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.

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.

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.

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. Accompanying the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Join UMMA docents as they explore this artistic dialogue\, seeing one artist through the eyes of another.\n \nMatisse 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.

Each year\, thousands of new data scientists are entering science and technology\, after a broad training in a variety of fields. Modern data science is often exploratory in nature\, with datasets being collected and dissected in an interactive manner. Classical guarantees that accompany many statistical methods are often invalidated by their non-standard interactive use\, resulting in an underestimated risk of falsely discovering correlations or patterns. It is a pressing challenge to upgrade existing tools\, or create new ones\, that are robust to involving a human-in-the-loop.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe two new advances that enable some amount of interactivity while testing multiple hypotheses\, and control the resulting selection bias. I will first introduce a new framework\, STAR\, that uses partial masking to divide the available information into two parts\, one for selecting a set of potential discoveries\, and the other for inference on the selected set. I will then show that it is possible to flip the traditional roles of the algorithm and the scientist\, allowing the scientist to make post-hoc decisions after seeing the realization of an algorithm on the data. The theoretical basis for both advances is founded in the theory of martingales : in the first\, the user defines the martingale and associated filtration interactively\, and in the second\, we move from optional stopping to optional spotting by proving uniform concentration bounds on relevant martingales.\n\nThis talk will feature joint work with (alphabetically) Rina Barber\, Jianbo Chen\, Will Fithian\, Kevin Jamieson\, Michael Jordan\, Eugene Katsevich\, Lihua Lei\, Max Rabinovich\, Martin Wainwright\, Fanny Yang and Tijana Zrnic.\n\nBio : Aaditya Ramdas is a postdoctoral researcher in Statistics and EECS at UC Berkeley\, advised by Michael Jordan and Martin Wainwright. He finished his PhD in Statistics and Machine Learning at CMU\, advised by Larry Wasserman and Aarti Singh\, winning the Best Thesis Award in Statistics. A lot of his research focuses on modern aspects of reproducibility in science and technology —\ninvolving statistical testing and false discovery rate control in static and dynamic settings.

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.

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 last year of King's life marked a distinctive period in his career as he allied himself with a broad array of initiatives linking civil rights with antiwar\, labor\, and antipoverty campaigns. This panel will consider the legacy of that year\, stretching from the social justice movements of the late 1960s to causes today such as Black Lives Matter\, immigrant rights\, and attempts to reverse the growing gap of socioeconomic inequality.\n\nFeaturing:\nRuth Feldstein\, Rutgers University-Newark\nMonica Muñoz Martinez\, Brown University\nBrenda Tindal\, Detroit Historical Society\n\nRuth Feldstein is professor of history and American studies at Rutgers University-Newark. She is the author of several books and articles\, most recently the award-winning book\, How It Feels To Be Free: Black Women Entertainers and the Civil Rights Movement\; she is also associate producer of How It Feels to Be Free\, a forthcoming documentary based on this book. Feldstein's scholarship explores relationships between race and gender relations\, and between performance and politics\; she works to tell the stories of women whose voices have not been heard\, and who are seldom taken seriously as thinkers and activists.\n\nMonica Muñoz Martinez\, Carnegie Fellow 2017-2019\, received her PhD in American studies from Yale University. At Brown University she offers courses in Latinx studies\, immigration\, histories of violence\, histories of policing\, and public memory in US History.

Her first manuscript\, The Injustice Never Leaves You: Anti-Mexican Violence in the Texas Borderlands\, is under contract with Harvard University Press. She is a faculty fellow at the John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America. Martinez is the primary investigator for Mapping Violence\, a digital project that documents histories of racial violence in Texas. \n\nPublic historian\, archivist\, curator\, and educator Brenda Tindal joined the Detroit Historical Society as director of education in December 2017.

Board of Education (1954)\, which won the National Award for Museum Service—the nation’s highest honor awarded to museums and libraries. Tindal recently co-curated the museum’s K(NO)W Justice K(NO)W Peace—a rapid-response exhibit that explores the historical roots of the distrust between police and community\, tells the human stories beyond the headlines\, and engages viewers in creating constructive solutions. Before joining the Levine Museum of the New South in 2015 as staff historian\, Tindal was a visiting lecturer in the Department of History and Honors College at the University of North Carolina Charlotte\, where she taught a broad range of courses in comparative U.S. and South African history\, southern history\, African American history\, and visual and material culture.

Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297759@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171207T181528 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180115T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Carillon Composition Workshop DESCRIPTION:What do you want played from U-M’s bell towers?

This movie tells the story of three African-American women mathematicians and engineers (Katherine Johnson\, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan) who would play a pivotal role towards the successful mission of John Glenn’s spacecraft orbit around the Earth and the NASA missions to the moon.\n\nFor this talk\, we give a brief review of the space race going on at the time between the United States of America and the former Soviet Union. We will discuss the lives and contributions that NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson and the NASA engineers Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan made to the space race. In particular\, their work as concerns John Glenn’s orbit around the Earth in 1962 and to the moon missions. Also\, we will talk about the experiences of being a mathematical consultant for this film. (This talk was designed and originally to be presented by Professor Rudy Horne\, who passed away in December 2017. Professor Washington kindly agreed to present in his stead.)

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Lecture- Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America DESCRIPTION:Please join Michigan Law as we commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a lecture by Professor James Forman of Yale Law School. Professor Forman will discuss his new book\, Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America\, which explores how decisions made by black leaders\, often with the best of intentions\, contributed to disproportionately incarcerating black and brown people. \n\nThis lecture is free and open to the public. \n\nJames Forman Jr. is one of the nation’s leading authorities on race\, education\, and the criminal justice system\, and a tireless advocate for young people who others have written off. Professor Forman attended Yale Law School\, and after he graduated\, worked as a law clerk for Judge William Norris of the 9 th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court. After clerking\, he took a job at the Public Defender Service in Washington\, D.C.\, where for six years he represented juveniles and adults in felony and misdemeanor cases. \n\nProfessor Forman loved being a public defender\, but he quickly became frustrated with the lack of education and job training opportunities for his clients. So in 1997\, along with David Domenici\, he started the Maya Angelou Public Charter School\, an alternative school for dropouts and youth who had previously been arrested. The Maya Angelou school has been open for almost twenty years\, and in that time has helped hundreds of vulnerable young people find a second chance\, begin to believe in themselves\, graduate\, get jobs\, and attend college. \n\nAt Yale Law School\, where has taught since 2011\, Professor Forman teaches Constitutional Law and a course called Race\, Class\, and Punishment.

Audre Lorde - the Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 documents an untold chapter of Lorde’s life: her influence on the German political and cultural scene during a decade of profound social change. The film explores the importance of Lorde’s legacy\, as she encouraged Afro-Germans—who\, at that time\, had no name or space for themselves—to make themselves visible within a culture that until then had kept them isolated and silent. \n\nThe film chronicles Lorde’s empowerment of Afro-German women to write and to publish\, as she challenged white women to acknowledge the significance of their white privilege and to deal with difference in constructive ways. Previously unreleased archive material as well as present-day interviews explore the lasting influence of Lorde’s ideas on Germany and the impact of her work and personality. For the first time\, Dagmar Schultz’s personal archival video- and audio-recordings reveal a significant part of the private Audre Lorde as well as her agenda—to rouse Afro-Germans to recognize each other. \n\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, \nplease contact Germanic Languages & Literatures at 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

This work includes theoretical and numerical developments\, as well as experimental validations.\n\nOn the theoretical front\, aero elastic equations of motions are derived to model a VFA as well as sensor measurements. Two state estimation and reconstruction algorithms are explored\, extracting structural deformation from noisy measurements.\n\nNext\, model predictive control (MPC) is applied to maneuver load alleviation of a representative VFA. Numerical studies are performed and MPC demonstrates both control and state constraints are successfully enforced.\n\nOn the experimental front\, two aero elastic testbed vehicles (ATV-6B and RRV-6B) are constructed. On ATV-6B\, an extensive set of sensors measuring structural\, flight dynamic\, and aerodynamic information is integrated on-board. A new stereo-vision measurement system mounted on the body center tracks high brightness LEDs markers embedded on the wing surface.\n\nFinally\, flight tests are conducted using the RRV-6B to collect aero elastic data. \nSystem identification was applied to the experimental data to obtain VFA characteristics. Finally\, using this identified plant\, a yaw stabilization autopilot was designed and flight tested\, demonstrating significant improvements in handling qualities.\n\nPublications\n\nPang\, Z.

