workshops/japan-s-economic-and-security-policy-in-the-trump-era.html\n\nThis conference will convene experts to discuss Japan’s macroeconomic\, trade and security policy\, explore the implications of the U.S. election and other key recent developments\, and consider Japan’s prospects and policy options going forward.

Panelists will share stories about their experiences using archives and discuss how archival work can facilitate cross-disciplinary efforts in the humanities. \n\nPanelists:\n\nEric 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.\n\nCathleen 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). \n\nSusan (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). Her book American Curiosity: Cultures of Natural History in the Colonial British Atlantic World (UNCP\, 2006) was awarded the Jamestown Prize and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize\; the Emerson prize is given by the Phi Beta Kappa Society to one book each year for its contribution to understanding “the intellectual and cultural condition of humanity.” UID:37972-6814974@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37972 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Dissertation,Education,Graduate,Graduate School,History,Information and Technology,Literature,Majors,Rackham,Research,Undergraduate LOCATION:William Clements Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170201T121852 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170203T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170203T140000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Asian Languages Fair DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning more about the Asian languages taught at the University of Michigan? The Department of Asian Languages and Cultures invites you to the Asian Languages Fair\, featuring guests from the Chinese Language Program\, Japanese Language Program\, Korean Language Program\, South Asian Language Program\, and Southeast Asian Language Program. There will be live cultural performances and opportunities to win raffle prizes.\n\nThis year\, the language programs will also be offering short mini-lessons during the fair.

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

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

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

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

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

On anti-mindfulness versus wound-as-guide: competing figures of lay and ascetic coping with chronic pain in Thailand DESCRIPTION: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.

The challenge then became interpreting those stories for a visual medium\, linking them thematically\, and constructing a physical exhibit that conveyed those connections.

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.\n\nPresented by IRWG's Feminist Science Studies program.

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.

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.\n\nI 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\nof actions of higher-rank abelian groups.

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.

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.\n\nUltimately\, 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\nbe circumscribed\, but its existence must be acknowledged.

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.

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.

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.\n\nJonardon 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.

Stein\, musicology DESCRIPTION: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.

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

Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place.

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

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012398@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170204T120107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170204T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170204T140000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:2017 NCTTA Ohio East Divisional Championships DESCRIPTION:NCTTA tournament.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012399@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170629T121744 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170205T103000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Michigan Women's Tennis vs. No. 18 Texas DESCRIPTION:Michigan Women's Tennis vs. No. 18 Texas UID:34275-4901093@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34275 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Women's Tennis LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161208T125848 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170205T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170205T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Government agencies\, clinicians\, and researchers have identified the need to increase access to formal mental health services for underserved populations. However\, structural and attitudinal barriers prevent many people from accessing services even when they perceive a need for treatment. The current research talk describes the development of an empirically-informed model of help seeking (the Integrated Model of Seeking Help\; IMoSH)\, to describe how various factors may influence decisions to seek professional mental health services. It is hoped that the development of a comprehensive model of help seeking will move research beyond the identification of demographic predictors of service utilization and toward an understanding of contextual factors at the individual and societal levels.\nResearch studies examining the role of culture in help seeking will be presented. Lastly\, future work will be proposed to move the mental health care field forward in its efforts to reduce health disparities for ethnic minority populations.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012400@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170126T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170206T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170206T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Design & Production Portfolio Review Exhibition DESCRIPTION:This exhibition runs Monday through Friday 10:00 AM-6:00 PM and Sunday 1:00-5:00 PM.\n\nCome see the wide range of work presented by our advanced design & production students.

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

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

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

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

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

(John's position) Then\,\nthere exists a polytope P with $O(n^2)$ facets satisfying $K\subset P \subset nK$. In the case when $K$ is symmetric\, then\, we can reduce the coefficient n to $\sqrt{n}$.\n\nRecently\, Barvinok generalize this method to get a sharp result: For any symmetric convex body K\, there exists a polytope with $m$ facets such that \n$K\subset P \subset C\sqrt{\frac{n}{\log(m/n)}}K$. \n\nIn this talk\, we will present the following result in the non-symmetric cases: \nLet $n>R_n\ge 1$ be a sequence such that $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \frac{R_n}{n}=0$. For a sufficiently large \n$n$\, we can construct a convex body $K\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with $B_2^n$ is the maximal volume ellipsoid lies inside $K$ such that there \nis no $P$\, polytope with a polynomial number of facets in $n$ such that $K\subset P\subset R_nK$.\n\nThis result is related to approximating convex bodies by polytopes with few facets the sense of Banach-Mazur distance. In particular\, it indicates that the center of John ellipsoid is not a good choice of center (of scaling) comparing to the center of mass.

