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.

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

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

The 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:44929-10012406@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:20161208T125848 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170212T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170212T170000 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.

The art and science of collecting and pressing plants continues today. Recording what types of plants are in an area helps us track changes over time. There is also a lot to be learned from plants. This workshop will focus on how plants are shared across the world and used in research to answer questions about global warming\, habitat destruction\, new medicinal uses and the spread of disease.

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.

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:44929-10012407@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:20160921T100144 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170213T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170213T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Of Love and Madness: The Literary History of Layla and Majnun DESCRIPTION:This exhibit offers a glimpse into the literary history of Layla and Majnun\, a romance of Arabian origins that exists in many poetic versions.

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 is largely due to the complex\, multi-scale and nonlinear nature of our brains. We have developed cellular-based network models of the hippocampus based on a whole hippocampus preparation that spontaneously generates theta rhythms. Building on theoretical analyses and performing thousands of simulations\, we find that spike frequency adaptation and post-inhibitory rebound constitute a basis for theta generation in large\, minimally connected CA1 pyramidal network models. The contribution of post-inhibitory rebound is necessary given cellular adaptation mechanisms but the theta frequency is not directly controlled by it. Our models can serve as a platform on which to develop an understanding of in vivo theta\, and of microcircuit dynamics in the hippocampus.

In the case of smoothing spectral function of matrices\, the performance of the algorithm is controlled by its Hessian. I will show how to obtain a concise formula of Hessian of the largest eigenvalue of symmetric matrices and give an upper bound of the regret when we use Gaussian Orthogonal Matrix to smooth the function.

Gallagher\, Professor\, Department of Political Science\; Director\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\n-Kathleen Canning\, Sonya O. Rose Collegiate Professor\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor\, Department of History\n\nThis panel of U-M faculty members will discuss the recent book\, Finding Women in the State: A Socialist Feminist Revolution in the People's Republic of China\, 1949-1964 (University of California Press\, 2016) by Wang Zheng.\n\nFinding Women in the State is a provocative hidden history of socialist state feminists maneuvering behind the scenes at the core of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These women worked to advance gender and class equality in the early People’s Republic and fought to transform sexist norms and practices\, all while facing fierce opposition from a male-dominated CCP leadership from the Party Central to the local government. Wang Zheng extends this investigation to the cultural realm\, showing how feminists within China’s film industry were working to actively create new cinematic heroines\, and how they continued a New Culture anti-patriarchy heritage in socialist film production.\n\nThis book illuminates not only the different visions of revolutionary transformation but also the dense entanglements among those in the top echelon of the party. Wang discusses the causes for failure of China’s socialist revolution and raises fundamental questions about male dominance in social movements that aim to pursue social justice and equality. This is the first book engendering the PRC high politics and has important theoretical and methodological implications for scholars and students working in gender studies as well as China studies.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series.

We then discuss the speaker's work making rigorous sense of perturbatively defined path integrals that clarifies this murky subject. This involves having a proper understanding of the Wick expansion\, a formal series expansion attached to integrals.\n\nIn the second part of this talk\, we discuss one of the most central of quantum field theories\, namely quantum Yang-Mills theory. We focus on the special case of two dimensions\, for which a rigorous construction is well-known. We then discuss the fundamental (and overlooked) question of relating perturbative results to exact results in this particular setting. We present a variety of results of the author pertaining to the various gauge-fixing procedures one can invoke in calculating Wilson loop expectations.\n\nNo prior knowledge of quantum field theory is required for this talk.

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.

Hidden Vulnerability: Power\, Structure\, and Nuclear Disaster in Japan DESCRIPTION:How does vulnerability become hidden in a complex sociotechnical system? This talk analyzes the key factors that contributed to the hidden vulnerability in Fukushima Daiichi. It illustrates the process through which the institutional production of vulnerability is inextricably intertwined with epistemological bias. The presentation will end with a screening of \"A Journey to Namie\,\" a short documentary about a small town located 20 kilometers from Fukushima Daiichi. Exploring an array of contaminated places in the town\, this documentary captures the voiceless of Namie as ongoing victims of techno-natural disaster.

They are the symmetric function analog of polynomial representatives for the K-theory of the Grassmannian. First defined by Fomin and Kirillov using divided difference operators\, they have an alternative formulation in terms of set-valued tableaux due to Buch. Recently\, there have been a plethora of papers exploring the combinatorics of stable Grothendieck polynomials. Building on this work\, we will outline a proof of the Littlewood-Richardson rule for stable Grothendieck polynomials that is entirely combinatorial\, without reference to the geometry of Grassmannians. This proof mirrors (and recovers) the jeu de taquin characterization of the Littlewood-Richardson rule for Schur functions.

In many cases it is natural to regard these representations as valued in some subgroup of the linear group--for instance\, the representation on even-degree cohomology will take values in an appropriate orthogonal group--and a group-theoretic perspective can then suggest new questions in both geometry and arithmetic--for instance\, does an orthogonal representation on even degree cohomology lift to the corresponding spin (or spin similitude) group? Classical motivation for asking such questions comes from the Kuga-Satake construction\, which carries out precisely this lifting procedure in the case of the degree 2 cohomology of a K3 surface\, and finds the associated \"Kuga-Satake abelian variety\" as output.\n\nMy talk will introduce this circle of ideas\, and then discuss some refined Galois-theoretic evidence for a \"generalized Kuga-Satake theory:\" namely\, when F is a number field\, I'll explain when one can lift all the l-adic realizations of a motive over F through some central quotient of reductive groups (eg\, (G)Spin to SO)\, with independent-of-l control of \"good reduction\" properties.