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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Thermodynamics is a remarkably successful theoretical framework\, with wide ranging applications across the natural sciences. Unfortunately\, thermodynamics is limited to equilibrium or near-equilibrium situations\, whereas most of the natural world\, especially life\, operates very far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Without a robust nonequilibrium thermodynamics\, we cannot address a whole host of pressing research questions regarding the energetic requirements to operate outside of equilibrium\, like the energetic cost to form a pattern\, replicate an organism\, or sense an environment\, to name a few. Cutting-edge research in nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics is beginning to shed light on these questions. In this talk\, I will present two such recent predictions. The first is a novel linear-response-like bound that quantifies how dissipation shapes fluctuations far from equilibrium. Besides its intrinsic allure as a universal relation\, I will discuss how it can be used to probe the energetic efficiency of molecular motors\, offer energetic constraints on chemical clocks\, and bound the dissipation in complex materials\, both biological and synthetic\, allowing us to gain insight into the fundamental energetic requirements to operate out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The second is an extended second law of thermodynamics with information that quantifies the precise energetic costs to process information\, which I will apply to the energetic requirements of sensory adaptation in E. coli.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297760@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T170000 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.

Inter/Nationalism: Decolonizing Native America and Palestine DESCRIPTION:“The age of transnational humanities has arrived.” According to Steven Salaita\, the seemingly disparate fields of Palestinian Studies and American Indian studies have more in common than one may think. In Inter/Nationalism\, Salaita argues that American Indian and Indigenous studies must be more central to the scholarship and activism focusing on Palestine.\n\nSalaita offers a fascinating inside account of the Boycott\, Divestment\, and Sanctions (BDS) movement—which\, among other things\, aims to end Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land. In doing so\, he emphasizes BDS’s significant potential as an organizing entity as well as its importance in the creation of intellectual and political communities that put Natives and other colonized peoples such as Palestinians into conversation. His discussion includes readings of a wide range of Native poetry that invokes Palestine as a theme or symbol\; the speeches of U.S. President Andrew Jackson and early Zionist thinker Ze’ev Jabotinsky\; and the discourses of “shared values” between the United States and Israel.\n\nInter/Nationalism seeks to lay conceptual ground between American Indian and Indigenous studies and Palestinian studies through concepts of settler colonialism\, indigeneity\, and state violence. By establishing Palestine as an indigenous nation under colonial occupation\, this book draws crucial connections between the scholarship and activism of Indigenous America and Palestine.\n\nSteven Salaita is a former professor\, now a political writer. He is the author of several books\, including Uncivil Rites: Palestine and the Limits of Academic Freedom and Israel’s Dead Soul.\n\nCosponsors: Arab and Muslim American Studies\, Conflict and Peace Initiative\, Department of American Culture\, Department of Near Eastern Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, International Institute\, Islamic Studies Program.

The development of nano FETs by various nanowires (NWs)\, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are still hindered by surface defects and difficulty in controlled synthesis of semiconducting CNTs\, respectively.\n\nApparently\, beyond the box approaches should be explored to overcome the above mentioned limitations. Here we discuss about creation of transistors and electronic switches without semiconductors. Furthermore\, these devices are based on quantum tunneling\, potentially bypass most if not all the above mentioned limitation. Specifically\, we will discuss about room temperature tunneling FETs by metallic quantum dots functionalized boron nitride nanotubes (QDs-BNNTs) [1]. These QDs-BNNTs can also be designed for use in flexible electronics [2]. Finally\, graphene-BNNTs heterojunctions are also created to convert metallic graphene into digital switches [3]. All these results are made possible after the success in controlled synthesis of high-quality BNNTs by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) [4-6].\n\nThis work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy\, the Office of Basic Energy Sciences (DOE-BES Grants DEFG0206ER46294\, and DESC0012762).