Most studies attribute this and other restrictive laws to France’s republican secular tradition. The speaker will explore a different explanation in this talk. Drawing from a variety of sources\, including interviews with politicians\, activists and other public figures\, she proposes that the 2010 ban arose in significant part out of French political parties’ struggle to demarcate the boundaries of legitimate politics in the face of an ultra-right electoral threat. In particular\, she suggests that in seeking to prevent the ultra-right National Front party from monopolizing the religious signs issue\, France’s major right and left parties agreed to portray republicanism as requiring the exclusion of face veiling from public space. Because it was forged in conflict\, however\, the agreement thus generated is highly fractured and unstable. It conceals ongoing conflict\, both between and within political parties\, over the precise meaning(s) of French republican nationhood. \n\nEmily Laxer is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Sociology at the University of Michigan\, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Her research bridges the sociological study of politics\, nationalism\, immigration and gender to examine how contests for political power shape the way national governments respond to debates around immigrants’ religious signs. She approaches this topic by interrogating the role of state and civil society actors in the contested process of producing nationhood in diverse societies\, mainly France and Canada (including Québec). Laxer received her Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Toronto in December 2015. Her research has been published in \"Nations and Nationalism\,\" the \"Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies\,\" \"Recherches Sociographiques\,\" as well as in edited volumes.

It is believed that additional sources of CP-violation may be needed to explain the apparent scarcity of antimatter in the universe. A particularly sensitive and unambiguous signature of both time-reversal- (T) and CP-violation would be the existence of an electric dipole moment (EDM). The next generation of EDM searches in a variety of complimentary systems will have unprecedented sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model. My talk will focus on certain rare diamagnetic atoms which have octupole-deformed (pear-shaped) nuclei. This uncommon nuclear structure significantly amplifies the observable effect of T\, P\, & CP-violation originating within the nuclear medium when compared to isotopes with nearly spherical nuclei such as Mercury-199. Certain isotopes of Radium\, Protactinium\, and Radon are all expected to have enhanced atomic EDMs and will be produced in abundance at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University. I will describe the status of the Radium-225 EDM search located at Argonne National Lab and the prospects of EDM searches using Radon and Protactinium.

It can be thought of as a simple traffic model. It was shown in 2000 that one point fluctuations of TASEP in 1+1 dimensions for certain initial conditions are given by the same distribution function occurring in random matrix theory. This result was obtained from a remarkable Fredholm determinant formula of the marginal distribution. We will discuss a proof of this Fredholm determinant formula using the so-called coordinate Bethe ansatz method developed by Schutz\, Rakos\, Tracy\, and Widom.

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

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

Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012401@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170126T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170207T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170207T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Design & Production Portfolio Review Exhibition DESCRIPTION:This exhibition runs Monday through Friday 10:00 AM-6:00 PM and Sunday 1:00-5:00 PM.\n\nCome see the wide range of work presented by our advanced design & production students.

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

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

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

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

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

This talk investigates a set of mural paintings depicting Śākyamuni’s life from Mogao cave 61 as a window onto these transformations of cultic and artistic practices. Based on the Sūtra of the Collection of Authentic Deeds of the Buddha (Fo benxing ji jing佛本行集經\, T. 190)\, Mogao 61 contains thirty-three individuated screens (pingfeng 屏風) forming the most extensive singular collection of visual representations of Śākyamuni’s biography in medieval China. Analyzed in conjunction with the canonical scripture\, liturgical texts\, and with other contemporaneous depictions of Buddha’s life from Mogao\, these screens provide nuanced insight into the conceptualization of Śākyamuni and his foundational role in cultic life at Dunhuang. \n \nNeil Schmid’s research centers on the medieval Chinese archaeological site of Dunhuang and the interplay of text\, image\, and ritual in Buddhism. He is currently Guest Professor at the University of Vienna.

