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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art & Healing: American Indian Textiles & Beads
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne L. Cross\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor Emeritus\, Michigan State University and member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe\, is a shawl maker and beadwork artist. She created this body of work to increase awareness and emphasize cardiac health for American Indian women by informing\, supporting\, and encouraging self-care and the value of changing life ways.

Now-a-day traditional female dancers complete their regalia by carrying the shawl over their left arm which is closest to the heart\, and the fringe sways to the heartbeat rhythm of the drum.

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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Another Country
DESCRIPTION:The scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GOIN’ NORTH: BLACK DETROIT  AND THE  GREAT MIGRATION\,  1910-1930
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nExhibit of photographs and documents produced by the Michigan Historical Collections in Commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day at the University of Michigan\, published 1991.\nBLACK DETROIT AND THE GREAT MIGRATION\n\nSince Norf is up\,\nAn’ Souf is down\,\nAn’ Hebben is up\,\nI’m upward boun’.*\nThey came to Detroit by the thousands from Georgia\, Alabama\, Tennessee\, South Caroline and they stayed. They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Lunch with Honors | How Do You Exonerate the Innocent without DNA? A Look Inside the Michigan Innocence Clinic.
DESCRIPTION:Register Below: Web & Social Links.\n\nUnlike many other innocence clinics\, which specialize in DNA exonerations\, the Michigan Innocence Clinic focuses on cases where there is no biological evidence to be tested. Their work indicates that some of the most common causes of wrongful conviction are eyewitness misidentification\, junk science\, false confessions\, government misconduct and bad lawyering.  These cases show us how the criminal justice system is in need of much repair and how the Michigan Innocence Clinic can combat troubling trends of the system.\n\nU-M Law professor David Moran directs the Michigan Innocence Clinic. Professor Moran has argued six times before the United States Supreme Court. Among his most notable cases are Halbert v. Michigan\, in which the Supreme Court struck down a Michigan law that denied appellate counsel to assist indigent criminal defendants who wished to challenge their sentences after pleading guilty. Professor Moran is an alumnus of the LSA Honors Program. He earned his BS in physics at the University of Michigan\, a BA\, MA\, and CAS in Mathematics at Cambridge University\, an MS in theoretical physics at Cornell University\, and a JD at the Michigan Law School. He served for eight years as an assistant defender at the State Appellate Defender Office (SADO) in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology
DESCRIPTION:Cells move in tissue in several situations such as the spread of cancer. It is known that cell motility leads to deformation of the tissue. We argue here that the deformations are generically plastic and irreversible. We study an experimental model system of breast cancer cells in collagen-I. We observe large\, irreversible deformations\, namely dense collagen bundles between cells which do not decay when the cells stop contracting. We give a numerical model that shows how sliding of cross-links in the collagen can give the observed results. The same model reproduces bulk rheology observations of plasticity. We also observe the micro-rheology of the collagen bundles.\n \nWe discuss the implications of our results for cell motility via durotaxis and contact guidance. We propose that cell motility\, even at low densities\, is a collective effect due to mechanical \ncommunication between cells.\n Speaker(s): Leonard Sander (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Minorities and Philosophy Lecture: The Moral Significance of Being Human Abstract
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhen trying to establish the special moral importance that we give to human beings\, philosophers generally find the concept of species membership  an insufficient ground for justifying that status. They instead insist on locating morally significant intrinsic properties of human beings to serve as the basis for moral status.  Often they drop the term “human” and prefer a normative concept such as “person.”  They either insist that a purely natural concept does not have normative content\, or they accept the view that species membership as a criterion for is special moral status is morally arbitrary in the same way that racism\, sexism\, or heterosexism are. A numbers of philosophers (James Rachaels\, Peter Singer\, Jeff McMahan\, among others) point out that the morally relevant attributes are not possessed by all human beings\, and may well be possessed by nonhuman animals.  \n\nThese views either explicitly or implicitly write certain human beings out of consideration for that special status and render them unequal to other humans with the morally relevant attributes. While some philosophers find this result acceptable\, I do not.  I dispute the view that we must find the morally relevant attributes in humans to justify their special moral status\, and argue instead for the moral relevance of species membership (on relational grounds)\; while\, at the same time\, granting that nonhuman animals can have morally relevant traits that ought to guide our treatment of them.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“An Unprecedented Obligation and Opportunity for the South”: World War II and the Death of the Southern Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gardner surveys the changes wrought by World War II to the book industry in general and to the southern renaissance in particular. Taking Lillian Smith’s Strange Fruit and Richard Wright’s Black Boy\, both published in 1944\, as case studies and expanding out\, Dr. Gardner argues that during the 1940s the South came to occupy a different literary position in the minds of industry insiders. The war changed which books were produced\, how they were produced\, and the ways they were pitched to an expanding market that demanded reading material that explained new wartime realities. In this climate\, few southern titles fit the bill. It also notes the ways in which the industry itself had changed. Southerners continued to publish fiction\, of course\, but by the 1940s there was hardly anything new about the overturning of the moonlight and magnolia school of southern letters. Renaissances cannot continue forever. Southern authors still might have something new to say\, but that was no longer revolutionary. The modern literary marketplace that had emerged in the 1920s and 1930s looked markedly different in the 1940s and 1950s. The war might not have signaled the death of Dixie\, as some prognosticators had suggested\, but it did signal the death of the southern literary renaissance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Expect Resistance: Artist Lecture & Reception with Shanna Merola
DESCRIPTION:In her lecture\, \"Expect Resistance\,\" Merola will discuss the various roles that art and activism play in her work with grassroots movements across the country - from the historic fight to reclaim Richmond\, Virginia’s African Burial Ground to the deeply embattled struggle over water privatization in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan. Within her different bodies of work Merola will also draw parallels between historic flashpoints in American history\, through an archival exploration of the Detroit 67 Rebellion to firsthand documentation from the front lines of Ferguson\, Missouri and Standing Rock\, North Dakota. \n\nFollowed by opening reception for Shanna Merola pop-up exhibition\, \"Another Country.\"\n\nAbout \"Another Country\":\n\nThe scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines.\n \nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Boundedly Rational Backward Induction
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe propose simple axioms that characterize a generalization of backward induction in which at any node of a decision tree\, the decision maker can look forward a fixed number of stages perfectly. Beyond that\, the decision maker aggregates continuation values according to a function that captures reasoning under unpredictability. The model is uniquely identified from the decision maker's preference over decision trees. The model allows the decision maker to iteratively revise her future plan\, as she moves forward in a decision tree. We analyze a comparative measure of unpredictability aversion\, and discuss how a principal may exploit the agent's imperfect foresight.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:Exploiting intuition from mirror symmetry\, we prove that if two Calabi-Yau invertible pencils in projective space have the same dual weights\, then they share a common polynomial factor in their zeta functions related to a hypergeometric Picard-Fuchs differential equation. The polynomial factor is defined over the rational numbers and has degree equal to the order of the Picard-Fuchs equation.  This talk describes joint work with Charles Doran\, Tyler Kelly\, Adriana Salerno\, Steven Sperber\, and John Voight. Speaker(s): Ursula Whitcher (Math Review)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Probing QCD Matter at Extremely High Temperatures in ATLAS: Jet Measurements in p+p\, p+Pb and Pb+Pb Collisions at 5 TeV
DESCRIPTION:Collisions between two lead nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider produce extremely high temperature QCD matter which is best described as consisting of deconfined quarks and gluons. A powerful tool to understand this matter is to use the high momentum quarks and gluons generated in hard scattering processes in the earliest stages of the nuclear collision as probes of the matter at later times. These measurements use modifications to the jet rates and properties induced by the scattering of the probes off the constituents of the matter to infer the nature of the interactions and constrain the properties of the matter. This talk will describe the new measurements at 5 TeV collision energy of jets and their properties in the ATLAS detector in lead-lead collisions as well proton-proton and proton-lead collisions which provide a baseline for the lead-lead measurements.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:How many alternating sign matrices are there? This question generated considerable interest in the early 1980s displaying deep connections to enumerative combinatorics of plane partitions. We shall review the story of this connection (following closely D. Bressoud's excellent book) which ultimately lead to the tour de force answer given by Zeilberger in 1996. In part I of this lecture we focus solely on the combinatorial approach. Speaker(s): Thomas Bothner (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. Incidental News: The Consumption of Current Events Information among Young People