Answering this question has long been fraught with difficulty\, as the association of Judaism with money has been closely intertwined with negative stereotypes of Jews and anti-Semitism. More broadly\, money is often viewed as antithetical to religious values\, which are held up as bulwarks against the pursuit of material gain. In this talk\, we’ll go back to the classical Jewish sources\, including the Mishnah and Talmud (in English translation) – texts from the ancient world that form the foundations of Jewish thought and law to this day. We will examine how the ancient rabbis conceptualized money and wealth\, and learn how archaeological finds from Israel can help us better understand the formulation of rabbinic thought. We will also discuss how the classical rabbis’ view and attitudes have been re-interpreted over time\, and how going back to the original sources can give us innovative ideas and insights into the role of money in Jewish law.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

Pulling Apart or Hanging Together: Separatism and Nationalism in Catalonia\, Scotland\, and Northern Italy DESCRIPTION:Western Europe\, the birthplace of the modern nation-state\, is now home to several polities facing threats to their political and territorial integrity. The demands of subnational challengers run the gamut from greater political and/or fiscal autonomy within established states to formal separation and political sovereignty. These challengers have employed a variety of strategies in pursuit of those demands\, including drafting legislation\, organizing mass protests\, and holding referenda. This panel brings together experts on intra-state conflict in Italy\, Spain\, and the United Kingdom. The panelists will explore the sources of grievances by regional actors in the Northern League\, Catalonia\, and Scotland\; examine the nature of their goals and strategies\; and discuss the response of central state actors to these challenges to the status quo. \n \nDario Gaggio\, History \nKali Israel\, History \nFrank Casa\, Romance Languages and Literatures \nModerator: Geneviève Zubrzycki\, Sociology\; Director\, Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia and Center for European Studies UID:47766-11012471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47766 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Democracy,European,History,International,Politics LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180110T140937 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T161500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T210000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Engineering IA Teaching Orientation DESCRIPTION:New engineering undergraduate instructional aides (IAs) are REQUIRED to attend a teaching orientation.

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.

At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work.

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.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

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.

The first line shows artists who challenge and confront intense socio-political situations of China\; they confront global forces with individualistic artistry. The second line shows artists who attempt to construct their own artistic niches and global expressions of peace and other humanist concerns. This talk introduces these parallel lines of engagements\, illustrating the ways Chinese artists discuss their art works since 1980s. \n\nZHANG Fang\, writer and art critic/historian\, is Hughes Scholar (2016-2017) at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan.

A class of solutions to this problem rely on a global U(1) symmetry that is anomalous with QCD. These solutions lead to robust low-energy predictions\, for example a massless up quark or a light axion. I will present simple extensions to such solutions which can dramatically change these low-energy predictions. In our models\, contributions from small instantons play a significant role in affecting the low-energy physics while preserving the solution to the strong CP problem.

As a consequence\, people may become more vigilant towards deviant behavior to protect themselves against such contamination. Indeed\, prior work shows that when the threat of pathogens is imminent\, people often protect themselves from contamination by avoiding others who may go against social norms. However\, other theories suggest that social norms may be stricter in contexts with greater threat in order to enable social coordination to deal with the threat. Although these two theories predict greater threat will be associated with stricter norms\, they suggest different mechanisms for how individuals may deal with the threat. Specifically\, the first would suggest avoidance of others\, while the second would entail social coordination. Importantly\, both these adaptive mechanisms may be at play\, but may be used to a different extent based on individual differences in relational orientations and perceptions of vulnerability to disease. Here\, we tested two distinct neural components: (i) detection of norm-violating behaviors (captured by an N400 event-related potential component) and (ii) increased vigilance (indexed by alpha suppression). 58 American undergraduates received a pathogen threat or control prime and then were asked to judge how violating a series of behaviors (e.g.\, crying) were in various settings (e.g.\, funeral or class lecture) that were pre-tested to be normal or norm violations respectively. Norm-violating (vs. normal) behaviors elicited a stronger negative deflection of electro-cortical response around 400ms post-stimulus (called the N400). This component indicates that norm violations were seen as more incongruent than normal behaviors. Supporting our hypothesis\, the N400 base to peak amplitude was significantly greater for norm violating versus normal behaviors in the pathogen threat (versus control) condition. Moreover\, Alpha-band (8-10.5Hz) power was suppressed (indicating greater vigilance) for the norm-violating (vs. normal) conditions\, indicating participants were more vigilant of norm violations than normal behaviors. Interestingly\, in the pathogen threat condition\, this vigilance effect became less pronounced for people high in interdependent self-construal\, fear of negative evaluation\, need to belong\, and germ aversion. Curiously\, the N400 for norm-violating (vs normal) behaviors was uninfluenced by these variables. Our data suggest that pathogen threats induce heightened vigilance to deviant behaviors\, although this is primarily driven by those low on perceptions of disease vulnerability and need to belong. Our data demonstrate two important neural signatures (N400 and alpha band suppression) that may constitute a crucial part of the behavioral immune system against pathogen contamination. Future work should test how those high in perceptions of vulnerability to disease and need to belong may cope with threat since they are not more vigilant to norm violations.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297761@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T170000 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.