The story itself\, however\, depicts the emergence of languages as a negative\, the impetus for division and cultural dissent\, a purported reflection of the city of Babylon itself. In contrast to this prominent linguistic memory\, the linguistic history of Babylon and ancient Mesopotamia thrives on multilingualism. The story of multilingualism in Babylonia is not about senseless babble\, but about the fundamental place of language and translation in creating and replicating knowledge.

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

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

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:44929-10012408@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:20160921T100144 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170214T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170214T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Of Love and Madness: The Literary History of Layla and Majnun DESCRIPTION:This exhibit offers a glimpse into the literary history of Layla and Majnun\, a romance of Arabian origins that exists in many poetic versions.

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.

My book\, How China Escaped the Poverty Trap\, tackles this long-standing\, chicken-and-egg (endogenous) problem in development through a dynamic\, complex systems approach. I argue that this chicken-and-egg debate is false because it incorrectly assumes that development is a linear process\, wherein causality runs in only one direction. In fact\, development is a coevolutionary (mutually causal) process that occurs in three reciprocal steps: harness existing weak institutions to build markets > emerging markets stimulate strong institutions > strong institutions preserve markets. I demonstrate this argument through the primary case of reform-era China\, with extension to three secondary cases: late medieval Europe\, antebellum United States\, and contemporary Nigeria. This alternative sequential theory challenges deeply held assumptions that have long guided development theories and practices.

The machine had been brought to China from Japan in the winter of 1957 by members of a Chinese medical delegation\, part of a series of semi-official cultural exchanges between the two countries during a brief moment of political rapprochement. This talk details how the machine managed to travel from Osaka to Beijing in the middle of the Cold War\, and probes the electrical genealogy of the Nakatani machine in the context of medical modernization in China and Japan. The larger goal of this paper is to illuminate the ways that practitioners envisioned the relationship between science and traditional medicines in the twentieth century\, highlighting the role of machines in negotiating this relationship. \n\nRuth Rogaski is a historian of Qing and modern China\, with allied interests in the history of medicine\, urban history\, women’s and gender history\, and social and cultural history in early modern and modern East Asia.

Tensor networks are the natural language to express low entanglement wave functions\, giving an exponentially compressed description of ground states. The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and other tensor network algorithms have had tremendous success in simulating quantum lattice models. The key challenge in translating these methods to electronic structure is the need to represent continuum space in an efficient way. After an introduction to tensor networks\, I’ll present a new DMRG-based approach suitable for the electronic structure of long molecules. Our sliced-basis DMRG method produces near-exact ground states within its basis\, and has a computation time which is linear in the length of the molecule. We are implementing SBDMRG for chains of hydrogen atoms\, where we have been able to simulate up to 1000 atoms in a minimal basis.

After invoking Menger's characterization of k-connected graphs and Lemma 2.12\, the authors' strategy for the final paragraph depends Gorenstein Liaison Theory (as covered in Migliore's book) and the regularity result of Derksen-Sidman. If time permits\, I might motivate a statement of the main result Thm 1.4 of the \"Regularity of Line Configurations\" paper\, whose proof also depends on Liaison Theorem and the definition of regularity in terms of Tor.

The semiconducting members of the TMD family including MoS2\, MoSe2 and WSe2 have not only demonstrated many of the \"graphene like\" properties desirable for electronic applications such as a relatively high mobility\, mechanical flexibility\, chemical and thermal stability\, and the absence of dangling bonds\, but also have a substantial band gap (1 ~ 2 eV depending on the material and its thickness)\, which is absent in 2D graphene but required for mainstream logic applications. However\, a major bottleneck in electronic applications of TMDs is their tendency to form a substantial Schottky barrier with most electrode metals\, which severely limits their performance. In this talk\, I will discuss our recent work aiming to overcome this fundamental challenge and subsequently explore the intrinsic transport properties of TMDs. Particularly\, we have used heavily doped graphene and 2D semiconductors to fabricate low-resistance ohmic contacts for a variety of TMDs.1\, 2 \n\n1.

This begins to change in the Enlightenment. But only in the modernist period\, and then only in prose fiction\, do Jews and Jewishness come to occupy a central position—a position difficult to perceive in retrospect owing to the tendency to view the early twentieth century through the retrospective lens of the Nazi years and to the practice of defining Jewishness in unduly restrictive terms. Modernist fiction responds to the collapse of shared values with an attenuation of plot yoked to a structurally autobiographical recreation of ordinary social life\, including the lives of people very different from the author (Proust\, Kafka\, Joyce). This moment proves congenial to the Jewish writer\, less exclusively attached to the nation than are many contemporary authors. Jewish modernist fiction thus marks the transition from the literature of Europe and the West to the category of world literature.\n\nPre-Circulated Paper Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4fddpx2esrvg4u4/Chapter\n\nWalter Cohen is professor of English at the University of Michigan.

Scholars tend to critique the use of negative parallax in 3D films of the 1950s\, especially\, as a gimmick that doomed the format to failure by disrupting narrative and and disturbing the spectator’s absorption into the fictional world of the film by foregrounding the screen as surface and threshold. This paper departs from prevailing scholarship on 3D films by situating positive and negative parallax effects along a continuum that aligns the first with the epistemological drive - the desire to see and know - and the second with an affective charge that is irreducible to the provocation of shock and surprise.The association of positive parallax and negative parallax with knowledge and affect\, respectively\, made stereoscopic 3D an ideal format for the cinema’s investigation into the uncanny culture and experience of technological modernity in the postwar era in 3D films such as Dial M for Murder (1953) and House of Wax (1953).