Given the widespread notions about “CCP propaganda” or “Maoist gender discourse” that always assume an authorship of a faceless patriarchal Party state authority\, this talk will bring feminist producers of gendered “propaganda” back to the historical process to highlight socialist feminist transformation of a patriarchal culture. Changes in visual representation signify changed power relations of gender and class\, changed constitution of gender and class subjectivities\, as well as changed nature of the state. The talk is based on Prof. Wang’s new book Finding Women in the State: A Socialist Feminist Revolution in the People’s Republic of China\, 1949-1964 (UC Press\, 2016)\, which presents the first investigation of high politics in the CCP from a gender perspective.\n\nWang Zheng is Professor of Women's Studies and History and Research Scientist at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at University of Michigan. She is the author of Finding Women in the State: A Socialist Feminist Revolution in the People’s Republic of China\, 1949-1964\; Women in the Chinese Enlightenment: Oral and Textual Histories and the coeditor of From the Soil: The Foundations of Chinese Society\; Translating Feminisms in China\; and Some of Us: Chinese Women Growing Up in the Mao Era.

Evaluating the Impact of Constitutional Rights DESCRIPTION:Policy-makers\, political theorists\, and lawyers have long viewed constitutional rights as important safeguards against abuses of government authority. Given the importance of constitutional rights in curbing power\, it is probably no surprise that substantial time and resources are devoted to drafting bills of rights. Indeed\, the past several decades have seen a sweeping expansion of constitutional rights protections\; between World War II and today\, the average number of rights in national constitutions more than doubled.\n \nTheir importance notwithstanding\, we know remarkably little about whether constitutional rights actually make a difference. As numerous countries­––ranging from South Sudan to Myanmar to Iceland––are debating new bills of rights\, neither policy-makers nor academics know much about which rights actually make a difference and under what conditions they are most effective. For example\, when a constitution enshrines a prohibition on torture\, do governments actually torture less? Or when a constitution promises a right to health care\, does that increase government spending on health care? Perhaps more importantly\, under what circumstances do constitutional rights make a difference\, and when do they fail? Are some rights more effective than others? \n \nThe question whether constitutional rights matter is the topic of my book manuscript in progress. It presents findings from quantitative analysis of the impact of 10 different constitutional rights provisions in 188 countries over a 30 year period. One of the main findings is that rights that are practiced within organizations\, such as the right to unionize or the right to form political parties\, are particularly effective in constraining power. The distinctive feature of such “organizational rights” is that they do not merely represent a substantive policy preference for a particular right\, but also aid the establishment of organizations that have the incentives to safeguard the right as well as the means to act strategically to protect it from government repression. For example\, the right to unionize is practiced within trade unions. If the government were to encroach on this right\, unions could mobilize their constituents to take the streets\, lobby the political opposition\, or bring their case to court. Other examples include the right to form political parties\, with is organized by political parties\, and the freedom of religion\, which tends to be practiced within churches\, mosques\, synagogues\, and other religious organizations. By contrast\, individual rights\, such as the freedom of speech or the prohibition of torture\, do not appear to constrain government behavior. To further unpack these findings\, the book manuscript will also present case studies and results from survey experiments. \n \nMila Versteeg joined the Law School in 2011.

We are going to see several examples of such mappings defined on various classes of groups as well as ways to calculate the Euler characteristic of groups which split over finite subgroups. In many cases\, the Euler characteristic of a group is non-zero and therefore we obtain information about the isomorphism classes of subgroups. In this direction\, we see also applications for self maps of manifolds.

Using such highly excited atomic states requires addressing challenges posed by the dense spectrum of Rydberg levels\, the detrimental effects of spontaneous emission\, and strong interactions. A full understanding of the scope and limitations of many Rydberg-based proposals requires including these effects\, which typically cannot be described by a mean-field treatment due to correlations in the quantum coherent and dissipative processes. We study a driven\, dissipative system of Rydberg atoms in a 3D optical lattice\, and observe substantial deviation from single-particle excitation rates. We attribute these effects to unavoidable blackbody-induced transitions to nearby Rydberg states of opposite parity\, which have large\, resonant dipole-dipole interactions with the state of interest. Even at low densities of Rydberg atoms\, uncontrolled production of atoms in other states significantly modifies the transition energies of the remaining atoms. These off-diagonal exchange interactions result in complex many-body states of the system and have implications for off-resonant Rydberg dressing proposals.