To go faster and farther\, deep space mis-sions of the future will require increasingly larger total changes in the spacecraft velocity – ΔV. The largest ΔV provided by any onboard propulsion system in deep space is 11 km/s by the ion propulsion system on NASA’s Dawn mission. This is 3 to 4 times higher than the ΔV by any onboard chemical propulsion system. Solar EP has now been used on six missions beyond Earth orbit: Deep Space 1\, SMART-1\, Hayabusa 1\, LISA Pathfinder\, Hayabusa 2\, and Dawn\; and on hundreds of commercial communication satellites. The next uses of EP will be NASA’s mission to the metal world (16) Psyche and ESA’s BebiColombo mission to Mercury. This activity is driven by the inescapable reality of the rocket equation. Yet EP has just scratched the surface of what it can do. This talk will discuss how advanced EP technologies will impact an impressive range of future space activities including: rapid transportation throughout the solar system\; human missions beyond low-Earth orbit\; planetary defense\; asteroid mining\; gravitational wave experiments\; and even interstellar precursor missions.\n\nJohn Brophy received a B.S. in Mechanical Engr. from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1978\, and M.S. Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado State University in 1980 and 1984. In 1991 he led the U.S. team in the evaluation of Hall thruster technology in the Soviet Union leading to the wide-spread adoption of this technology in the West. In 1992 he initiated the NSTAR Project that successfully demonstrated of ion propulsion on Deep Space 1. He was responsible for the delivery of the Ion Propulsion System for NASA’s Dawn mission launched in 2007\, resulting in the first-ever use of ion propulsion on a deep-space science mission. In 2011 he co-led the Asteroid Retrieval Mission study at Caltech’s Keck Institute for Space Studies that resulted in NASA’s Asteroid Redirect Robotic Mission. He is a JPL and an AIAA Fellow. He received the Ernst Stuhlinger Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Electric Propulsion in 2015 and the AIAA Wyld Propulsion Award in 2017.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

Dr. Sheklian will work through two case studies\, what we call “comparative analysis of embedded cultural concepts.” First\, he will develop Armenian Miaphysite Christology as a semiotic mode\, emphasizing reflection on Jesus Christ as “the Word” and drawing connections to exegetical practices within the Armenian Christian tradition. Secondly\, he will compare the Armenian concepts of derutyun (“dominion”) and ishkhanutyun (“authority”) to ideas about sovereignty and the sovereign state. Through these examples\, the lecture will present and develop the possibility for deploying concepts internal to the Armenian textual tradition themselves as part of a robust social theory and mode of theorizing the (Armenian) present. \n \nChristopher Sheklian studies secularism\, minority rights\, contemporary urban politics\, and the connections between theology and social theory. His work deploys theological categories and liturgical practice in order to explore modes of belonging and forms of attachment available to religious minority populations in urban centers. He received his PhD from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Chicago in 2017. In his dissertation\, \"Theology and the Community: The Armenian Minority\, Tradition\, and Secularism in Turkey\,\" he argues that a liturgical subject immersed in the music and temporality of the Armenian Church can be attuned to the city of Istanbul in a way that highlights both the possibilities and limits for minority inclusion in Turkey today.\n\nSponsors: Armenian Studies Program and Department of Anthropology.\n\nImage: Ruins of Sis | Credit: Christopher Sheklian UID:46691-10581047@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46691 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Armenia,Culture,Interdisciplinary,Religious Studies LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171122T141935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Cross Campus Transfer to LSA Information Sessions DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking about transferring to LSA from another University of Michigan school or college?