In this talk\, we'll define the Grothendieck ring of varieties and explore a few of its basic properties (e.g.\, it fails to be a domain or even reduced in characteristic 0). We'll do some example calculations in this ring and define several important homomorphisms from this ring (i.e.\, \"motivic invariants\"). We'll then state and sketch a theorem of Larsen and Luntz relating these ideas to stably birational geometry\, and finally we'll hopefully mention some broader applications to motivic integration and birational geometry. No background beyond basic algebraic geometry will be assumed.

Series: Dr. Kyra Gaunt DESCRIPTION:Based on her participant-observation in the Black Lives Matter protests and an Anti-Trump project called BrickxBrick in NYC\, Dr. Gaunt poetically and creatively shares a love song to the world. She will also provide insights from her research of systemic intersectional biases on YouTube and Wikipedia.\n\nEthnomusicologist and vocalist Kyra Gaunt received her Ph.D. from the School of Music at University of Michigan in 1997. She is an award-winning author\, a TED Fellow\, and a digital ethnographer who studies the intersectionality of race\, gender and adolescence on YouTube. She is the award-winning author of The Games Black Girls Play: Learning the Ropes from Double-Dutch to Hip-Hop\, and adjunct associate professor of ethnomusicology\, cultural anthropology and sociology and as a social media expert at Baruch College in NYC. \n\nDr. Gaunt’s current work examines performance of musical blackness and digital ethnography on YouTube. As both a scholar and a performer\, she brings a committed advocacy for empowering emerging adults to become consumers of their own productivity—great citizens and professionals now\, not when you graduate—while demonstrating the value of a diverse and communal intellectual and cross-ethnic engagement that needs to be cultivated in our gadget-distracted age\, especially in higher education.\n#BrickxBrick2016 #BLM \n\nDiversity Next! is an arts-inspired series of conversations convened by the Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) that seeks to broaden the horizons of diversity deliberations on the U-M campus and beyond. The arts cut across wide-ranging cultural and disciplinary boundaries\, harness the expressive power of creativity in new modes of perception and understanding\, and help individuals and communities critically interrogate and liberate from conditioned assumptions and behavior that run counter to diversity. This invites new perspectives on familiar topics and also helps place front and center areas that may elude diversity discourse altogether.

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

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012409@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:20160921T100144 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170215T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170215T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Of Love and Madness: The Literary History of Layla and Majnun DESCRIPTION:This exhibit offers a glimpse into the literary history of Layla and Majnun\, a romance of Arabian origins that exists in many poetic versions.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Cosmic far-infrared background (CIB) originates from unresolved\, dusty star-forming galaxies across cosmic time. It probes the cosmic star-formation history and the connection between galaxies and dark matter halos. I will first present new models that help us interpret the CIB anisotropies observed by Planck. These models include a physical model of galaxy evolution and an empirical model based on UV and optical galaxy surveys. I will then discuss how we can optimize future CIB experiments for constraining cosmic star-formation history.

One way to understand a MFG is through its \"master equation\,\" an infinite-dimensional PDE aptly nicknamed the \"monster equation.\" A solution of this equation can be used\, for instance\, to construct a solution of the original mean field game or prove convergence of n-player equilibria (see Cardaliaguet-Delarue-Lasry-Lions 2015). This talk will not dwell on how to solve the master equation\, a difficult issue addressed in only a few papers thus far. Instead\, we show how to use a sufficiently smooth solution to answer several open questions about the limit theory for MFGs. In particular\, we derive for the first time a central limit theorem and a large deviations principle for the n-player empirical measure (in equilibrium). The proofs use the master equation to quantitatively relate the n-player equilibrium to a McKean-Vlasov system of interacting diffusions for which the limit theory is well understood. \n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Francois Delarue and Kavita Ramanan.

They could be entirely student focused\, faculty focused or mixed and could last for years or just a semester. \n\nThis event will focus on how this array of learning communities promote academic excellence in STEM disciplines and how we can enhance communication and support among the many types of learning communities on campus.\n\nThe event will include reception\, followed by a campus-wide poster session featuring the wide variety of learning communities on campus and especially those with a STEM focus.\n\nPlease RSVP by February 8th: http://tinyurl.com/zztsto5 UID:38112-6891406@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38112 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Career,Education,Engineering,Lecture,Mathematics,Science,Student Org LOCATION:Michigan League - Hussey Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170215T181746 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170215T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170215T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Seminar on Geometry\, Dynamics and Topology DESCRIPTION:In 1987\, Gromov gave several ways to convert any cell complex K into a nonpositvely curved cell complex H(K). 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.

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.

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:44929-10012410@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:20170128T134456 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170216T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170216T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:’A GREAT LIBRARY EASILY BEGETS AFFECTION’: THE WILLIAM L. CLEMENTS LIBRARY DESCRIPTION:Dr. Graffagnino grew up in Vermont and has undergraduate and graduate degrees in American History. In a 39-year professional career\, he’s held curatorial and administrative positions at the University of Vermont\, the State Historical Society of Wisconsin\, the Kentucky Historical Society\, and the Vermont Historical Society. He’s published a good deal and spoken widely on American history\, libraries\, historical cartography\, and bibliomania.\n\nSince its opening in 1923\, the Clements has been one of the world’s finest research libraries of early American history. Clements director Kevin Graffagnino’s illustrated presentation details the life and collecting career of Michigan industrialist William L. Clements and the growth of the library Clements built to house his remarkable collection of early Americana. Book collectors\, history buffs\, and everyone else will learn from this talk why the Clements epitomizes the wisdom of Augustine Birrell’s observation. “A great library easily begets affection\, which may deepen into love.” \n\nThis is the first of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Library – Civilization’s Treasure House of Knowledge.