Reading the Ruins: Two Poems on the Arch of Ctesiphon DESCRIPTION:On the banks of the Tigris river\, the Sasanian Empire left an iconic monument called the Arch of Khosrow (Taq-i-Kasra or Iwan Kisra)\, whose vault towered like the heavens at 121 feet. Two poets\, al-Buhturi (d. 897) and Khaqani (d. 1190)\, gravitated toward this site and composed two timeless odes\, one in Arabic and the other in Persian\, on the Arch as a memorial to a bygone civilization — or the very idea of civilization itself. In these poems\, we find that Time (and Fate) play an ominous role\, crushing the genius and labor of human beings on both an individual and collective scale. How\, then\, do the two poets respond to this? How do the ravages of Time generate new ethical and political imperatives for humanity? In this workshop\, we place the poems in conversation with each other in order to address these and other questions of art\, life\, and meaning. Professors Samer Ali and Cameron Cross will present and discuss their own translations of these poems.\n\nPlease RSVP to Saquib Usman at susman@umich.edu.

Nitrification is the root of tremendous economic loss in agriculture as well as a major ecological hazard via nitrogenous eutrophication. Molecular details concerning the elementary\, multi-electron chemical steps whereby ammonia is oxidized to hydroxylamine and ultimately to nitrite remain elusive. This may be attributable in part to the difficulty associated with accessing sufficient quantities of relevant enzymes for biophysical characterization. Nevertheless\, such insights are attractive because they hold the promise of inspiring novel\, green chemical methods for difficult bond activations and multi-electron transformations. This talk will describe our investigation of the crucial molecular steps of nitrification revealed through the application of rapid kinetics\, spectroscopy\, and electronic structure calculations. Key insights include the establishment of a direct link between nitrification and nitrous oxide pollution\, the identification of important intermediates in hydroxylamine oxidation by both Fe\, and a revision of the enzymatic steps involved in hydroxylamine oxidation. The seminar will conclude with reinterpretation of the electronic structure of high-valent copper–oxygen species toward rationalizing competence of these species for challenging E–H bond activations.\nKyle Lancaster (Cornell University) UID:31414-4260674@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31414 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170116T083505 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170207T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170207T190000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Michigan in Washington Info Session DESCRIPTION:In the Eldersveld Room UID:37802-6706229@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37802 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics LOCATION:Haven Hall - 5670 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170123T123557 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170207T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170207T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Philosophy of Science Lecture: How to be a Relativistic Statespace Realist DESCRIPTION:Lecture UID:38159-6967887@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38159 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Angell Hall - 4207 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170202T105339 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170207T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170207T174000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"The Political Psychology of Israeli Prime Ministers\" DESCRIPTION:Do leaders matter?

Using logarithmic geometry we may\, in particular\, categorify the well-known notion of toroidal embeddings\, which has proved incredibly useful to the study of degenerations of algebraic varieties (e.g. when proving semistable reduction etc.).\n\nThe purpose of this talk is to give an introduction to logarithmic geometry\, only assuming basic toric geometry on the level of the first chapter of Fulton's book. Armed with these techniques\, we can then explore one of the most immediate applications of these techniques\, the construction of the moduli space of logarithmically smooth curves as well as its connection to the classical Deligne-Knudsen-Mumford moduli space of stable curves with marked points.

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

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

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

These promise zones offer free tuition and fees to at least an associate degree for all eligible high school graduates within the promise zone. Unlike the Kalamazoo Promise\, however\, the scholarship designs of these promise programs are last-dollar and are mainly concentrated at the community college level so they may not appeal to all students within the school district. Given the requirements to become operational\, the promise zones started in a rolling pattern with Baldwin as the first promise zone in 2010 and Muskegon ISD as the last promise zone in 2015. For this paper\, I focus on the first eight promise zones which became operational from 2010-2013. I use an instrumental variable difference-in-difference design to estimate the effect of eligibility for 100 percent of the scholarship (“free” college) and any percent of the scholarship on high school graduation and college enrollment for the expected high school graduating classes of 2007 - 2014.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012402@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170126T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170208T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170208T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Design & Production Portfolio Review Exhibition DESCRIPTION:This exhibition runs Monday through Friday 10:00 AM-6:00 PM and Sunday 1:00-5:00 PM.\n\nCome see the wide range of work presented by our advanced design & production students.

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

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

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

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

With these data we can test gravity on scales near the horizon by studying the signatures of modified gravity models on large scale structure observables. \nI will present the imprints on the galaxy number counts (GNC's) and on the cross-correlation of the GNC's with CMB temperature anisotropies from certain classes of scalar-tensor theories of gravity embedded in the Horndeski Lagrangian. Furthermore fundamental properties of gravity\, e.g. the propagation speed of tensor perturbations\, can be tested using an effective field theory approach.\nDue to the remarkable modifications of relativistic effects which contribute to the considered signals\, like the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect\, these observables allow us to constrain or even rule out some alternative models.