Today\, AI permeates multiple industries\, from self-driving vehicles and entertainment choices to cancer-detection and criminal justice. Moreover\, in the last few years\, it has had substantial impacts in molecular chemistry\, particle physics\, and more recently astronomy. AI\, and it’s sub-fields\, like machine learning\, are more than likely here to stay. But\, what are these algorithms really doing\, and are they ethically implemented? \n\nWe'll discuss these topics\, as well as the theory of deep learning\, and its application to modern astronomical surveys\, which are providing data sets that are unprecedented in size\, precision\, and complexity. Recent work with convolutional neural networks and strong gravitational lensing intimate the long-term potential for deep learning and its application to larger challenges in cosmology. However\, AI is not without its own shortcomings. We'll discuss the barriers to deep learning having its highest impact on science.\n\n UID:48332-11222703@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48332 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180112T152539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP Proposal Writing Workshop DESCRIPTION:Don't let an unpolished proposal hold you back from a research experience!

Religion\, Ethics\, and Climate Change DESCRIPTION:Pope Francis is a lonely voice in pushing for action on climate change\; why are other religious leaders so slow to respond to this ethical challenge? This talk will look at two ways that religions interact with science: either a totalizing view (\"religion has all the answers\") or a contingent view (\"religious answers may be revised\"). How do these views interact with the problem of climate change? The speaker will suggest that climate change is more than a challenge to energy policy\, it also undercuts the way that many people regard religion. \n\nJonathan Brockopp\, associate professor of history and religion at Penn State University\, specializes in the literary remains of early Islamic cultures\, including the Qur’an\, hadith\, legal and theological texts. In his most upcoming book\, \"Muhammad’s Heirs: the Rise of Muslim Scholarly Communities\,\" he focuses on the question of how early Islamic scholars construct their notion of religious authority. Professor Brockopp is the convener for the Penn State Society for the Study of Religion and the director of the Rock Ethics Institute Initiative in Religion and Ethics.\n\nThis lecture will be live-streamed from Michigan State University.

When asked about its unfortunately lesser success compared to that of the Seventh symphony\, the composer said “that is because it is so much better.” Unexpected turns\, exciting modulations\, and an incredibly creative instrumentation make this symphony the most experimental and exciting works he wrote in a purely classical style. The concert will close with Richard Strauss’s suite from his popular opera Rosenkavalier. This work follows the contour of the story\, highlighting some of the best moments including Viennese waltzes and love duets\, all amplified by Strauss’s magnificent orchestration. \n\nPROGRAM: Beethoven- Symphony No. 8\; Strauss- Rosenkavalier Suite UID:47721-11004674@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47721 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180117T180021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180117T220000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Mswing Open Swing DESCRIPTION:We play mostly current music\, but its a mix of everything you could potentially swing dance.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866199@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

His research focuses on American architecture of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His books include Frank Lloyd Wright’s Florida Southern College\, The Chicago Schoolhouse\,1856-2006: High School Architecture and Educational Reform\, and the recently published Minoru Yamasaki: Humanist Architecture for a Modernist World. Dr. Gyure serves on the Board of Directors of Docomomo Michigan and is a member of the Michigan Historic Preservation Review Board.\n\nThis presentation will provide an overview of architect Minoru Yamasaki’s most celebrated buildings and his significance to modern architecture. Yamasaki’s popularity arose from a unique form of humanist architecture which melded his interest in invoking feelings of “serenity” and “delight” with insights gained from studying historical architecture around the world. His work offered a gentler\, more decorated style of modernism distanced from the obsession with function or structure that \ncharacterized much of contemporary architecture. \n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us. The next lecture series will start March 8\, 2018. The title is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications.

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.

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.

In interviews\, Kamanaka explains that the aim of both was to increase radiation literacy by conveying the truth fully and accurately. Yet regardless of high radiation readings\, she emphasizes that neither her films\, nor the community discussion spaces she cultivates in trademark local screening events\, will ever judge exposed people for evacuating or not. How do we resolve the contradiction? This talk expands the insights of a biopolitical reading with an eco-materialist focus on affective labor and nuclear carework. \n \nMargherita Long teaches Japanese literature in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of California\, Irvine. Her talk today is from an in-process book manuscript titled \"On Being Worthy of the Event: Thinking Care\, Affect and Origin after Fukushima\".