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation I will share results of an ongoing\, mixed methods study of how people ages 18-29 access information about current events. The study shows that the ideal-typical mode in which young people consume news on social media can be characterized with the notion of “incidental news.” Although incidental learning of news has long existed\, it had been a secondary mode of information acquisition\, not the predominant one. On the basis of these findings I will reflect on current dynamics at the nexus of media\, technology and politics that have become central to contemporary culture.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Combinatorics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:In a list of problems published in 2001\, Alan Sokal conjectured a value D where the independence polynomial of graphs is zero-free in a neighborhood of the complex plane around an interval of the real segment [0\,D]. It is important to note that D is calculated (explicitly) using only the maximum degree of the graph.\n\nVery recently\, a proof of the validity and optimality of this conjecture was found using techniques in complex dynamics by Peters and Regts. After introducing some fundamentals\, I will give a brief outline of the proof followed by a short example of the importance of using dynamics to make the problem more approachable. Time permitting\, I will discuss some of the applications of the conjecture to computational complexity theory as well as physics. Speaker(s): Anthony Della Pella (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Island President's Struggle for Democracy and Environmental Justice in the Maldives
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Mohamed Nasheed became the first democratically elected president in the history of the island nation of the Maldives. His presidency was marked first by his heroic efforts to save his country from the ravages of rising sea-levels resulting from climate change\, as captured in the critically acclaimed documentary film The Island President (2011). Then\, afraid that he would expose the rampant corruption on their watch\, powerful players in the previous regime conspired to force him out of presidency and tortured and persecuted him. With his health deteriorating\, he managed to find exile in London with the help from international lawyers Jared Genser\, Amal Clooney\, and Ben Emmerson. He continues his tireless efforts to promote democracy in his homeland and is now poised to pursue presidency again in his beloved homeland. Featuring President Mohamed Nasheed\, his lawyer Jared Genser\, and Professor Rebecca Hardin of the UM School of Natural Resources and moderated by DHRC Director Kiyoteru Tsutsui\, the Donia Human Rights Center Panel will examine how global challenges of climate change\, environmental justice\, human rights\, and democracy converged in the Maldives and President Nasheed\, and explore possible ways forward as the next presidential election in the Maldives looms in 2018.  \n\nH. E. Mohamed Nasheed (President of Maldives\, 2008-2012)\nMohamed Nasheed is an activist\, journalist\, and politician who served as the first democratically elected president of the Maldives. Mr. Nasheed made a name for himself as a dissident journalist\, regularly challenging the authoritarian regime of former president Maumoon Gayoom.  As a result of his outspoken criticism\, he was repeatedly imprisoned.  In 2003\, Mr. Nasheed formed the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party and in 2008\, on a platform of human rights and democratic principles\, he was elected president in the country’s first multi-party democratic elections.  Mr. Nasheed used his position as a platform for democratic reforms and climate activism. Mr. Nasheed's presidency was cut short in 2012 by a coup\, and he was later arrested on false charges intended to remove him and his political party\, which continued to be very popular among the people.  Freedom Now worked on his case\, along with Amal Clooney\, and in October 2015\, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued an opinion finding Mr. Nasheed's detention to be in violation of international law and called on the Maldivian government to release him.  After an escalating advocacy campaign by Freedom Now and his pro bono legal team\, the government granted Mr. Nasheed medical leave in January 2016\, allowing him to travel to the UK. In May 2016\, the UK government granted him asylum. President Nasheed won the 2009 Anna Lindh Prize\, in recognition of his work promoting human rights\, democracy and environmental protection. In September 2009\, Time Magazine declared President Nasheed a ‘Hero of the Environment’. In April 2010\, the United Nations presented Nasheed with its ‘Champions of the Earth’ environment award. In August 2010\, Newsweek named President Nasheed in its list of ‘World’s Ten Best Leaders’. In 2012\, The Island President\, a documentary feature film about Nasheed\, was released in theaters worldwide. In June 2012\, Nasheed was presented with the James Lawson Award for the practice of non-violent action.\n\nJared Genser\nJared Genser is Managing Director of Perseus Strategies\, a law and consulting firm that focuses on human rights\, humanitarian\, and corporate social responsibility projects.  He is also Founder of Freedom Now\, a non-governmental organization that works to free prisoners of conscience worldwide.  Genser was an Associate of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University from 2014-2016\, a Visiting Fellow with the National Endowment for Democracy from 2006-2007\, and was previously named by the National Law Journal as one of “40 Under 40: Washington’s Rising Stars.”  Before founding Perseus Strategies\, Genser was a partner in the government affairs practice of DLA Piper LLP and a management consultant with McKinsey & Company.  He has taught semester-long seminars about the UN Security Council at Georgetown University Law Center and the University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania law schools.  His pro bono clients have included former Czech Republic President Václav Havel and Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Aung San Suu Kyi\, Liu Xiaobo\, Desmond Tutu\, and Elie Wiesel.  Genser holds a B.S. from Cornell University\, an M.P.P. from Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government\, where he was an Alumni Public Service Fellow\, and a J.D. cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School.  He is author of The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice(Cambridge University Press\, Forthcoming 2017).  In addition\, he is co-editor of The UN Security Council in the Age of Human Rights (Cambridge University Press\, 2014) and The Responsibility to Protect: The Promise of Stopping Mass Atrocities in Our Times (Oxford University Press\, 2011). Genser is the recipient of the American Bar Association’s International Human Rights Award\, Liberty in North Korea’s Freedom Fighter Award\, and the Charles Bronfman Prize.\"\n\nRebecca Hardin\nProfessor Hardin’s areas of interest and scientific study include human/wildlife interactions\, and social and environmental change related to wildlife management\, tourism\, logging\, and mining in equatorial Africa\, especially the western Congo basin. Recent projects also focus on the increasingly intertwined practices of health\, environmental management\, and corporate governance in southern and eastern Africa\, including sites in South Africa and Kenya. In 2013-14 she advised a student team studying environmental justice cases within the U.S.\, and connecting them to the international Environmental Justice Atlas. In 2014–15 she advised a student team assessing groundwater and surface water resources across the African continent\, and advising GETF about how to make a better business case for water related investment by businesses in Africa. She teaches and mentors students interested in international environmental practice and policy\, wildife management\, human relationships to landscape\, environmental justice\, and global health. She also provides support for the students who are the genius behind SNRE's weekly environmental talk and music show\, It’s Hot in Here\, airing at noon on Fridays on WCBN FM 88.3\, and with an accompanying blog and mp3 archive. The show helps researchers discuss their work with local audiences interested in environmental policy affecting Michigan\, and also reach out to national and transnational audiences streaming the show via the Internet. Her recent book Transforming Ethnographic Knowledge explores the discipline of anthropology as a set of skills and tools for social change in sectors as different as business\, biological conservation\, conflict resolution\, and biomedical care. Rebecca teaches courses in both SNRE and the Department of Anthropology\, she also founded and coordinates SNRE's Environmental Justice Certificate Program for students beyond those two units working in or studying communities who are either negatively impacted by environmental harms\, or experiencing inequality of access to environmental goods and ecosystem services.  Rebecca currently coordinates the Environmental Justice field of study and coordinates the Michigan Sustainability Cases initiative.\n\nPhoto credit: Chiara Goia\nCaption: President Mohamed \"Anni\" Nasheed

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:Let K be a p-adic field and M a finite continuous Galois module. Local Tate duality is a perfect duality between the Galois cohomology of M and the Galois cohomology of its dual module. In the special case when M is the module of the m-torsion points of an abelian variety A over K\, Tate has a finer result. In this case the group H^1(K\,M) has a significant subgroup\, namely there is map from the K-rational points of A to H^1(K\,M) induced by the Kummer sequence on A. Tate computed the orthogonal complement of A(K) under the duality pairing. \n\nIn this talk I will present an analogue for H^2 of this classical result. The \"significant subgroup\" in this case will be given by a Galois symbol map\, similar to the classical Galois symbol of the  Bloch-Kato conjecture. After introducing the set up and discussing some details of the main theorem\, I will present some applications to zero cycles and to p-adic Hodge theory.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Another Country
DESCRIPTION:The scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GOIN’ NORTH: BLACK DETROIT  AND THE  GREAT MIGRATION\,  1910-1930
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nExhibit of photographs and documents produced by the Michigan Historical Collections in Commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day at the University of Michigan\, published 1991.\nBLACK DETROIT AND THE GREAT MIGRATION\n\nSince Norf is up\,\nAn’ Souf is down\,\nAn’ Hebben is up\,\nI’m upward boun’.*\nThey came to Detroit by the thousands from Georgia\, Alabama\, Tennessee\, South Caroline and they stayed. They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Environmental Research Seminar - Air Pollution and Autism: Causal or Confounded?