What if Humans Don't have to Scapegoat Anyone? Peace Offering and Redemption in al-Mutanabbi's Poetry DESCRIPTION:In The 1001 Nights\, the story of the “Merchant and the Demon” proffers a scapegoat escaping his fate in exchange for marvelous stories\, and in it the mercantile model of payment in full for moral debts is invoked. While The Nights offers a vivid late medieval illustration\, we can find earlier examples of this approach to scapegoating in the poetry of al-Mutanabbi (d. 965). This paper examines a suite of four poems composed and performed by al-Mutanabbi to ransom four scapegoats. The poems stage the capacity of poetry to serve as a peace offering and payment in full for moral debts in exchange for liberty.

Specifying Unequal Public Influence on American Policy Adoption DESCRIPTION:In adopting new policy\, do policymakers respond only to the opinions of the richest American citizens\, ignoring the rest? High-profile political science research suggests that the likelihood of U.S. national policy adoption is strongly related to the share of the richest citizens who support the policy\, but—after taking the richest citizens’ opinions into account—is unrelated to the opinions of the middle class. We revisit these findings arguing that the disproportionate influence of affluent citizens is not uniform across policy proposals but is concentrated in foreign policy and in the largest proposed shifts from the status quo. Instead of archetypal inequality-increasing proposals like high-income tax cuts and deregulation\, the disproportionate influence of the affluent comes primarily in extra support for consensus foreign proposals like international agreements. Instead of slowly influencing small policy changes behind the scenes\, affluent preferences primarily block high-profile large policy changes. The rich do have stronger influence than the middle class on policy adoption\, but they succeed mostly in supporting global engagement and avoiding large-scale shift in policy. Our data enlarge Martin Gilens’ dataset from his book Affluence and Influence\, reviewing more than 1\,800 policy proposals before the national government since 1981\, but adding original information on the policy subtopics and ideological direction of each proposal.

We focus on the optimal design of these contracts\, and study in particular the mean field limit of this problem. Considering an infinite number of agents in Nash equilibrium\, the interaction between the agents is represented by a so-called mean field game. We will see that the corresponding Principal-Mean Field Agents problem rewrites in fact as a stochastic control problem on a McKean-Vlasov SDE. Particular cases of applications will be discussd and soved explicitly. This is a joint work with Dylan Possamai (Univ. Paris-Dauphine) and Thibaut Mastrolia (Ecole Polytechnique).

He claimed that the metric on these new cell complexes could be made strictly negatively curved\; however\, this was later disproved. In 1995 Charney and Davis gave a modified hyperbolization technique which did produce negatively curved cell complexes. I will talk about both the Gromov and Charney-Davis versions of this result\, and then discuss some applications.

Measurements of gravitational lensing in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) allow this matter distribution to be directly seen and mapped. In my talk\, I will discuss current and future work in this new\, rapidly advancing field. In particular\, I will show new measurements of CMB lensing with the ACTPol experiment and discuss how upcoming ultra-high-precision studies of the lensing signal will probe the properties of neutrinos and dark energy. Lensing is not only a signal\, however\, but also a source of noise that limits how much we can learn about the very early universe. With illustrations from recent work\, I will explain why delensing - removing the lensing effect to reveal the primordial sky - is crucial for the future of CMB cosmology.

This model can be understood as reflecting the high endogeneity of liquid markets and the long memory of order flow. The Rough Bergomi model which is the simplest corresponding model under Q fits the implied volatility surface remarkably well. As an application\, we show how to forecast the variance swap curve. We also comment in detail on model calibration\, which turns out not to be straightforward.