Low dissolved oxygen in the bottom water of a stratified lake can be harmful from an ecological perspective by killing benthic organisms that serve as food for fish\, and also by excluding fish from preferred habitat. Hypoxia is caused by excessive nutrient loading\, resulting in excessive algal growth\, which consumes oxygen when it settles to the bottom. Most models of hypoxia are designed to answer the question of how much nutrient load reduction is needed to reduce hypoxia to meet some goal. In addition to being an important ecological resource\, Lake Erie is a source of drinking water to millions of people. Lake dynamics\, including seiches\, internal waves\, and wind-induced upwelling-downwelling\, can cause changing water quality at public water system intakes over a period of a few hours. In order to maintain the quality of treated water\, treatment processes may need to be adjusted in response to changes in temperature\, dissolved oxygen\, pH\, organic matter\, iron\, or manganese at the inlet. We recently began a project to develop a hypoxia forecast model that can provide a real-time nowcast and five-day forecast of temperature and dissolved oxygen for public water systems on Lake Erie in order to provide plant managers with advance notice of events that are likely to produce changing water quality at their inlets. While past studies have focused on deep water and on time scales of years\, our focus is on nearshore water intakes\, on dynamic events that last hours or days\, and on development of an operational forecast model. In this presentation\, I will discuss past and present models and observations of Lake Erie hypoxia\, and what we know and hope to learn about episodes of hypoxia that affect nearshore drinking water intakes.\n\nBio: Mark Rowe works on developing models to understand and predict changes in the physical\, chemical\, and biological characteristics of the Great Lakes. His recent work has focused on development of linked hydrodynamic and biological models to simulate harmful algal blooms and hypoxia in Lake Erie\, and impacts of invasive quagga mussels on primary production\, nutrient cycles\, and the lower food web of Lake Michigan. He has contributed to forecast models that provide timely and actionable information to public water systems\, anglers\, recreational users of Lake Erie. Dr. Rowe received MS and PhD degrees from Michigan Technological University where he conducted research on measurement and modeling of atmospheric deposition of persistent organic pollutants to Lake Superior. \n\n**Registration is not required\, however please note important visitor information**\n\nImportant Visitor Information\nAll in-person seminar attendees are required to receive a visitor badge from the front desk at the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory facility.

In the last few years\, scholars have turned their attention to the many languages in which literature was\, and still is written in Israel. The symposium will bring Institute fellows and leading scholars to explore Israel literature written in Yiddish\, Arabic\, German\, Russian\, and English\, as well as the interplay between these languages and Hebrew. The speakers will explore issues such as translation and self-translation\, the politics of language in literature\, and the historical shifts that enabled or restricted inter-linguistic contacts.\n\n10:40 am—12:30 pm: Session 1: Multilingual Encounters and Dialogues\nChair and Respondent: Liora Halperin\, University of Boulder\n\nShachar Pinsker\, University of Michigan: Between “Loshn-Mame-Koydesh” and the Father Tongue?

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.

Invitation to the 400-year-old Art of Japanese Storytelling DESCRIPTION:Please note: the performers will speak Japanese with a translator interpreting in English.\n\nRakugo is a traditional storytelling performance. The performer sits on a 2′x2′ cushion on the stage and tells a story that may involve several characters. He may stand up on his knees but never on his feet. His only props are a fan and a tenugui (Japanese towel). In this Noon Lecture\, Yanagiya Sankyo\, one of the leading rakugo players in Japan\, and Yanagiya Kyonosuke\, his apprentice\, will introduce and demonstrate the art of this wonderful Japanese culture. A Q&A session will follow the performance.\n\nPerformers:\nYanagiya Sankyo 柳家さん喬 \nYanagiya Kyonosuke 柳家喬之助 \n\nYanagiya Sankyo was born in 1948. He became an apprentice to Yanagiya Kosan V in 1967 and achieved the highest rank of rakugo performer — known as “shin-uchi (真打)” — in 1981. He excels at telling classic stories about human nature. He won a Japan Foundation Award in 2014\, which honors people who help deepen international friendship over the long term. \n\nYanagiya Kyonosuke was born in 1971 and became an apprentice to Sankyo in 1993. He received a shin’uchi (真打) rank in 2007.\n\nCo-organized by the U-M Japanese Language Program & Center for Japanese Studies.\nCo-sponsored by the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation.

In this talk we will recall the definition of Sha(E) both as the cokernel of the Kummer map and via its geometric interpretation as a collection of certain isomorphism classes of torsors of E. Using this latter description\, we will introduce one strategy to attempt to understand the behavior of this group (and maybe even try to prove that it is finite). Some prior exposure to elliptic curves and/or group cohomology will be helpful.

About the talk:\n\nIn almost every industry and institution\, men occupy leadership positions at a vastly disproportionate rate. For instance\, in the private sector workforce\, white men in particular are nearly twice as likely to be executives as would be expected by chance. Women now receive the majority of university degrees at almost all levels\, including the doctoral level\, and women now make up the majority of junior faculty and instructors at many colleges and universities. But as in other sectors\, leaders at universities are still disproportionately likely to be men. Will time alone close the gender leadership gap in the academy? What can be done to eliminate the barriers and bias facing women? Kevin Miller of the American Association of University Women will review statistical information and research on the gender leadership gap\, with a focus on issues facing women in the academy.\n\nSponsored by the University Library and the ADVANCE program.\n\nEmergent Research events are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus\, particularly as they relate to library services and support\, opportunities for collaboration\, data management and preservation\, and beyond.