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Weisskopf is an Associate Professor of Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology at Harvard's School of Public Health.\nAbstract:  In the last decade\, several studies have examined the association between perinatal exposure to ambient air pollution and risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).  Associations have been seen with different aspects of air pollution\, including hazardous air toxics\, ozone\, particulate and traffic-related pollution.  As with any epidemiological study\, confounding can be a concern\; in the case of air pollution\, socioeconomic status and place of residence are of particular concern as these can be related to ASD case ascertain- ment and other potential causal risk factors for ASD.  I will discuss our work within the Nurses’ Health Study II cohort in this context. We find an increased risk of ASD with increasing maternal exposure to particulate matter air pollution ≤2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) during pregnancy\, and specifically the 3rd trimester. I will discuss the implications of time window specific associations for confounding and the epidemiological methods concept of negative controls as well as other methodological concepts related to this work. Sponsored by the Integrated Health Sciences Core of the Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center (M-LEEaD).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Of Cheese and Curds in China
DESCRIPTION:Nowadays\, the Chinese are famous for their food—but not for their cheeses or for their dairy products. Scholarly and popular accounts explain this through biological and cultural factors—the prevalence of lactose intolerance and xenophobia\, for example. This talk challenges the popular and scholarly view through a mouthwatering tour of dishes composed of curds. It traces the long history of curds in China\, demonstrating that such foods were regarded as delicacies by the elite\, and account for their sudden and belated disappearance from the modern Chinese diet. The talk then concludes by exploring the modern legacies of the Chinese fascination with curds. \n    \nMiranda Brown is Professor of Chinese Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, where she has taught since completing her PhD in History at UC Berkeley in 2002. She is the author of more than a dozen articles in Chinese cultural and social history and two books: \"The Politics of Mourning in Early China\" (2007) and \"The Art of Medicine in Early China: The Ancient and Medieval Origins of a Modern Archive\" (2015). She is also a founding editor of \"Fragments: Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Ancient and Medieval Pasts.\" She is currently preoccupied with the history of Chinese food.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2016 Ralph Baldwin Prize in Astrophysics and Space Science (Reception at 3pm\, Lecture at 3:40pm)
DESCRIPTION:Title: From Disks to Planets Through the Astrochemical Lens\n\nAbstract: During the first few Myr of a young\, Sun-like star's life\, it is encircled by a disk made up of molecular gas\, dust\, and ice. These materials form the building blocks for future planetary systems. Improvements in observational spatial resolution and sensitivity have allowed us to characterize the protoplanetary disk environment in great detail. Recent interferometric observations with both the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) have shed light on disks' chemical composition and the structure of their rocky/solid and gaseous components\, which together feed young terrestrial and gas giant planets. I will discuss recent results and new puzzles regarding our understanding of protoplanetary disk chemical and structural evolution\, along with future avenues to detect individual young planets forming in situ.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Adding Trapped Molecules to the Quantum Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:Development of laser-based techniques to cool and manipulate trapped atoms led to a quantum revolution\, with applications ranging from creation of novel phases of matter to realization of new tools for navigation and timekeeping. Because of their comparatively richer internal structure\, molecules offer additional potential for quantum-controlled chemistry\, quantum information processing\, and precision spectroscopy. However\, obtaining control over the rotational quantum state of trapped molecules\, a prerequisite for most applications\, has presented a significant challenge because of the large number of internal states. I will discuss techniques we have developed to optically cool rotations of trapped molecular ions\, using a single spectrally shaped broadband laser. I will also discuss our progress toward using this quantum control for molecular coherent manipulation\, single-molecule fluorescence imaging\, and single-molecule spectroscopy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Politics\, Policy\, and Poverty in Brazil
DESCRIPTION:Improvement in human welfare and the deepening of political and civic rights in profoundly unequal societies are of fundamental importance to interdisciplinary scholarship in the social sciences\, and are at the heart of social justice struggles in Latin America and around the globe. In light of these real and pressing challenges to human development\, two core questions motivate Dr. Kaknes’ lecture. First\, what policy innovations might advance the health and well being of poor people in developing democracies? And second\, in what ways might these social programs strengthen emergent democratic systems? In addressing these questions\, her talk will highlight the ways in which middle-income countries combat economic inequality\, and how anti-poverty policy affects democratic life for beneficiaries. Using data from her original surveys across the country\, she will speak about these policies’ effects on the quality of democracy in Brazil. \n\nElizabeth Kaknes is a Weiser Emerging Democracies Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2016-17 academic year. Her research focuses on the political and social effects of development policy in middle-income countries. She is interested broadly in democratic consolidation and development\, social policy\, Latin American politics\, and survey methodology.\n\nHer core research project entitled\, “Politics\, Poverty\, and Policy in Brazil\,” strives to understand how universalistic social programs help to construct robust party systems and citizenry in developing democracies. It employs original field surveys to understand the ways in which redistributive social policy affects recipients’ political attitudes in Brazil\, and subsequently assesses the ways in which social policy can contribute to the process of democratic consolidation in middle-income countries. Through an in-depth examination of Brazil’s Bolsa Familia Program (a means-tested anti-poverty program that transfers monthly cash stipends to beneficiaries) it highlights the capacity of social policy to contribute to democratic consolidation even in extreme instances of longstanding institutional weakness\, as is historically the case in Brazil. Through a multipartite examination of behavioral effects to the policy’s target population\, it strives to understand the intermediary effects of policy on mass opinion. These constituent foci highlight key areas of scholarly debate regarding the political profile of a vibrant polity: (1) the electoral connection\, (2) social class and race\, and (3) democratic confidence and efficacy.\n\nDuring her association with the Weiser Center\, Kaknes will focus on a related set of projects that advance her ongoing inquiry into the political ramifications of development policies. Specifically\, these papers assess the role of various anti-poverty\, health\, and education programs in conditioning voter behavior\, public goods usage\, and attitudes of social mobility in Brazil\, Ecuador\, and Mexico. She completed her Ph.D. in foreign affairs at the University of Virginia and has a B.A. in international affairs and Spanish from the University of Mary Washington.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:Differential Galois theory is an algebraic theory for linear differential equations\, in analogy to classical Galois theory. It was proposed by Picard and Vessiot\, developed by Kolchin\, and is closely tied to the theory of linear algebraic groups. Patching techniques have been used in inverse Galois theory and more recently in other areas of algebra and arithmetic geometry. The talk gives an introduction to differential Galois theory and to patching. Using patching methods\, we will deduce new properties of differential Galois extensions over function fields of Riemann surfaces. As time permits\, we will also point out connections to local-global principles for homogeneous spaces.  Speaker(s): Julia Hartmann (University of Pennsylvania)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:From Frederick Douglass to Leo Tolstoy: Race and the Thought Pictures of the Caucasus
DESCRIPTION:In her forthcoming book Black Sea\, Black Atlantic: Frederick Douglass\, the Circassian Beauties\, and American Racial Formation in the Wake of the Civil War (Harvard University Press)\, Sarah Lewis explores the Caucasus mountain range in Russia and how the emerging technology of photography was used to develop myths of Caucasian racial identity (and by extension racial purity) in the nineteenth century. The project works at a unique intersection of African American Studies\, Art History\, and Slavic Studies to explore the enduring power of these Black Sea-related photographs of Circassia. These “thought pictures” about race as Frederick Douglass might have called them underscore the tenuousness\, a nervousness even at the heart of the racial project throughout the twentieth century.\n\nSarah Lewis received her bachelor’s degree from Harvard University\, an M. Phil from Oxford University\, and her Ph.D. from Yale University. Before joining the faculty at Harvard\, she held curatorial positions at The Museum of Modern Art\, New York and the Tate Modern\, London. She has served on President Obama’s Arts Policy Committee and currently serves on the advisory council of the International Review of African-American Art and the board of the Andy Warhol Foundation of the Visual Arts\, Creative Time\, and The CUNY Graduate Center. She is the author of The Rise: Creativity\, the Gift of Failure\, and the Search for Master\, a widely acclaimed exploration of human creative experience.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please email slavic@umich.edu or call 734-764-5355 by 3/1/2017.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Banner Ballads: The Many Lyrics of “The Star-Spangled Banner”
