He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

'16)\, \"THE IMAGE OF HAVANA\" DESCRIPTION:2016 Booth Fellowship recipient Megan Peters (M.Arch. '16) explores through images the dichotomy between Havana\, Cuba's dual identities.\n\nCity #1: The Aesthetic Image\nClassic cars\, crumbling architecture\, fat cigars\, dark rum\, and despotic leaders. These are the images that Havana evokes to an outsider. Analyzing the effects of the external gaze\, aesthetics\, distance\, and the role of photography\, these images reveal a city that has become more real in its fantastical image than in its reality.\n\nCity #2: The Embodied Image\nThe images found within Havana tell complex stories of patriotism\, propaganda\, self-expression\, and cultural identity. They are powerful in ways that either command their audience into deference or empower the questioning of the status quo. Try as a government might to muffle and censor free speech\, Cuban-authored images persist and find a way to prevail using calculated and clever means\; revealing a city that is actively pursuing an identity of its own creation.\n\nPeters will present on her research funded by the Booth Fellowship on December 6 at noon in the Art & Architecture Auditorium. An exhibition opening reception will immediately follow in the college gallery. \n\nExhibition on View December 6 - January 5 in the college gallery.\n\nFor more information on Peters’ proposal\, previous winners and eligibility for application\, please visit the George G.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools. In Columbus\, Cloud/Bank was located near Central Middle School\, designed by Perkins + Will\, and Lincoln Signature Academy\, designed by Gunnar Birkerts & Associates. Following the exhibition in Columbus\, Cloud/Bank will be on view in the Liberty Research Annex Gallery through February 11\, 2018.

He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

'16)\, \"THE IMAGE OF HAVANA\" DESCRIPTION:2016 Booth Fellowship recipient Megan Peters (M.Arch. '16) explores through images the dichotomy between Havana\, Cuba's dual identities.\n\nCity #1: The Aesthetic Image\nClassic cars\, crumbling architecture\, fat cigars\, dark rum\, and despotic leaders. These are the images that Havana evokes to an outsider. Analyzing the effects of the external gaze\, aesthetics\, distance\, and the role of photography\, these images reveal a city that has become more real in its fantastical image than in its reality.\n\nCity #2: The Embodied Image\nThe images found within Havana tell complex stories of patriotism\, propaganda\, self-expression\, and cultural identity. They are powerful in ways that either command their audience into deference or empower the questioning of the status quo. Try as a government might to muffle and censor free speech\, Cuban-authored images persist and find a way to prevail using calculated and clever means\; revealing a city that is actively pursuing an identity of its own creation.\n\nPeters will present on her research funded by the Booth Fellowship on December 6 at noon in the Art & Architecture Auditorium. An exhibition opening reception will immediately follow in the college gallery. \n\nExhibition on View December 6 - January 5 in the college gallery.\n\nFor more information on Peters’ proposal\, previous winners and eligibility for application\, please visit the George G.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Initially a mechanical engineer\, he learned in medical school about the newly-developed cochlear implant\, an electronic device placed in the inner ear to enhance the hearing of the severely hearing-impaired. He knew 
immediately that he wanted to work on combining engineering and medicine to restore people’s hearing. .He is now a neurotologist\n\nDr. Art's research has focused on cochlear implants and other applications of engineering for the treatment of ear diseases. The cochlear implant is an engineering marvel that has changed the lives of nearly 500\,000 deaf and hard-of-hearing adults and children worldwide. The device and patient outcomes have steadily improved over the last 30 years. There have been some dramatic advances in technology that can profoundly affect the world of hearing impairment.\n\nThis is the eighth in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2017-18.

'16)\, \"THE IMAGE OF HAVANA\" DESCRIPTION:2016 Booth Fellowship recipient Megan Peters (M.Arch. '16) explores through images the dichotomy between Havana\, Cuba's dual identities.\n\nCity #1: The Aesthetic Image\nClassic cars\, crumbling architecture\, fat cigars\, dark rum\, and despotic leaders. These are the images that Havana evokes to an outsider. Analyzing the effects of the external gaze\, aesthetics\, distance\, and the role of photography\, these images reveal a city that has become more real in its fantastical image than in its reality.\n\nCity #2: The Embodied Image\nThe images found within Havana tell complex stories of patriotism\, propaganda\, self-expression\, and cultural identity.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