Looking for Inca Presences and Local Strategies for Rearranging the Territory: New Excavations in Cerro Azul\, Peru DESCRIPTION:With the goal of exploring how the Inca Empire transformed the Andean territory\, the Qhapaq Ñan project initiated a research project at the site of Cerro Azul – “El Huarco” a well-known site at the southern end of the central coast of Peru. We expected to uncover evidence of local strategies that intentionally or unintentionally transformed identities\, polities and social organizations in those years of Inca expansion. The present talk discusses the firsthand results of our latest excavation in the 2016 field season. Initially our data shows there was a long occupation at the site. As a working hypothesis we suggest the site was re-organized during the last occupation. This rearrangement of the site\, which includes the construction of a new plaza\, was contemporaneous with Inca presence on the central coast. Although present at Cerro Azul\, the Inca did not exercise territorial power over the site\, rather this arrangement presented an opportunity for local elites to reshuffle the social and physical landscape of Cerro Azul and in its surrounding territory.

If the entries are also zero mean subgaussian\, then the operator norm ||A|| ~ sqrt(n) with high probability\, but for the distributions with heavier tails the norm can be significantly larger. We were motivated by the question: under what conditions the operator norm of a heavy-tailed matrix can be improved by modifying just a small fraction of its entries (a small sub-matrix of A)? We have shown that this happens exactly when the entries of A have zero mean and bounded variance.\n\nI am going to discuss how enforcing the sqrt(n)-norm for the matrix can be a local or a global problem\, depending on the moments of its entries. As parts of the proof\, I am planning to talk about the relationships among various matrix norms\, discretization of a random variable as a sum of independent Bernoullis\, and Grothendieck-Pietsch factorization for matrices.

From the Ciudad Juárez femicides and the harrowing experiences of Central American migrants to the rise of criminal organizations and citizen vulnerability\, the experience of violence in neoliberal Mexico has acquired a level of urgency and thus elicited reactive work on the part of scholars in different fields. This paper seeks to systematize the work of scholarship regarding violence in Mexico under the idea of “being killable\,” i.e. the dynamics of socialization and subjectification that determine who is the target of violence across the board. Departing from theories of precarization and labor\, the paper explores different literary and film works\, as well as public interventions and theories\, to contend that violence can be read across two axes: the nature of labor in the neoliberal era and the imagination of subjectivity beyond identity.\n\nIgnacio M.

The common assumption is that environmental changes will facilitate disease spread and increase the risk to humans and species of agricultural and conservation concern. Yet most ecological processes are nonlinear\, and the response of infectious diseases to environmental change is no exception. In this talk\, I will explore two ways in which nonlinearities in disease transmission lead to unexpected responses of disease to environmental change: (1) pathogen spillover from exotic to native plant species\, and (2) impacts of temperature on vector-borne disease transmission. To understand the importance of nonlinearity in these systems\, I use mathematical models fit to empirical data. In both cases the field-parameterized models show\, counter-intuitively\, that environmental change does not necessarily lead to negative disease-mediated outcomes. In fact\, the fungal pathogen is predicted to benefit the native grass species in competition with the invasive grass\, and warm temperatures are expected to decrease malaria transmission in currently heavily-infected areas. These surprising results underscore the importance of integrating models and data to predict responses of disease to environmental change in nature.\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.\n\nWatch YouTube video: https://youtu.be/gkHBUv3EGgA UID:36352-5581492@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36352 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170110T151320 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170216T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170216T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Visionaries: Second Sight and Social Change in West Africa Since 1800\" DESCRIPTION:Oxford’s Advanced Learners Dictionary gives the following two primary definitions of the term \"visionary\":\n1. original and showing the ability to think about or plan the future with great\nimagination and intelligence\n-a visionary leader-\n 2. relating to dreams or strange experiences\, especially of a religious kind\n-visionary experiences-\n \nThis talk explores—in the context of Islamic West Africa—these two primary (and inter-related) senses of the meaning of the word \"visionary\": a person who experiences \"visions\" in dreams\, trances\, and waking states and a person who provides inspirational leadership for social change. In short\, it is an examination of the relationship between the \"extra-sensory\" sensorium of religious experiences and social action in the Islamic tradition of the African West. For African Muslim visionaries \"visions\" were often more real than reality itself and thus had the capacity to transform it. But these visions were not limited to seeing\; they were also experiences of sound and smell\, touch and taste. The English language—which favors sight among its five culturally constructed senses—offers no word better to describe such all-encompassing sensory experiences than \"vision.\"\n\nRudolph Ware is an associate professor of history at the University of Michigan. Specializing in premodern West African history\, Professor Ware's research interests include Islam\, popular religious culture\, and race.