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague explores more than 100 different sets of words sung to the tune we recognize today as only “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Mark Clague reveals that Francis Scott Key’s famous song is just one moment in a dynamic and lyrical conversation about what the nation was\, is\, and could be. \n\nThe program will incorporate music examples\, following the anthem's 200-year journey from broadside\, to victory ballad\, to protest song\, to anthem and back again.\n\nMark Clague is an Associate Professor of musicology and American culture at the University of Michigan's School of Music\, Theater & Dance\, and co-director of the American Music Institute. He also manages the comprehensive website: starspangledmusic.org. A nationally-recognized expert on the anthem\, Clague is the founding board chair of the Star Spangled Music Foundation.\n\nThis program introduces the new Ford Library lobby exhibit “Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life\,” which follows The Star-Spangled Banner from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day\, and explores the social history of our national song.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Another Country
DESCRIPTION:The scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Black Bodies\, Social Justice\, and the Archive
DESCRIPTION:In association with the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Lecture featuring civil rights lawyer and social justice advocate Bryan Stevenson\, the Institute for the Humanities and the University of Michigan School of Information will host an open seminar on the relationships between the new conceptions of the archive and the advancement of social justice causes in the United States. \n\nAmidst the rejection of facts and historical perspective\, progress in addressing structural and overt racism\, police brutality\, and inequitable incarceration requires a critical interrogation of what an archive is\, where it lives or dies\, and how it should persist and be used. The day-long seminar will bring together a group of junior scholars from around the country whose work is deeply informed by the witnessing power of the archive – from body cam data to hidden historical records – to illuminate and address contemporary social justice challenges. \n\nThe event is free and open to the public.\n\nPhoto: A jar of soil from the site of each lynching in Alabama\, at the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery\, Alabama.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GOIN’ NORTH: BLACK DETROIT  AND THE  GREAT MIGRATION\,  1910-1930
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nExhibit of photographs and documents produced by the Michigan Historical Collections in Commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day at the University of Michigan\, published 1991.\nBLACK DETROIT AND THE GREAT MIGRATION\n\nSince Norf is up\,\nAn’ Souf is down\,\nAn’ Hebben is up\,\nI’m upward boun’.*\nThey came to Detroit by the thousands from Georgia\, Alabama\, Tennessee\, South Caroline and they stayed. They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Bootstrapping Gross-Neveu Models
DESCRIPTION:We study the conformal bootstrap for 4-point functions of fermions in parity-preserving 3D CFTs\, where fermions transforms as a vector under an O(N) global symmetry. We compute bounds on scaling dimensions and central charges\, finding features in our bounds that appear to coincide with the O(N) symmetric Gross-Neveu-Yukawa fixed points. Our computations are in perfect agreement with the 1/N expansion at large N and allow us to make nontrivial predictions at small N.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Medieval Lunch. Scribal Protagonism in the Codex Albeldensis (975-976 CE)
DESCRIPTION:The illuminated manuscripts of 10th-century Christian Iberia are remarkable not only for their beauty\, but also for the insistence with which the people who made them draw our attention to their activity through explicit visual and linguistic representation. My book-in-progress\, Remember the Hand\, argues that\, while of course serving the authoritative text that they copy and illuminate\, these makers pursue a parallel agenda that gives protagonism not only to the authoritative text that the codex contains\, but also to the codex itself as material object and the book worker responsible for its existence. \n\nThis talk will explore how this protagonism of codex and maker works in the great illuminated law compendium that is the Codex Albeldensis\, completed by Vigila\, his associate Sarracinus\, and his student Garcia in 977 CE.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Spectacular\, Spectacular: Large-Scale Performance in Contemporary China
DESCRIPTION:From massive song-and-dance epics celebrating national holidays to the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics in 2008\, contemporary Chinese culture has become known for large-scale performances and their spectacular displays of high-tech special effects. For the Opening Ceremony\, for instance\, dazzling graphics flashed across an enormous LED scroll and aerospace control systems were employed to monitor thousands upon thousands of performers. Likewise\, numerous site-specific “real-scenery performances” (shijing yanchu 實景演出) at tourist destinations like West Lake in Hangzhou and Wutai Mountain in Shanxi project swirling patterns and candy-colored lights onto the environments in which they are situated. These theatrical productions become performances of technology\, setting digital effects and computerized equipment on par with human actors and complicating concepts of live performance\, natural landscape\, and national culture.\n\nThe role of mechanical and digital technologies in live theater has been extensively discussed and theorized in relation to Euro-American theater. Yet\, few scholars to date have considered the unique politics\, economics\, and aesthetics of parallel trends in East Asia. Tracing the rise to prominence of such phenomena in the PRC\, this presentation will demonstrate that showcasing Chinese innovation has become a central concern of state-sponsored and commercial theatrical productions over the last fifteen years. In successfully doing so\, large-scale performance has also established an aesthetic of technological excess as one of the key artistic modes of contemporary Chinese theater—one that dominates China’s main stages and incites critical responses from more avant-garde corners of the performing arts world.\n\nTarryn Li-Min Chun is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from Harvard University in 2016. She also holds an M.A. in Regional Studies-East Asia from Harvard and an B.A. in East Asian Studies from Princeton University. Her research focuses on theater and performance in 20th-21st century China and Taiwan\, and he current book project\, “Staging Revolution and Resistance: Theater\, Technology\, and Media in Modern China\,” explores the relationship between technological modernization and artistic innovation in Chinese theater and performance from the 1930s to the present.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:We solve the martingale optimal transport problem for cost functionals represented by optimal stopping problems. The measure-valued martingale approach developed in ArXiv: 1507.02651 allows us to obtain an equivalent infinite-dimensional controller-stopper problem. We use the stochastic Perron's method and characterize the finite dimensional approximation as a viscosity solution to the corresponding HJB equation. It turns out that this solution is the concave envelope of the cost function with respect to the atoms of the terminal law. We demonstrate the results by finding explicit solutions for a class of cost functions.\n\nJoint work with Erhan Bayraktar (UM) and Alex Cox (Bath). Speaker(s): Yavor Stoev (UM)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Rape of Nicole and the Murder of Jennifer: Gender\, Sovereignty and the U.S. Military in Subic Bay\, Philippines
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Professor Reyes will analyze two legal cases: the rape of Filipina Nicole by Lance Corporal Daniel Smith\, a U.S. Marine\, and the murder of transgender Filipina Jennifer by Lance Corporal Joseph Pemberton\, also a U.S. Marine.\n\nShe will demonstrate how U.S. and Philippine government officials\, lawyers\, judges\, and activists engaged in jurisdictional boundary-making regarding who has which rights to try\, convict\, and punish U.S. service members who commit crimes against locals. These claims revolved around particular understandings of class\, nationalism\, and gender-based discrimination. The sovereignty and abilities of the nation to assert jurisdictional rights over the accused are directly linked to bodies and the extent to which Philippine officials are able to protect Filipinas from violence caused by citizens of their former colonial overlord and their ability to punish the men who violated these daughters of the nation. The ability to punish violators include not only whether they are tried in Philippine courts\, but also whether the Philippines is able to maintain custody during trial and after subsequent guilty verdicts as well as dictate where and how they would be detained.

SUMMARY:Other:Characterizing Protein Glutathionylation in Response to Mitochondrial ROS
DESCRIPTION:Mitochondria are the central organelle for cellular metabolism while being an important source of ROS production.1 Importantly\, mitochondrial ROS (mROS) are emerging as key pathophysiological molecules in cardiac cells as well as a broad cardiovascular system. The complex role of mROS is largely mediated by protein oxidative modifications\, including glutathionylation that is a disulfide bond formation of protein cysteine residue with intracellular glutathione. Although several biochemical methods for identifying glutathionylation are available\, individual approach has its own limitations. In order to identify and characterize protein glutathionylation\, we recently developed a novel chemical method\, namely clickable glutathione\, that selectively detects glutathionylation in response to ROS. The central idea was to tag a ‘clickable’ functionality to glutathione by engineering glutathione synthetase (GS)\, a non-rate limiting enzyme in glutathione (γGlu-Cys-Gly) biosynthesis. With this approach\, we analyzed glutathionylation of global and individual proteins in response to metabolic alteration that increases mROS production. Proteomic and biochemical analysis with our clickable glutathione approach led to identifying multiple target proteins of glutathionylation\, including SMYD2 implicated in cardiac and skeletal muscle. In this talk\, I will present our clickable glutathione approach\, characterization of glutathionylation in metabolic alteration\, and functional significance of SMYD2 glutathionylation in muscle.\nYoung-Hoon Ahn (Wayne State University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Building with Crystals of Light and Quantum Matter: From Clocks to Computers
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the behavior of interacting electrons in solids or liquids is at the heart of modern quantum science and necessary for technological advances. However\, the complexity of their interactions generally prevents us from coming up with an exact mathematical description of their behavior. Precisely engineered ultracold gases are emerging as a powerful tool for unraveling these challenging physical problems. In this talk\, I will present recent developments at JILA on using alkaline-earth atoms (AEAs) --currently the basis of the most precise atomic clock in the world-- for the investigation of complex many-body phenomena and magnetism. I will discuss ideas to use AEAs to engineer synthetic materials with no yet known counterpart in nature. I will also discuss how to use laser fields to make neutral AEAs behave as charged electrons in ultra-strong magnetic fields.