'16)\, \"THE IMAGE OF HAVANA\" DESCRIPTION:2016 Booth Fellowship recipient Megan Peters (M.Arch. '16) explores through images the dichotomy between Havana\, Cuba's dual identities.\n\nCity #1: The Aesthetic Image\nClassic cars\, crumbling architecture\, fat cigars\, dark rum\, and despotic leaders. These are the images that Havana evokes to an outsider. Analyzing the effects of the external gaze\, aesthetics\, distance\, and the role of photography\, these images reveal a city that has become more real in its fantastical image than in its reality.\n\nCity #2: The Embodied Image\nThe images found within Havana tell complex stories of patriotism\, propaganda\, self-expression\, and cultural identity. They are powerful in ways that either command their audience into deference or empower the questioning of the status quo. Try as a government might to muffle and censor free speech\, Cuban-authored images persist and find a way to prevail using calculated and clever means\; revealing a city that is actively pursuing an identity of its own creation.\n\nPeters will present on her research funded by the Booth Fellowship on December 6 at noon in the Art & Architecture Auditorium. An exhibition opening reception will immediately follow in the college gallery. \n\nExhibition on View December 6 - January 5 in the college gallery.\n\nFor more information on Peters’ proposal\, previous winners and eligibility for application\, please visit the George G.

The experiments mimic the flow in a high-speed air-breathing engine\, where the shock train is responsible for slowing and compressing the flow prior to the combustor. Quantifying and understanding the properties and processes of the shock train is critical to the development of more predictive modeling tools for high-speed engine design.\n\nIn the first part of this work\, schlieren imaging is used to study the shock train structural transition from oblique to normal as the pressure downstream of the isolator is increased. Time-averaged pressure measurements are used to quantify how this process impacts important isolator design properties\, including the length and pressure of the shock system. These results indicate a highly three-dimensional structure which is confirmed using stereo PIV measurements. \n\nThe second and primary contribution of this work is the development of a model that explains why the shock train is inherently unsteady even with approximately constant isolator boundary conditions. Cross-spectral analysis of pressure and shock position fluctuations are used to identify a system of perturbations that interact with the shock system. Oil flow visualization and PIV are then used to uncover the physical structure of the perturbations and the fluid phenomenon that generates them. The unsteadiness model introduces a possible mechanism that explains how downstream disturbances impact the shock motion. To examine this further\, low frequency downstream forcing is applied to the system and the resulting shock train response is investigated using a combination of schlieren and pressure measurements. It is found that the response of the shock system depends on the rise time and magnitude of the downstream disturbance. \n\n\nDissertation Committee:\n\nChair: Asst.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

These reflexes are often coordinated with inputs from the visual and proprioceptive systems. More recently\, research has shown that other\, non-traditional\, stimuli also effect the vestibular system\, though the scope of this research has been limited. This thesis explores the effect of both traditional and non-traditional inputs on the vestibular system by characterizing their influence compensatory eye\, head\, and body movements.\n\nWe begin by looking at the influence of the vestibular periphery and efference copy of motor commands on compensatory eye movements (Chapter 2). While each of these has been described individually (as the vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) and pre-programmed eye movements (PPEM) respectively)\, there has been controversy in the field as to how these two inputs interact with each other. We propose a model of gaze stability in which VOR and PPEM work cooperatively\, and we test model predictions against data we collected as well as from previous findings. We found that our model accurately predicted eye movements during a variety of behavioral contexts. In Chapter 3\, we describe the effect of single high-intensity noise exposure on the vestibular system by evaluating eye and head stability. We found that after noise exposure ocular stability showed marginal loss\, while head stability showed greater deficits. However\, the exact nature of this deficit was not as expected and the influence of cervical pathways after vestibular lesion is discussed. Finally\, in Chapter 4\, we examine the effect of galvanic vestibular stimulation and optokinetic stimulation on standing posture. We propose a model of postural stability inspired by the velocity storage model of ocular stability and test model predictions against body movements elicited from standing subjects. We found that\, while simple\, our model could correctly predict the nature of subjects’ responses to both stimuli\, suggesting that the body interprets and uses sensory information for postural stability in a manner similar to that for ocular stability.\n\nTaken together these findings demonstrate that the influence of non-traditional inputs and pathways to vestibular system is substantial and should be considered both in laboratory and clinical settings. We also show that the vestibular system allows researchers and clinicians to leverage methods and findings from across disciplines and species. Models traditionally used to describe gaze stability in primates can be used to predict eye movements in rodents as well as postural responses in humans and paradigms used in hearing research can be used to interpret noise-induced vestibular loss. Thus\, the multifaceted nature of the vestibular system both requires\, and allows for\, multifaceted exploration.\n\nDate: Tuesday\, January 16\, 2018\nTime: 1:30 PM\nLocation: 2813/17 Med Sci II\nChair: Dr. William King UID:48083-11178040@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48083 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Engineering,Graduate School,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research,Science LOCATION:Medical Science Unit II - 2813/17 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180104T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180104T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