In this talk\, I will present an alternative explanation of the counterintuitive phenomenon that lies at the heart of the Judy Benjamin problem\, in an effort to show that this critique is misguided. While the Judy Benjamin Problem does not invalidate the principle of maximum entropy\, it does serve to bring into sharp relief the prerequisites for its proper application. Reflection on these prerequisites reveals that\, contrary to the claims of E.T. Jaynes\, who was the first to propose that the principle of maximum entropy be viewed as an a priori principle of rationality\, maximum entropy methods should not be viewed as a supplement to the classical Bayesian theory of probabilistic reasoning based on the Laplacean principle of indifference. Rather\, the principle of maximum entropy turns out to be a corollary of Laplacean principle of indifference\, properly understood. I will conclude the talk by showing how the principle of maximum entropy can be used to resolve certain conceptual puzzles in the theory of probabilistic reasoning\, including the apparent cotenability of symmetry and frequency-based assessments of probability.

We exploit a policy shock from 2013 in France\, which eliminated the direct reporting to banks of managers involved in non-fraudulent corporate liquidations by Banque de France. We find that the deflagging makes failed entrepreneurs significantly more likely to restart a business or to borrow from a surviving business\, despite the fact that bankers could find the failure information from other public sources. The effect is stronger for industries where entrepreneurial talent matters more for performance. Restarters create companies that have a higher probability of default.

Report after report citing the dearth of employment of creative labor of color has had little effect on how the major Hollywood players choose to conduct their business. Certainly\, it is not in their best interest to admit that racial and ethnic diversity is simply a low priority or an unnecessary distraction. However\, no matter how dismal the employment data\, meaningful diversity just doesn’t appear to be a problem for many of those individuals in positions with enough power to do something about it. Still\, how that lack of care discursively emerges is important to note as they often re-direct conversations about employment into discussions of competence and skill—ironically\, concepts that still perpetuate certain ideological beliefs about racial and gendered identity. \n\nRegardless of how many think pieces\, pie charts\, and data graphs that consistently demonstrate how marginalized bodies are not allowed opportunities to prove they can produce quality work\, these normative models disassociate structural racism from common industry practices. The few minority workers who do enjoy some success will always function as evidence that the best talent does indeed rise to the top. Yet\, such discursive logic obscures that Hollywood is an industry built around relationships\, networking\, internships\, and apprenticeships—a classed set of practices from which people of color are systemically excluded. This talk will address how discourses of Hollywood labor erase classed and racial identity through three key strategies creatives of color employ as a consequence of those practices.\n\nKristen Warner is an Associate Professor in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media at The University of Alabama. She is the author The Cultural Politics of Colorblind TV Casting (Routledge\, 2015). Kristen's research interests are centered at the juxtaposition of televisual racial representation and its place within the media industries\, particularly within the practice of casting. Warner’s work can be found in Television and New media\, Camera Obscura and a host of anthologies and online websites.

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.

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:44929-10012411@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:20170214T121614 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chicana Fotos: Nancy De Los Santos DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: Friday\, February 17 - April 14\, 2017\nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 from 4 - 7 pm\, featuring a performance by Ballet Folklórico De Detroit at 6 pm.\nGallery Talk by Nancy De Los Santos and exhibition curator Maria Cotera: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 at 12 pm\, Walter P. Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design. Gallery talk sponsored by the Center for Latina/o and Latin American Studies\, Wayne State University\, and the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative.

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.

Debating Daʿwa: Theologies of Mediation in the Egyptian Islamic Revival DESCRIPTION:What makes media “Islamic”? Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with Islamic television producers in Cairo\, this paper looks at the passionate contention within Egypt’s piety movement over the development of new forms of religious media. I suggest that at stake in these mass-mediated debates over daʿwa (Islamic outreach) are conflicting theologies of both religious publicity and everyday life that configure the boundaries of the “religious” and the “secular” differently. This God-talk matters a great deal to Islamic Revivalists who spend more time debunking each other than they do secularists. Attending to these internal critiques foregrounds the contradictory moral conceptions of human flourishing and divine obligation that animate Egypt’s Islamic Revival. Indeed\, focusing on the piety movement’s internal fractures as God-talk allows for an ethnographic engagement with how Muslim adepts critique religious difference—and the difference that religious critique makes—beyond the imperatives of secular power even while troubling both the “secular” and the “religious” as analytical categories.\n\nPlease RSVP to Saquib Usman at susman@umich.edu.

Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design.

Science and Technology employers know that with a physics training\, a potential hire has acquired a broad problem-solving skill set that translates to almost any environment\, as well as an ability to be self-guided and -motivated so that they can teach themselves whatever is needed to be successful at achieving their goals. Therefore it’s no surprise that the majority of physics graduates find employment in private--sector\, industrial settings. At the same time\, only about 25% of graduating PhDs will take a permanent faculty position--yet academic careers are usually the only track to which students are exposed while earning their degrees.\n\nIn this talk\, I will explore less-familiar (but more common!) career paths for physics graduates\, and will provide information on resources to boost your career planning and job hunting skills.\n\nPizza lunch available at 11:50 AM in room 337 West Hall.

This study investigates whether self-perceived power influences how listeners process this social information\, and\, in turn\, how listeners categorize sibilants. Self-perceived power\, the perceived capacity to control the resources or punishments of others\, is associated with the style of processing of social information an individual tends to adopt. The percept of high-power listeners tend to depend more on attributes associated with a social category\, rather than attributes unique to the speaker\, which may conflict with the category assigned to the speaker (Fiske & Neuberg 1990). I expected that when a listener is presented with conflicting information about speaker gender (e.g. a female face but a male voice)\, the percept of the low-power listener will be sensitive to both sources of information\, while that of the high-power listener will be sensitive to just one.\n\nIn this study\, Participants were primed for a high or low degree of self-perceived power (as in Galinsky et al. 2003) and completed a forced choice identification task. During each trial\, they were presented with an image of a face and manipulated auditory stimuli\, which ranged from \"sigh\" to \"shy\"\; the participants indicated hearing \"sigh\" or \"shy\"'. For a given participant\, the gender of the face was paired with either the same or the opposite gender voice for the duration of the experiment. Responses were significantly influenced by the gender of the speaker's voice\, whether the gender of the face and that of the voice matched\, and the power priming group to which the participant was assigned\; in most instances the direction of the influence matched predictions. I also frame these results with respect to other studies on the relationship between power and linguistic perception\, research on individual differences\, and research on language change.