ISIM was invited to convene cross-cultural improvisation workshops and performances\, under the direction of komungo virtuoso Jin Hi Kim\, that brought together musicians from diverse backgrounds. The Joenju event was the most recent ISIM cross-cultural improvisation workshops and performances in a series that began\, with Nam Center support\, at U-M in 2011. The combination of performances and scholarly presentations raised many questions and also yielded important insights about the challenges and opportunities of improvising across wide-ranging cultural boundaries. Contrasting conceptions of time\, form\, sound\, rhythm\, texture\, interaction\, the relationship of innovation and tradition\, and the spiritual function of music are among the issues raised. He will discuss a number of these issues and also emphasize the importance of this work in creating unity in a world riddled by division and conflict. \n \nEd Sarath is Professor of Music\, Interim Director of the Center for World Performance Studies\, and Director of the Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies at the University of Michigan. He is founder and president of the International Society for Improvised Music and active worldwide as performer\, composer\, recording artist\, author/scholar\, and change visionary. In addition to his book Improvisation\, Creativity\, and Consciousness (SUNY 2013)\, the first to apply principles of an emergent worldview called Integral Theory to music\, he has published six other books as author\, co-author\, and co-editor and numerous articles in journals spanning a wide spectrum of disciplines. He has performed and recorded with top names in jazz and contemporary music across the globe\, and his recording New Beginnings features the London Jazz Orchestra performing his large ensemble compositions. He is a fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies\, MacDowell Arts Colony\, and National Endowment for the Arts (in both performance and composition).\n\nEvent cosponsored by the U-M Center for World Performance Studies UID:36275-5552712@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36275 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - Room 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170208T181723 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170208T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170208T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Use of high precision mercury isotope ratio measurements to reveal details of the global mercury cycle DESCRIPTION:\nJoel Blum (University of Michigan) UID:38527-7204567@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38527 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170208T181754 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170208T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170208T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry DESCRIPTION:There has been considerable recent work to extend the algebra and geometry of Schubert polynomials from the type A case originated by Lascoux and Schutzenberger to types B\, C\, and D. Single polynomials were given by Billey and Haiman\, and double polynomials by Ikeda\, Mihalcea\, and Naruse. Although these give many degeneracy formulas\, they do not suffice even for the classical case of ranks of symmetric or skew-symmetric matrices of homogeneous polynomials on projective spaces. \n\nFor these one needs to include symplectic and quadratic forms with values in a line bundle. In joint work with Dave Anderson\, we have constructed \"twisted double Schubert polynomials\" which have a new parameter corresponding to the line bundle. They are in twisted versions of the classical rings\, which correspond to new and stable presentations of cohomology/Chow rings of isotropic Grassmann bundles in these types. We show that that whole package of Type A phenomena\, including positivity assertions\, extend to these polynomials.

They relate the spin on a site to the field induced on the site by its neighbors. In this talk\, we will discuss recent progress regarding the understanding of these equations for a class of mixed p-spin glass models. We will explain a decomposition of the Gibbs measure into conditional laws\, each of which satisfies these equations asymptotically. This decomposition satisfies the properties predicted in the physics literature and is essentially unique. If there is time remaining\, we will discuss how a family of stochastic processes that arises in the study of this problem relates to the Parisi variational problem and how it can be used to provide PDE based methods for the evaluation of spin statistics.

From the Hebrew University’s choice to break from longstanding policy and formally allow dissertations to be submitted in English\, to the politics of Arabic as a minority language and the growth of the Russian speaking population in Israel\, concerns about language diversity in Israel persist today. Talking about those concerns in light of historical trends and insights is a way of talking about political divisions and cultural concerns in present-day Israel.\n\nLiora R. Halperin is an Assistant Professor of History and Jewish Studies\, and the holder of an endowed professorship in Israel/Palestine Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. In 2016-2017 she is a fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. Her first book\, Babel in Zion: Jews\, Nationalism\, and Language Diversity in Palestine 1920-1948 was published by Yale University Press in 2015 and won the Shapiro prize for best book in Israel Studies from the Association for Israel Studies. She teaches courses in Jewish history\, the history of Israel/Palestine\, and the history of modern Jewish/Muslim relations. While at the Frankel Institute she is working on a book about early Jewish agricultural colonies in late 19th-century Palestine and the contested image of these communities and their iconic personalities in 20th century Palestine and Israel.\n\nImage courtesy of Tel Aviv Municipal Archive\n\nSponsored by: Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies and JCC's Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment UID:35653-5291685@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35653 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170202T142818 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170208T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170208T203000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:AeroDynamic Advisory Recruiting Session DESCRIPTION:AeroDynamic Advisory will be hosting an informational/networking (informal) session on Wednesday\, February 8 at 7PM in 1024 FXB\, organized by Michigan Aviators and AIAA.\n\nThe firm is a new “boutique” management consulting firm located in Ann Arbor that exclusively serves the aerospace industry\, particularly the key manufacturers\, maintenance providers\, airlines\, and the financial community.