'16)\, \"THE IMAGE OF HAVANA\" DESCRIPTION:2016 Booth Fellowship recipient Megan Peters (M.Arch. '16) explores through images the dichotomy between Havana\, Cuba's dual identities.\n\nCity #1: The Aesthetic Image\nClassic cars\, crumbling architecture\, fat cigars\, dark rum\, and despotic leaders. These are the images that Havana evokes to an outsider. Analyzing the effects of the external gaze\, aesthetics\, distance\, and the role of photography\, these images reveal a city that has become more real in its fantastical image than in its reality.\n\nCity #2: The Embodied Image\nThe images found within Havana tell complex stories of patriotism\, propaganda\, self-expression\, and cultural identity. They are powerful in ways that either command their audience into deference or empower the questioning of the status quo. Try as a government might to muffle and censor free speech\, Cuban-authored images persist and find a way to prevail using calculated and clever means\; revealing a city that is actively pursuing an identity of its own creation.\n\nPeters will present on her research funded by the Booth Fellowship on December 6 at noon in the Art & Architecture Auditorium. An exhibition opening reception will immediately follow in the college gallery. \n\nExhibition on View December 6 - January 5 in the college gallery.\n\nFor more information on Peters’ proposal\, previous winners and eligibility for application\, please visit the George G.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Motivated by emergent cell lineage tracking experiments to study blood cell production\, we present recent methodology newly enabling likelihood-based inference for partially observed data arising from continuous-time stochastic processes with countable state spaces. These computational advances allow principled inferential procedures such as maximum likelihood estimation\, posterior inference\, and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. We then discuss limitations and alternatives when data are very large or generated from a hidden process\, and address some of the remaining challenges using optimization. We highlight majorization-minimization (MM) methods that generalize EM\, showcasing their merits and breadth on related problems including likelihood-based approaches for sparse and low-rank estimation.

To compute operability limits\, efficient aerodynamic heating and thermal protection system models were added to the reduced order model MASIV. Results show the effects of varying the thickness of the three-layer thermal protection system that consists of a radiation shield\, an insulation layer and the vehicle wall. The heat exchanger heat flux is modeled assuming the hydrogen fuel is a supercritical fluid and lookup tables for the fuel properties at supercritical conditions are incorporated. By extending the active cooling system to a small region of the inlet\, the operability limits are increased from a flight Mach number of 7.3 to 8.6. Optimizations for the active and passive thermal protection systems are performed. For the passive TPS\, the minimum required insulation thickness is computed. For the active TPS\, the parameters impacting the final fuel temperature are optimized to find the minimum fuel temperature at the end of a 40-minute cruise.

The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools. In Columbus\, Cloud/Bank was located near Central Middle School\, designed by Perkins + Will\, and Lincoln Signature Academy\, designed by Gunnar Birkerts & Associates. Following the exhibition in Columbus\, Cloud/Bank will be on view in the Liberty Research Annex Gallery through February 11\, 2018.

The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools. In Columbus\, Cloud/Bank was located near Central Middle School\, designed by Perkins + Will\, and Lincoln Signature Academy\, designed by Gunnar Birkerts & Associates. Following the exhibition in Columbus\, Cloud/Bank will be on view in the Liberty Research Annex Gallery through February 11\, 2018.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools. In Columbus\, Cloud/Bank was located near Central Middle School\, designed by Perkins + Will\, and Lincoln Signature Academy\, designed by Gunnar Birkerts & Associates. Following the exhibition in Columbus\, Cloud/Bank will be on view in the Liberty Research Annex Gallery through February 11\, 2018.