Next\, we will examine a recent proposal by Hawking\, Perry and Strominger\, who suggest that soft photons and soft gravitons can be regarded as black hole hairs that may be relevant to the black hole information paradox. We will make use of factorization theorems for infrared divergences of the S-matrix to argue that\, by appropriately dressing in and out hard states\, the soft-quanta-dependent part of the S-matrix becomes essentially trivial\, in the sense that the information paradox can be fully formulated in terms of dressed hard states\, which do not depend on soft quanta.

We give analogous results for what we call involution Schubert polynomials---representatives for the cohomology classes of the closures of the O(n)- or Sp(2n)-orbits on the complete flag variety\, first described by Brion and Wyser-Yong---where now Schur-positivity is replaced by Schur-P-positivity. A new Littlewood-Richardson rule for Schur P-functions follows as a special case. We also give a new proof of results of DeWitt and Ardila-Serrano classifying skew Schur functions which are Schur-P-positive. This is joint work with Zach Hamaker and Eric Marberg.

This talk examines allegations of corruption made circa 1900 against medico-legal actors who were British\, and the ways in which these episodes threatened credibility claims made for the new field of medical jurisprudence. I will explore the cases of assistant chemical examiner\, W. S. Newman\, who was dismissed for drinking the alcohol he was supposed to be testing and for improper analysis of bloodstains\; Patrick Hehir\, author of a leading treatise in medical jurisprudence who may have interfered in proceedings related to a high-profile abortion case in order to avoid prosecution himself\; and civil surgeon C. V. Falvey\, who was accused of taking bribes and altering his testimony in a series of sex crime cases. The talk will reflect upon the power concentrated in forensic experts in colonial India\, and how the implicit end of creating a less contested and “embarrassing” version of western science became particularly pernicious when European experts abused their power. \n\nMitra Sharafi is a legal historian of South Asia and Associate Professor of Law and Legal Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (with History affiliation).

On Friday\, February 17th from 4:15 pm to 6 pm in the Rackham West Conference Room (4th floor)\, Safransky will share insights from two forthcoming book projects. The first focuses on the racial and environmental politics involved in redeveloping Detroit\, arguing that the city’s landscape has been shaped in profound ways by racial state building and struggles for Black self-determination. The second\, Detroit: A People’s Atlas (expected out 2017)\, offers counter-narratives of Detroit’s past\, present\, and future from collected oral histories\, interviews\, critical essays\, poems\, and maps that document the voices and experiences of some of the many Detroiters sidelined in discussions of the city’s future. \nThe Detroit School series seeks to stimulate an interdisciplinary conversation on how research on Detroit—a city often seen as an extreme outlier of decline—can produce knowledge that is original and relevant to urban studies globally. This year\, we are considering two guiding questions: \"What topics can’t we understand without grappling with Detroit?” and “What must we know in order to understand Detroit itself?” Please save the dates for the following Winter 2017 events.\nMISSED OUR FALL EVENTS?\nLast semester we hosted a panel discussion of distinguished faculty on what it means to teach Detroit\, heard Marcus Hunter (UCLA) discuss his book Chocolate Cities\, and enjoyed a discussion on the role of racialized mythology in Detroit's past\, present\, and future with Rebecca Kinney (Bowling Green State University).

Prosodic structure introduces systematic variation in the temporal and tonal properties of speech. Thus segments and speech movements (gestures) become longer in the vicinity of prosodic boundaries and under prominence. This lengthening is cumulative for prosodic boundaries\, i.e.\, it increases with boundary strength\, and there is some evidence that it is cumulative for prominence as well\, increasing from broad to narrow to contrastive focus. In addition to tonal and temporal manifestations of prosodic structure\, there is substantial evidence that body gestures (e.g.\, speech-related movements of the hands and eyebrows) are also implicated in the expression of prosodic structure. However\, the extent and exact nature of this relationship is still poorly understood.\n\nI will present a series of experimental studies examining how structural properties of prosody are reflected in speech production. I start with a brief introduction to prosodic structure and then turn to four experimental studies examining the relationship between body gestures (specifically manual movements) and prosodic structure. The focus is on the coordination of manual and speech gestures (experiment 1) and on the temporal properties of manual gestures under prominence (experiment 2) and at prosodic boundaries (experiments 3-4). The implications of the findings for our understanding of the linguistic representation of prosodic structure are discussed.