In this talk\, we will look at one approach to this problem\, based on the theory of nonlinear expectations. We will consider the large-sample theory of these estimators\, and also connections to `robust statistics' in the sense of Huber.\n Speaker(s): Sam Cohen (Oxford)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The DAAS Diasporic Dialogues Workshop in conjunction with PCWID
DESCRIPTION:Immigration\, as crisis and in times of crisis\, routinely cycles through as a news topic of the day. This talk will explore the story of immigration and citizenship\, and the ways that race\, gender\, and class shape national belonging and identity. Using Haiti\, Cuba\, and the United States as primary triangulated sites of examination\, I will argue that citizenship in all of its forms is often rhetorically\, representationally\, and legally negated by race\, particularly blackness. Further\, I will explore the ways that media representations of blackness impact one’s ability to travel across national and social borders and become a citizen. \n Manoucheka Celeste is an Assistant Professor at the University of Florida with a joint appointment at the Center for Gender\, Sexualities\, and Women’s Studies Research and the African American Studies Program. Her research centers on representational constructions of race\, gender\, class\, and nation\, and processes of identity formation\, with a specific emphasis on citizenship narratives surrounding immigration\, tourism\, immigrants\, and black women. Her regional focus is the Caribbean\, particularly Haiti. Her most recent publications include her first book Race\, Gender\, and Citizenship in the African Diaspora: Travelling Blackness (Routledge 2017) and the article “Entertaining mobility: the racialized and gendered nation in House Hunters International” in Feminist Media Studies (2016).  She holds a Ph.D. in Communication and Graduate Certificate in Feminist Studies from the University of Washington.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION: Given a projective manifold\, one can measure the positive directions in its tangent bundle by evaluating the slopes of its sub-sheaves with respect to movable classes. We show that the holomorphic foliations with positive slope and stable with respect to a movable class are algebraic. As a consequence\, we infer that any quotient of an arbitrary tensor power of the cotangent bundle of the manifold has a pseudo-effective determinant\, provided that the canonical class of the manifold is pseudo-effective. This represents a generalization of the celebrated generic semi-positivity theorem by Y. Miyaoka. A few other applications will be discussed. These results are part of a joint work with F. Campana.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hajja Razia Sharif Sheikh Lecture in Islamic Studies
DESCRIPTION:Patriarchs and prophets are mentioned in the Qur’an and appear in all Islamic literary genres and literature from early Islam to contemporary Muslim societies. Continuity and change\, exegetical concerns and narratives stances appear throughout the ages in relation to this literature on the prophets\, reflecting the changing concerns of Muslim societies and cultures. At the beginning the Qur’anic lives and stories from Adam to Jesus are given as an example for Muhammad and the believers and constitute the main reference to the past history of humankind. In Medieval ages further stories and narratives were produced. These stories were collected in a specific literary genre (Qisas al-anbiya’) and spread in the Muslim world through elaborations and versions in Persian\, Turkish and all the other languages. Following a continuous activity of transmission\, collection and innovation\, the traditions and stories about the prophets of Islam crossed late Medieval and modern times and came to contemporary literary re-workings. But new theological approaches and a substantial rejection of some of the Medieval traditions labeled as isra’iliyyat mark this new literature on the prophets.   \n\n\nRoberto Tottoli (PhD 1996 Naples - Orientale) is Professor of Islamic studies at the University of Naples L'Orientale and during the year Member of the Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton. He has published studies on the Biblical tradition in the Qur’an and Islam (Biblical prophets in the Qur’an and Muslim literature\, Richmond\, 2002\; The stories of the prophets of Ibn  Mutarrif al-Tarafi\, Berlin\, 2003) and the medieval Islamic literature. His most recent publications include Ludovico Marracci at work: The Evolution of his Latin translation of the Qur’ān in the light of his newly discovered manuscripts (co-authored with Reinhold F. Glei)\, Wiesbaden\, Harrassowitz\, 2016\; and Books and Written Culture of Islamic World. Studies Presented to Claude Gilliot on the Occasion of His 75th Birthday (edited with Andrew Rippin)\, Leiden – Boston\, 2015.\n\nThe Hajja Razia Sharif Sheikh Lecure in Islamic Studies is made possible by the Hajja Razia Sharif Sheikh endowment.

SUMMARY:Performance:Fred Eaglesmith
DESCRIPTION:Fred Eaglesmith is Ontario's roots-country original! There are other songwriters who populate their creations with small-time crooks\, small-town loners\, and working-class heroes. But Fred Eaglesmith's songs stand out for their edge of desperation and their raucous yet bemused humor—and for the incredible energy and on-the-edge quality of his live shows. Circulating on tour from his Ontario farm\, Fred harks back to an earlier era of roots music with his raw\, driving country soul. Fred's 20th album\, \"Tambourine\,\" draws on the spirit of pure 1960s rock and roll.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Another Country
DESCRIPTION:The scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GOIN’ NORTH: BLACK DETROIT  AND THE  GREAT MIGRATION\,  1910-1930
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nExhibit of photographs and documents produced by the Michigan Historical Collections in Commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day at the University of Michigan\, published 1991.\nBLACK DETROIT AND THE GREAT MIGRATION\n\nSince Norf is up\,\nAn’ Souf is down\,\nAn’ Hebben is up\,\nI’m upward boun’.*\nThey came to Detroit by the thousands from Georgia\, Alabama\, Tennessee\, South Caroline and they stayed. They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frequentist/Bayes controversies\, homeopathy and (ES)P-values
DESCRIPTION:I compare and contrast the two predominant philosophies for characterizing empirical uncertainty\, frequentist and Bayesian statistics. The frequentist approach\, in particular Neyman’s formulation of confidence intervals and Neyman-Pearson significance testing\, held sway in much of the last century\, but the Bayesian approach has experienced a dramatic revival in recent years. I’ll discuss why. While frequentist ideas remain essential for keeping our models from sending us off the rails\, Bayes provides a comprehensive and logical inferential framework for addressing the entire spectrum of uncertainty\, from extraterrestrial life to tennis strategy. The P-value debate\, homeopathic treatments and ESP are discussed from the Bayesian and frequentist perspectives.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Health Track:  The Career Benefits of Becoming a Medical Scribe
DESCRIPTION:Andrea Campos and Lauren Yangouyian\,  with ScribeAmerica at Michigan Medicine (formerly UMHS)\, will talk about their decision to become a scribe.  Andrea chose to scribe for her gap year to augment her clinical experience\; she will start PA school this summer.  Lauren is currentlyworking as a scribe while also pursuing a master's degree while preparingto apply to medical school this summer. Both report that besides the obvious networking\, scribing also afforded them the opportunity to gain exposure to prescriptions\, blood work\, imaging\, medical terminology\, physical exam findings\, chronic diseases & management\, patient interaction andelectronic medical records.  But above anything else\, scribing helped them clarify and prepare to fulfill their career goals.  Come learn how scribing in general can help you prepare for health profession school and how to apply for ScribeAmerica in particular.  This program is part of the MarchMEDness\, sponsored by the University Career Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Arithmetic
DESCRIPTION:Let F be a finite field. The ring of formal power series F[[t]] is the t-adic completion of the polynomial ring F[t]. Completing F[t] introduces many new elements: most are transcendental\, but some are algebraic. How do we recognize the formal power series which are algebraic over F[t]? Christol gave a beautifully simple answer to this question using the concept of finite automaton from theoretical computer science. I will discuss the proof of this theorem\, give applications and examples\, and note extensions as time permits. No background with finite automata or computer science will be assumed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM Theory Seminars | Hunds Interaction\, Spin-Orbit Coupling and the Mechanism of Superconductivity in Heavily Hole-Doped Iron Pnictides
DESCRIPTION:Argument will be made for a novel unconventional mechanism for s-wave (A1g) Cooper pairing in heavily hole doped iron pnictides. This mechanism avoids large on-site intra-orbital repulsion\, and is favored when the renormalized Hunds interaction exceeds the renormalized onsite inter-orbital Couplomb repulsion. In the absence of spin-orbit interaction\, the Cooper pairing has A2g spin triplet character\, but with spin-orbit included\, the gap transforms as A1g. This is not just a change in bookkeeping. Rather\, it results in a qualitative difference in the nature of the pairing instability\, and in the temperature dependence of the Knight shift. The resulting gap has most of the features of the structure and gap anisotropy observed in laser angle resolved photoemission\, including thepossibility of accidental nodes. It explains why\, when such nodes are observed\, they appear only on the outer (Eg) Fermi surface\, as well as why the overall gap magnitude is smaller there than on the inner (Eg) Fermi surface.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Econometrics: Bayesian Indirect Inference and the ABC of GMM