One such site is Aztalan\, in Jefferson County\, Wisconsin. Aztalan\, attributed archaeologically to the Mississippian culture\, is located between the current Wisconsin cities of Madison and Milwaukee\, and was occupied from about AD 1000-1400. Over a series of years\, Goldstein has conducted research at and round the site\, most recently documenting how the people at Aztalan went beyond building mounds - they actively sculpted the landscape and built mounds with reflective surfaces used for effective performances.

Many algorithms with strong optimality guarantees encounter the curse-of-dimensionality\; their computational expense grows exponentially with the size of the state space. In this talk\, we describe new developments in low-rank multilinear algebra that enable foundational algorithms within autonomy for high-dimensional systems. We demonstrate how compression techniques based on a continuous extension of tensor decompositions can be used to solve Markov decisions processes (MDPs) that arise in systems described by stochastic differential equations. The resulting dynamic programming algorithms scale polynomially with dimension with guaranteed convergence. Applications to stochastic optimal control\, differential games\, and linear temporal logic are discussed. Experimental results are shown for an agile quadcopter system\, where we achieve 7 orders of magnitude compression of a discretized space with 10 (to the 12th power) states. Finally\, new research directions aimed towards embedding such schemes for online learning are described.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nAlex Gorodetsky is an Assistant Professor in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research interests include using applied mathematics and computational science to enable autonomous decision making under uncertainty. He is especially interested in controlling systems that must act in complex environments that can be simulated using a large number of computational resources. Toward this goal\, he pursues research in wide-ranging areas including uncertainty quantification\, statistical inference and machine learning\, numerical analysis\, function approximation\, control\, and optimization.\n\nPrior to returning to the University of Michigan\, Alex was the John von Neumann Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque\, New Mexico. At Sandia\, Alex worked in the Optimization and Uncertainty Quantification Group on algorithms for propagating uncertainty through complex physical systems. Alex completed his Ph.D. (2016) and S.M. (2012) in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, where he worked on algorithms for stochastic optimal control and estimation in dynamical systems. He received his B.S.E (2010) in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan.

To understand organ function in normal and diseased states\, their anatomy\, including transcriptional profile and intracellular pathways\, needs to be captured as a whole. Towards this end\, tissue clearing and labeling methods were devised to render entire organs transparent by removing lipids\, allowing light penetration throughout (1). Cleared tissue facilitates the 3D structural mapping and connectivity of whole organs with unprecedented resolution and detail\, for instance\, our recent demonstration of single molecule RNA transcript detection in thick mouse brain tissue (2).\n \nAlthough tissue clearing methods work well on soft tissue\, vital organs with complex composition (e.g. bones and cartilage) are challenging to clear. Given that bone tissue harbors unique and essential physiological processes\, such as hematopoiesis\, bone growth\, and bone remodeling\, we decided to enable visualization of these processes at the cellular level in an intact environment. Therefore\, we developed “Bone CLARITY\,” a bone tissue clearing method (3). We used Bone CLARITY and a custom-built light- sheet fluorescence microscope to detect the endogenous fluorescence of Sox9-tdTomato+ osteoprogenitor cells in the tibia\, femur\, and vertebral column of adult transgenic mice. To obtain a complete distribution map of these osteoprogenitor cells\, we developed a computational pipeline that semiautomatically detects individual Sox9-tdTomato+ cells in their native three-dimensional environment. Our computational method counted all labeled osteoprogenitor cells without relying on sampling techniques and displayed increased precision when compared with traditional stereology techniques for estimating the total number of these rare cells. We demonstrate the value of the clearing-imaging pipeline by quantifying changes in the population of Sox9-tdTomato–labeled osteoprogenitor cells after sclerostin antibody treatment. Bone tissue clearing is able to provide fast and comprehensive visualization of biological processes in intact bone tissue.\n\nFrom the brain to bone\, I believe that with continued development\, methods that measure cellular and molecular phenotyping at the whole organ level will be the de facto approach to studying biological questions and diseases.