Mass spectrometry-based approaches can provide valuable information on base-pairing and long-range interactions\, which define the secondary\, tertiary\, and quaternary structure of nucleic acids. We have been developing strategies based on high-resolution and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) mass spectrometry to investigate the structure-function relationships in non-coding viral RNA. We have demonstrated that the concerted application of footprinting and crosslinking methods can provide valid spatial constraints for modeling operations\, leading to the solution of actual 3D structures. Top-down strategies can provide direct information about the position and strength of base-pairing interactions that stabilize higher-order structure. Putative structures are corroborated by IMS determinations that reveal the global topology of target RNA. These approaches constitute a valuable alternative for the investigation of systems that\, owing to their large size and flexibility\, are not directly amenable to classic high-resolution techniques employed in structural biology. Their implementation has been providing new insights into the processes of genome recognition\, dimerization\, and packaging of HIV-1 and other retroviruses\, which have the potential of leading to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.\nDaniele Fabris (University at Albany\, State University of New York) UID:36938-6064012@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36938 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170217T160008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T180000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Ottawa Political Internship Meeting DESCRIPTION:Meeting for the Ottawa Political Internship UID:39072-7609196@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39072 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:International,Internship LOCATION:LSA Building - 2001 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170217T181743 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Preprint Algebraic Geometry Seminar DESCRIPTION: https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.05484 Speaker(s): Mircea Mustata (UM) UID:37877-6763694@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37877 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170127T082135 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RC Faculty Talks 2017: Stephen Ward: On the Meaning and Memory of 1967 DESCRIPTION:The year 2017 will occasion a range of commemorative activities on campus in recognition of various noteworthy historical anniversaries. The university\, of course\, will celebrate its bicentennial\, while the Residential College will proudly mark its 50th year. Indeed\, reaching this milestone provides a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the RC’s evolution and its many accomplishments over this half-century. We can gain valuable perspective on this milestone by recalling something of the intellectual and political moment from which the RC emerged. Pivotal developments of that year that shocked and shaped the world in 1967 continue to have enduring impacts today. This talk will suggest the value in reconsidering selected events of that momentous year—including the Arab-Israeli War\, the Detroit Rebellion\, and Martin Luther King’s speech\, “Beyond Vietnam”—and use this to offer some thoughts on the unfolding of intellectual and political currents since 1967.\n\nDr. Ward is Associate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies and Associate Professor of Residential College\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts UID:37481-6603843@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37481 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,Discussion,Diversity,Education,Free,History,Lecture,Multicultural,Research,Scholarship,Social Impact,Social Justice,Sociology LOCATION:East Quadrangle - Keene Theater CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170214T121615 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170217T190000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Reception - Chicana Fotos: Nancy De Los Santos DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: Friday\, February 17 - April 14\, 2017\nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 from 4 - 7 pm\, featuring a performance by Ballet Folklórico De Detroit at 6 pm.\nGallery Talk by Nancy De Los Santos and exhibition curator Maria Cotera: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 at 12 pm\, Walter P. Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design.

One reason is that the graph may contain a large set of pairwise adjacent vertices (called a \"clique\")\, but what can be said if that is not the case? Around 1985 Andras Gayfas made three conjectures about structures that must be present in a graph with large chromatic number all of whose cliques have bounded size. Recently we proved the strongest of these conjectures\, that implies the other two. In this talk we will discuss some of the proof ideas\, and related problems and theorems.

Maybe that last item explains some of his amazing charisma! Greg's first professional singing job came at age 18 in New York City\, running hootenannies at the legendary Gerdes Folk City. After a year\, Greg moved west to Los Angeles and Las Vegas\, where he was a ghostwriter for Buck Ram of the Platters. Over more than four decades on the road\, Greg has developed into the essential Midwestern songwriter\, with a deep feeling for what makes people and communities hang together. He's a compelling performer\, aware that in folk music less is usually more and that the intimate musical detail communicates as well as the grand gesture. It's been a while since we've seen Greg Brown in southeastern Michigan\, so this could be a very scarce ticket!

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:44929-10012412@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:20170215T111210 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170218T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170218T170000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Physics Palooza!

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.

Professor Aidala will discuss her research studying antimatter in the hydrogen nucleus as well as in more complex atomic nuclei such as carbon. Investigating the antimatter content of nuclei has been yielding surprises\, in particular for antiup and antidown quarks\, which can be probed directly by annihilating them with their corresponding matter partners\, up and down quarks.

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.

This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\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.

His award-winning and record-breaking Train to Busan\, which was a selection at this year’s Cannes Film Festival\, is actually a live-action continuation of the story he created for Seoul Station. Variety said of Train to Busan it… “pulses with relentless locomotive momentum. As an allegory of class rebellion and moral polarization\, it proves just as biting as Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi dystopia “Snowpiercer\,” while delivering even more unpretentious fun.”\n\nThe action takes place in downtown Seoul\, where a zombie pandemic is unleashed from a homeless encampment that exists inside the city’s central train station. The Playlist added\, “The centrality of such marginalized\, hopeless figures\, all dismissed by social services at some point over the feature’s runtime and later quarantined by the military\, resonates with the concerns of left-wing protests in Seoul late last year.”\n\nPlease see the review on The Playlist [http://theplaylist.net/animated-train-to-busan-prequel-seoul-station-a-worthy-entry-into-the-zombie-canon-review-20160731/] UID:36302-5559875@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36302 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Film LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170629T121748 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170218T130000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Michigan Men's Tennis vs. No. 15 Kentucky DESCRIPTION:Michigan Men's Tennis vs. No. 15 Kentucky UID:38754-7371289@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38754 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Men's Tennis LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170629T121820 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170218T130000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Michigan Women's Lacrosse vs. No. 8 Notre Dame DESCRIPTION:Michigan Women's Lacrosse vs. No. 8 Notre Dame UID:40323-8525157@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40323 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Women's Lacrosse LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170218T120054 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170218T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170218T160000 SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:Citizen's Climate Rally DESCRIPTION:\"On February 18th\, 2017\, we will unite in Ann Arbor to march for a cleaner future\, for our public health and for a healthier planet.