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn this paper we propose and study local linear and polynomial based estimators for implementing Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) style indirect inference and GMM estimators. This method makes use of nonparametric regression in the computation of GMM and Indirect Inference models. We provide formal conditions under which frequentist inference is asymptotically valid and demonstrate the validity of the estimated posterior quantiles for confidence interval construction. We also show that in this setting\, local linear kernel regression methods have theoretical advantages over local constant kernel methods that are also reflected in finite sample simulation results. Our results also apply to both exactly and over identified models. These estimators do not need to rely on numerical optimization or Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations. They provide an effective complement to the classical M-estimators and to MCMC methods\, and can be applied to both likelihood based models and method of moment based models.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:Cartier algebras and their duals\, rings of Frobenius operators\,  have come up in the study of Frobenius splittings\, which have been useful in many topics ranging from singularity theory in algebraic geometry to representation theory.  When R is a local ring of characteristic p >0\, the Cartier algebra C\, which is the ring of all potential Frobenius splittings of R\, is dual to the ring of Frobenius operators (p^{e}-linear maps) on the injective hull of the residue field.  This ring of Frobenius operators need not be finitely generated over R\, which led Enescu and Yao to define Frobenius complexity as a measure of its non-finite generation.  In their examples Frobenius complexity is not always even rational\, but its limit\, as p goes to infinity\, is an integer.  Few other examples have been computed.  In this talk\, I will discuss a method to compute limit Frobenius complexity for Hibi rings\, which are a class of toric rings defined from finite posets.  I will show that this computation can be read directly from the defining poset in nice cases. Speaker(s): Janet Page (University of Illinois at Chicago)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The well-known (and still open) slicing problem in Convex Geometry asks whether there exists an absolute constant c so that for every origin-symmetric convex body K  of volume 1 there is a hyperplane section of K whose (n-1)-dimensional volume is greater than c. Alex Koldobsky proposed a number of generalizations of this question to the case of the most general measures instead of the volume. Motivated by Koldobsky's work\, we are studying a similar  slicing problem  when the volume functional is replaced by the lattice point enumerator (i.e. the number of integer lattice points inside a given set).  This is a joint work with Matthew Alexander and Martin Henk. Speaker(s): Artem Zvavitch (Kent State University)

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CSAS Film Screening | Cities of Sleep
DESCRIPTION:‘Cities of Sleep’ (dir: Shaunak Sen) takes us into a heady world of insurgent sleeper’s communities as well as the infamous ‘sleep mafia’ in Delhi where just securing a safe sleeping spot often becomes a question of life and death for a large number of people.\n\nThe film trails the lives of two individuals\, Shakeel and Ranjeet. Shakeel\, a renegade homeless sleeper has for the last 7 years slept in a diverse range of improvised places like subways\, under park benches\, parking lots\, abandoned cars and lately\, at areas controlled by the sleep mafia. The film follows his attempts to secure a safe sleepingspace just around the time the infamous winter rains of Delhi are due.\n\nRanjeet runs the ‘sleep-cinema’ community in Loha Pul in Delhi\, a huge double-storey iron bridge straddling the banks of the river Yamuna. A thin strip of land under Loha Pul houses shanty cinemas where over 400 odd homeless come and sleep through the day for a nominal price. The flooding of the river Yamuna poses a threat to the people sleeping there every monsoon.\n\nThe film looks at not only the tremendous social and political pressure that sleep exerts on the homeless in the city but is also a philosophical exploration of sleep at large.\n\nOfficial facebook page: https://goo.gl/B3lYx3\n\nSHAUNAK SEN is a filmmaker\, video artist and film sholar based in Delhi. ‘Cities of Sleep’ (2016) his first feature length documentary film that has shown and won awards at various major international film festivals including the Dok Leipzig\, Taiwan International Film Festival\, the Seattle South Asian Film Festival among others.\n \nHe co-curated a live-event installation called Downtime held simultaneously at Delhi and Berlin (at the Goethe Institute in New Delhi and Neukölln in Berlin) in November 2014. He also co-curated a live performance/video installation event 'Notes on Mourning' at Khoj Studios in January 2015 (co-curated by Arnika Ahldag and Amitesh Grover). He attended the Copycat Academy Residency\, curated by Hannah Hurtzig at the Luminatos Film Festival in Toronto in June 2015. He has received the Pro Helvetia residency in Switzerland for 2016. He curated the group exhibition ‘A Brief History of Horizontality’ in Bern\, Switzerland in May 2016.\n\nShaunak was also the recipient of the Digital and Social Media Fellowship from Sarai in 2014\, as well as the Films Division of India Documentary Film Fellowship in 2013.. A mass communication graduate of AJK MCRC Jamia Milia\, New Delhi he is currently enrolled as a PhD student at the School of Arts and Aesthetics at the Jawahar Lal Nehru University in Delhi. His academic writing has been published in various journals including Bioscope and Widescreen. He has also worked as a journalist for Tehelka and as a freelance investigative journalist for other media portals.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar: Coexistence in diverse coflowering communities: importance of post-pollination interactions
DESCRIPTION:In the wild plants exist in multispecies groups and often share pollinators which can lead to exchange of pollen between different species. Interspecific pollen transfer leads to conspecific pollen loss and heterospecific pollen receipt\, the latter of which leads to a unique suite of plant-plant interactions on the stigma.  The question of how plant-pollinator interactions contribute to flowering plant communities has largely focused on plant traits that mediate pre-pollination interactions\, and ignored the potential for traits that mediate these post-pollination processes. In this talk I describe how common and complex post-pollination interactions can be in the wild\, especially in the diverse coflowering communities of the serpentine in California.  I further explore the diverse effects of heterospecific pollen receipt on plant fitness\, with a focus on understanding the traits that mediate this diversity.  I put forward a hypothesis for the involvement of post-pollination interactions in plant species coexistence and test elements of it with data from the serpentine seep communities.  By understanding the consequences of plant interactions via their shared pollinators we can better predict sustainability of natural flowering plant communities\, as well as the consequences of disruption of these from global change\, such as climate warming\, invasive species\, or pollinator decline.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Howard R. Marsh Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The FBI has classified environmentalists and animal rights advocates as the \"number one domestic terrorism threat.\" despite the fact that these social movements have never harmed a human being - instead\, these protesters have harmed corporate profits. In response\, corporations have successfully lobbied for new state and federal laws that reclassify non-violent civil disobedience as \"terrorism\,\" and recent legislation even criminalizes journalists and whistle blowers who expose environmental pollution or animal cruelty. \n\nInvestigative journalist Will Potter will discuss his own experiences being threatened by the FBI\, what he has uncovered about the corporate campaign to criminalize dissent\, and how these same tactics are now being used against Black Lives Matter and the protests against Donald Trump.\n\nWill Potter is an award-winning author and internationally-recognized civil liberties advocate. He is best known for his work challenging government repression and the labeling of protest as \"terrorism.\" Pulitzer Prize winner Glenn Greenwald described him as \"the most knowledgeable journalist in the country on these issues.\" After being awarded the prestigious Knight Wallace Fellowship in Law Reporting\, Will was appointed the Marsh Professor of Journalism at the University of Michigan\, where he teaches courses on investigative journalism\, social movements\, and whistleblowing. \n\nPBS said \"Will Potter goes where no other investigative journalist has gone\,\" and that applies to both his research and his advocacy of civil liberties. He was the first journalist to be selected as a TED Senior Fellow\, and his TED talks have now been viewed nearly 4 million times. He has lectured at more than 200 universities and forums around the world\, including Harvard Law School\, Yale University\, and the House of Democracy and Human Rights in Berlin.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Research on the ISIS frontline and with al-Qaeda Affiliates
DESCRIPTION:Uncompromising wars\, revolution\, rights movements\, and today’s global terrorism are in part driven by Devoted Actors who adhere to sacred or transcendent values that generate actions independently\, or all out of proportion\, from rationally expected outcomes\, calculated costs and consequences\, or likely risks and rewards. Field-based observation\, surveys and experimental studies in real-world political conflicts show ways in which Devoted Actors\, who are unconditionally committed to sacred causes\, and whose personal identities are fused within a unique collective identity\, willingly make costly sacrifices including fighting and dying\, thus enabling low-power groups to endure and often prevail against materially much stronger foes. Explaining how devoted actors come to sacrifice for cause and comrade not only is a scientific goal\, but also a practical imperative to prevent and resolve seemingly intractable intergroup disputes that can spiral out of control in a rapidly interconnecting world of collapsing and conflicting cultural traditions in search of salvation. Fieldwork and experiments in Europe\, North Africa and on the frontlines in the battle with the Islamic State in Iraq help to make the case.

DESCRIPTION:Determining whether a given finitely generated group of isometries is discrete is a formidable problem. Let $\Gamma$ be a rank 2 non-elementary subgroup of PSL(2\,R)\; J. Gilman and B. Maskit developed a discreteness algorithm which codified previously existing algorithms for all such $\Gamma$. We intend to motivate the discreteness problem\, give a synopsis of the Gilman-Maskit algorithm\, and share some efforts toward developing discreteness algorithms for higher rank groups.  In particular\, a discreteness algorithm for $\Gamma$ (as above) except generated by 3 parabolic isometries will be presented. Speaker(s): Caleb Ashley (UM)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Andrew Logan: The Artistic Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Logan’s work spans the fields of sculpture\, theater\, pageants\, jewelry\, and interior design. As a scene-maker Logan is the mastermind behind London’s long-running Alternative Miss World pageant. A celebration of transformation\, creative free-reign\, and the ordinary turned extraordinary\, the pageant features a counter-cultural parade of freaks\, fops\, show offs\, and drag queens. From his early fame amongst London’s fashionable and artistic crowd\, who have variously dubbed him ‘Faberge for the millennium’\, ‘The Wizard of Odd’\, and ‘mirror of our times’\, he has become an influential artist of international stature. The Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture in Wales is the only European museum dedicated to a living artist. Brian Eno said: “His work takes the risk of being completely clear in its intentions\, doesn’t obscure itself in artspeak\, and is unashamedly beautiful. […] He is also a ‘scene-maker’ — one of those rare people with the ability to bring out in others their sense of creativity and curiosity.”\n\nSupported by the University of Michigan Institute for Humanities and Chelsea River Gallery.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Remnants\"
DESCRIPTION:\"Remnants\" is an award-winning\, minimalist piece that includes the voices of 3 men and 4 women\, currently presented as a one-man performance by the author. The play reflects more than 40 years of conversation between the playwright and a small group of Holocaust survivors. \"Remnants\" is thus not testimony\, but rather recreates memory as it erupts within sustained and deepening acquaintance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Detroiters Speak: The Crisis in Public Education in Detroit Since the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:This panel will be moderated by Peter Hammer (WSU Detroit Equity Action Lab & Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights). \n\nSpeaker Bios:\n\nHELEN MOORE\n\nHelen Moore has been a life-long advocate and warrior for the children of Detroit\, beginning with her days as a State of Michigan Social Worker and continuing with Black Parents for Quality Education and The Keep the Vote No Takeover Coalition. She is also a member of Detroit’s Council of Elders. Ms. Moore educates her community on school district policy\, student rights\, and other education-related legal issues and parental involvement efforts. She earned a bachelor's degree from Wayne State University and a juris doctorate from the Detroit College of Law. \n\nBERNA RAVITZ\n\nMy passion for education began bubbling within me long before I could articulate it. As a youngster I was decidedly unchallenged by school. Ironically that led me to acquire a Bachelor’s in Psychology\, a Master’s in Education\, certification in Bilingual Education\, and finally\, a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. All of this was in pursuit of the magic formula for 'evening the playing field' for all of my students. I began utilizing gifted and talented strategies (constructivist education) and saw amazing results in the progress of our students. My Experience as Michigan Teacher of the Year\, National Distinguished Principal as well as an Educational Fulbright exchange allowed me such incredible experiences that are invaluable in my work even today. Upon retirement from my being a principal\, I worked for several years as an Educational Coach in Detroit Public Schools\; I currently dedicate my time towards fulfilling the mission of Simply Start Kids.\n\nRUSS BELLANT\n\nRuss Bellant is a retired City of Detroit employee\, President of the Helco Block Club\, President of the Detroit Library Commission\, member of the Detroit Public Schools Task Force and also a founding steering committee member of RESTORE northeast Detroit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:From Swing to Hip-Hop: A Photographic History of Music Performance at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Music has always been an integral part of life in Ann Arbor and at the university.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Another Country
DESCRIPTION:The scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GOIN’ NORTH: BLACK DETROIT  AND THE  GREAT MIGRATION\,  1910-1930
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nExhibit of photographs and documents produced by the Michigan Historical Collections in Commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day at the University of Michigan\, published 1991.\nBLACK DETROIT AND THE GREAT MIGRATION\n\nSince Norf is up\,\nAn’ Souf is down\,\nAn’ Hebben is up\,\nI’m upward boun’.*\nThey came to Detroit by the thousands from Georgia\, Alabama\, Tennessee\, South Caroline and they stayed. They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CSAAW TALK: Memory Anomalies and How to Measure Them
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:   Almost every general model of constructive memory has a lot to say about how generalizations are abstracted\, information is synthesized and patterns are discovered. In other words\, these accounts are about combining\, compressing and drawing connections. However\, many memory operations are better thought of as dividing and isolating. The paradigmatic example is a memory anomaly. For instance\, you might remember a strange interaction with a friend where their behaviour seemed out of character\, only to later discover that they had witnessed a traumatic event on that day. What is the purpose of keeping these odd memories around and how do we select for them? How does this process relate to the more familiar one of systematizing and combining? This paper compares information-theoretic and informal measures of what makes an event anomalous and proposes a preliminary theory of the kinds of weird events that should stick in our memory.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Arthur Brakel will present a talk entitled\, \"Phonological Markedness and Levels of Analysis\"\nAbstract\nMy project\, Portuguese Morphophonology: A Markedness Approach\, attempts to provide a complete grammar of that language’s inflectional and derivational morphophonology\, as well as that of nominal compounding. The analyses it provides are based on A) constraints on representation advocated by ‘natural’ phonologists\, B) a theory of morpheme boundary affinities\, C)  notions of markedness (rarity\, restriction\, complexity\, and opposition) I advanced in Phonological Markedness and Distinctive Features (Indiana\, 1983).\n\nIdentifying Portuguese’s 26 phonemes requires 12 distinctive features. In representative Portuguese texts each of the 12 distinctive features (phonological marks) should be present in fewer phoneme tokens than in the tokens lacking that distinctive feature (e.g. there should be fewer [+nasal] tokens than [-nasal] tokens.) And that is the case for all features\, save one: [+contoid]\, whose presence among the 18\,455 tokens in the study’s morphophonemic segmental dataset outnumbers the phoneme tokens lacking that feature. However\, in ‘systematic phonetic’ representations [+contoid] occurs in fewer tokens than [-contoid]. The issues this result brings up are: A) At what level of analysis are these markedness criteria valid evaluators of linguistic data? B) What would be the results of a feature count in Portuguese texts with extreme vowel reduction? C) Are my results a peculiarity of Portuguese? D) Are they an artifact of my analysis? E) Are they valid for Portuguese? F) In other languages’ texts do contoids’ and vocoids’ tokens occur in similar proportions?

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Sexual Harassment and Gender Discrimination on Campus
DESCRIPTION:A representative from the University of Michigan Office of Institutional Equity (OIE) will be here to provide an overview of information related to to sexual harassment and gender discrimination on campus. \n\nElizabeth Seney\, a deputy Title IX coordinator at OIE will answer the following questions: What is sexual harassment and gender discrimination? How do you report it? What community resources exist for individuals who are experiencing it? What happens when behavior is reported? The presentation will provide a broad overview of information for anyone who's been wondering how to make sense of these concepts and their associated procedures and related resources. It will also cover details about confidential reporting vs so-called \"mandatory reporting\" required of responsible employees.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The DAAS African American Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Numerous accounts have identified the racialized nature of mass incarceration and its impact on minority communities\, poverty\, crime\, inequality and even\, daily life.  Yet\, we know little about how mass imprisonment and its racially disproportionate features affect criminal justice apparatuses themselves.  Through ethnography of the criminal courts in Chicago-Cook County\, this research examines how the racial divides and segregation that define mass incarceration manifest within our criminal courts and transform them from central sites of “due process” to central sites of “racialized punishment.”   In these sites\, the mostly black and Latino defendants confront a workgroup of white professionals who are charged with classifying and deliberating on the criminality of a racialized offender pool.  Despite a host of due process protections and professionals who espouse colorblind ideologies\, the court process relies on a legal habitus entangled with racial ideologies and practices.  Court professionals use racialized tropes and narratives regarding the immoral character of criminal defendants to efficiently sort and process the backlog of cases caused by mass incarceration.  By mobilizing a moral rubric to encode racial difference\, professionals maintain court processes as “race-neutral.”  In their view\, disdain for defendants is not based on the color of their skin but the moral violations they embody – allowing racist narratives to become integrated into one’s criminal defense with impunity.  Ultimately\, this account reveals the courts as “the cultural engine” and crucial gateway for the racialization of criminal justice - where racism and discretion collide with dire effects to both the experience and appearance of justice. \n\nBio: \nNicole Gonzalez Van Cleve is an Assistant Professor at Temple University in the Department of Criminal Justice with courtesy appointments in the Department of Sociology and the Beasley School of Law.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:We propose a phase retrieval approach that uses correlation-based measurements with compactly supported measurement masks.  The algorithm admits deterministic measurement constructions together with a robust\, fast recovery algorithm that consists of solving a system of linear equations in a lifted space\, followed by finding an eigenvector (e.g.\, via an inverse power iteration).  Theoretical reconstruction error guarantees are presented.  Numerical experiments demonstrate  robustness  and  computational  efficiency  that  outperforms  competing  approaches  on  large problems.  Finally\,  we show that this approach also trivially extends to phase retrieval problems based on windowed Fourier measurements. Speaker(s): Mark Iwen (Michigan State University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | Hawking Radiation in a Condensate of Rubidium Atoms
DESCRIPTION:A sonic analogy for Hawking radiation was introduced nearly 40 years ago\, motivated in part by the “trans-Planckian puzzle”. This has shed light on the puzzle (which\, however\, remains enigmatic)\, and it suggested that analog Hawking radiation could one day be observed in a laboratory. That day has come. In two recent papers\, observations of Hawking radiation in rubidium condensates have been reported. The first attributed the observed features to the \"black hole laser\" effect\, while the second reported measurements of the quantum entanglement of Hawking phonons with their partners. I'll explain this circle of ideas\, describe the experiments\, and report on theoretical analyses showing that\, in fact\, the laser effect was most likely not behind the observations\, and that more work is needed to determine whether the measurements actually demonstrated entanglement.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What is good about justice?
DESCRIPTION:Why is it a good thing if people and institutions are just? Several answers may be given\, but the only one appearing plausible understands justice as law-abidingness under a higher law\, natural law\, as it was called in the tradition\, the fulfilment of which is supposed to be a good thing. Actually we do not have evidence of there being such a higher law. So we do not have an answer to the question what makes it recommendable to be just. What people and institutions do should be judged\, then\, with a view\, not to whether it is just\, but to whether it is beneficial. True\, that will be controversial\, but so in fact is talk of things being just.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:In 1997\, Terry Tao and I invented \"puzzles\" to study Horn's problem\, slightly after Klyachko had used Schubert calculus on Grassmannians for the same purpose. It turns out that these puzzles\, with their three edge labels\, connect more directly to Schubert calculus. Last year\, Pechenik-Yong and Wheeler--Zinn-Justin used them to compute equivariant K-theory of Grassmannians (using some new pieces). But what about d-step flag manifolds? In 2014\, (equivariant) cohomology of 2-step flag manifolds was puzzlified\, proving a conjecture of mine from 1999.\n\nTo force the three sides of a puzzle to relate to the same flag manifold\, we assign a vector to each edge label\, which leads to vector configurations of 3 vectors (for d=1)\, 8 for d=2\, and 27 for d=3\; the configurations correspond to the weights of the minuscule representations of A_2\, D_4\, and E_6. From the Jimbo R-matrices of these representations\, we derive some new puzzle rules. Speaker(s): Allen Knutson (Cornell)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: Learning and Price Discovery in a Search Model
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe study a dynamic\, decentralized exchange economy with aggregate uncertainty about the relative scarcity of a commodity. We characterize price discovery and show how traders gradually learn about the state of the market through equilibrium actions. Such learning leads to equilibrium outcomes that are approximately competitive when the frictions are small. We derive equilibrium price and trading patterns related to learning\, experimentation\, and regret.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RC Talks: \"Early Female Gamelan Buskers: Social Persona and Musical Style\"
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, professional female entertainers\, taledhek\, have been Java’s premier buskers\, singing and dancing in the streets\, in erotic dance parties and fertility rites accompanied by the gamelan. By  presenting short life histories of a few of these women\, Dr. Walton shows how their musical style and persona eschew middle class Javanese gender norms. Drawing on recordings from the 1920s and 1930s\, ethnographic fieldwork with aging male gamelan musicians and taledhek\, and information from literary sources\, Dr. Walton will  analyze the musical characteristics of the early taledhek’s style and how those musical elements shifted when some taledhek started to perform in the courts in the early 20th century.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Observing the Generation\, Propagation and Dissipation of Internal Waves in the Ocean
DESCRIPTION:Recent work has shown that turbulence in the ocean due to breaking internal gravity is one of the largest uncertainties in climate models.  Knowledge of the horizontal and vertical distribution of the turbulence is crucial\, which is challenging because internal waves can travel far from their sources and can break via a variety of mechanisms.  In this talk I will first introduce internal waves for non-specialists\, then walk through an example in the South China Sea where waves can be tracked from their source to their breaking locations\, and a rough energy budget determined.  Then I’ll discuss recent progress in tracking internal wave energy from generation to cross-basin propagation to dissipation on the globe\, focusing on recent efforts to constrain 1) q\, the fraction of locally dissipated energy and 2) the reflection coefficient which determines the partition of energy breaking over continental margins versus in the deep basins.  A key thread of these analyses is the constant interplay between observations and high-resolution models.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Angel Gallego Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Angel Gallego (UAB) will present a talk entitled\, \"Strict and flexible cyclicity in phase theory.\"\n\nAbstract\nThis talk has two goals. On the one hand\, it discusses recent phase-theoretic conceptions of “strict cyclicity\,” which typically involve the application of an operation (Spell-Out\, Transfer\, etc.)\; in particular\, I discuss the possibility that Transfer does not remove the syntactic objects created in the course of a derivation (which I relate to the similar role played by the Phase Impenetrability and the No Tampering Conditions). On the other hand\, I review the empirical evidence suggesting that NPs and PPs do not align with CPs and vPs when it comes to certain strict-cyclicity defining properties\; although the facts do not argue that NPs and PPs are locality-free domains\, they do suggest that the notion “phase” (sensu Chomsky 2000 et seq.) does not quite apply to them.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar: Professor Adam W. Smith\, University of Akron
DESCRIPTION:The plasma membrane is the boundary between a cell and its surroundings. At the membrane\, cells present an array of protein receptors that process environmental cues. The spatial and temporal arrangement of these receptors is critical to function\, but the forces driving this organization are not well understood. Membrane protein dimerization\, for example\, is a key regulator of many receptor pathways\, but its role in others is still controversial or completely unknown. Assembly of receptor complexes upon ligand stimulation is central to many signaling pathways\, but the kinetics and thermodynamics of the assembly process are still poorly understood. Lipids in the membrane have been hypothesized to play many structural and regulatory roles in receptor activation\, but the details of the lipid-protein interface are still largely unexplored because of experimental difficulties. I will describe two ongoing projects in my group. In the first project we investigate membrane protein interactions in live cells using PIE-FCCS and related methods. These efforts have led to several key insights into the organization and activation mechanism of receptors like plexins\, growth factor receptors\, and visual photoreceptors. The second project is to resolve the details of lipid-protein coupling in model membranes to build a more complete picture of the chemical landscape that governs cell communication.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | The Political Theology of Vernacularization in Premodern India
DESCRIPTION:In Maharashtra in the 13th century\, a new regional literature in Marathi joined together religious expression and social critique of caste and gender inequities as endemic to everyday life.  This lecture will argue that the focus on everyday life and its social vicissitudes marks the very quality of vernacularization at all times\, even today in the “vernacularization of democracy.”  Vernacularization compels an engagement with quotidian social order discussed in the language and publics of everyday life.\n\nThe materials to be examined in this talk involve three sources: 1) Marathi inscriptions from the 12th to early 14th centuries\; 2) the Lilacharitra (1278)\, the first extant work of Marathi literature\; and 3) the Jnaneshwari (1290)\, often considered the first self-consciously literary work of Marathi.  Through these sources we will see the idea emerge that everyone\, regardless of caste\, class\, or gender\, is entitled to hear the words of spiritual salvation even if social equality remains an elusive possibility of the future.  \n\nChristian Novetzke is a Professor in the South Asia Program\, the Comparative Religion Program\, and the International Studies Program at the University of Washington’s Jackson School of International Studies\, where he holds a College of Arts and Sciences Endowed Professorship. He also serves as the Associate Director of the Jackson School and the Director of the Center for Global Studies. His books include: Religion and Public Memory (Columbia University Press\, 2008)\;  Amar Akbar Anthony: Bollywood\, Brotherhood\, and the Nation (with Andy Rotman and William Elison\, Harvard University Press\, 2016)\; and The Quotidian Revolution: Vernacularization\, Religion\, and the Premodern Public Sphere in India (Columbia University Press\, 2016).\n\nCosponsored by the Department of History.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dressing the Head: Romantic Styling in Ingres’s Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores Ingres’s portraits from the 1820s and his sympathetic response to new features of appearance\, as the bourgeoisie created its own way of styling the body and the head so as to display its ethics and aesthetics.   The role of the hairdresser as a rival artist is also examined\, along with the cultural symbolism and political connotations of the dressed head.    \n\nSusan L. Siegfried received her PhD from Harvard University and has taught at the University of Leeds in Great Britain\, where she directed the MA in the Social History of Art\, and at Northwestern University in the United States. Her major research has been on European art of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries\, especially the French art world of the Revolutionary and Romantic periods. Her research interests include the thematisation of gender\, social spaces for viewing art\, and theoretical models of interpretation. She is currently preparing a book on Ingres\, as a central figure in the emergence of new imaginative paradigms informing artistic practice and responses to art in the early nineteenth century. She has organized and contributed to major exhibitions in her field (The Age of Watteau\, Chardin and Fragonard: Masterpieces of French Genre Painting\, National Gallery of Canada\, National Museum of Art\, and Gemaldegalerie\, 2003-4\; The Art of Louis-Léopold Boilly\, Kimbell Art Museum and National Gallery of Art\, 1995-6\; and Works by J.-A.-D. Ingres in the Collection of the Fogg Art Museum\, 1980). In previous work for the J.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Saturday Morning Physics | Making Muons Great Again - The Fermilab Muon Program
DESCRIPTION:New physics could lie beyond the reach of the most powerful accelerators but still manifest itself as anomalies in the well-predicted behavior of particles. The magic of quantum loops provides a window into energy scales thousands of times larger than that which can be achieved directly by current accelerators. This talk aims to introduce the audience to an exciting new program at Fermilab that uses muons to probe for new phenomena with unprecedented sensitivity and could give insight into new physics Beyond the Standard Model.

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an all day communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. We'll provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian\, reference materials\, and refreshments. Bring your laptop\, power cord\, and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse\, we urge you to stop by to show your support. Please RSVP:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/artfeminism-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-ann-arbor-tickets-31937728606\n\nFree! Everyone welcome! No previous experience required!\n\nWikimedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey\, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate\, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an important repository of shared knowledge. Let’s change that.\n\nPlease create a Wikipedia account before you arrive:\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=Main+Page\n\nWant to get a head start with training? We're offering two workshops to prepare you:\nhttp://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/?s=editing+and+contributing+to+wikipedia&submit=Search\n\nHashtags for the event:  #artandfeminism  #noweditingaf\n\nPlease note the Art + Feminism Safe Space Policy for this event:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtandFeminism/Safespacepolicy\n\nOffered by U-M Library in partnership with the U-M Museum of Art and the Ann Arbor District Library.