Does the replay produce anything like what we see today? In other words\, is evolution reproducible\, or do chance events (perhaps inconsequential at the time) cause evolutionary paths to diverge? Using experimental evolution we can perform Gould's thought experiment in the laboratory by evolving hundreds of replicate populations. \n\nWe evolved ~600 replicate populations of the budding yeast\, Saccharomyces cerevisiae\, for 1\,000 generations in rich glucose medium. We used whole-genome whole-population sequencing to examine the dynamics of genome sequence. Combining experimental evolution and quantitative genetics\, we quantify the fitness effects of all mutations in 11 lineages and we identify genetic interactions. \n\nOur results show that patterns of genome sequence evolution are driven by a balance between chance effects\, which increase stochastic variation in evolutionary outcomes\, and the deterministic action of selection on individual mutations\, which favors parallel evolutionary solutions in replicate populations.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/QkVqvtbDq3Q UID:47365-10880014@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47365 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180315T133743 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180118T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180118T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LCTP Inaugural Lecture | The Future of Fundamental Physics DESCRIPTION:Fundamental physics started the 20th century with the twin revolutions of relativity and quantum mechanics\, and much of the second half of the century was devoted to the construction of a theoretical structure unifying these radical ideas. Yet storm clouds are gathering\, which point towards a new set of revolutions on the horizon in the 21st century. Space-time is doomed—how can it emerge from more primitive building blocks? And how is our macroscopic universe compatible with violent microscopic quantum fluctuations that seem to make its existence wildly implausible? In this talk I will describe these deep mysteries and outline some of our strategies for making progress on them. I will also discuss plans for a giant new particle accelerator with energy seven times higher than the Large Hadron Collider that will be necessary to make major progress on at least some of these questions in the coming decades.

Placing stories of individual women—such as Sandra Bland\, Rekia Boyd\, Dajerria Becton\, Monica Jones\, and Mya Hall—in the broader context of the twin epidemics of police violence and mass incarceration\, Ritchie documents the evolution of movements centering women’s experiences of policing and demands a radical rethinking of our visions of safety—and the means we devote to achieving it.\n\nAndrea Ritchie\, J.D.\, is a Black lesbian immigrant whose writing\, litigation\, and advocacy has focused on policing of women and LGBT people of color for the past two decades. She is currently Researcher in Residence on Race\, Gender Sexuality and Criminal Justice at the Barnard Center for Research on Women’s Social Justice Institute\, and was a 2014 Senior Soros Justice Fellow. She is the author of Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color (Beacon Press\, 2017)\, co-author of Say Her Name: Resisting Police Brutality Against Black Women (African American Policy Forum\, July 2015)\, and Queer (In)Justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United States (Beacon Press\, 2011).

Taking the University of Michigan as a case study\, we hope to engage questions of scholarship and public expression incubated in the globalized environment that is the contemporary American university. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of English as a Second Language or as a lingua franca\, we seek a discussion around scholarly expression in a multicultural\, globalized academia. How does an American academic culture of expression interact with the increasingly international body of authors on campus? And\, what does it mean to think and write from a non-normative background? Please join us for a scholarly conversation on multilingualism and the pleasures and difficulties of translation.\n\nSpeakers:\nPär Cassel (History & International Relations)\nGottfried Hagen (Near Eastern Studies)\nSe-Mi Oh (Asian Languages & Cultures)\nBenjamin Paloff (Comparative & Slavic Literature)\nWill Thomson (Anthropology & Architecture)\n\nHors d'oeuvres to be served UID:48048-11170226@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48048 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:colloquium,Dinner,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Education,Food,Free,Graduate School,Graduate Students,Interdisciplinary,International,Language,Literature,Multicultural,Multidisciplinary Design,Rackham,Research,Scholarship,Study Abroad,symposium,Writing LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - West Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180116T161707 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180118T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180118T200000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Opening Reception: Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era DESCRIPTION:The exhibition opens with a reception with the artists and an accompanying performance by Bailey Scieskza\, who will be in character consistent with her costume figures and installation.\n\nPre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era showcases the works of Heidi Barlow\, Shaina Kasztelan\, and Bailey Scieszka\, three young women artists based in Detroit\, MI. Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47955-11157187@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47955 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing.

They are detourned to embody principles of democracy\, inclusion\, and group participation in the writing and interpretation of history. In dark times\, it’s rare that a political poster is celebratory\, and when it is\, it almost always focuses on a small canon of male individuals: MLK\, Ghandi\, Che\, or Mandela. Rather than create another exclusive set of heroes\, curator Josh MacPhee decided to generate a diverse set of posters that bring to life successful moments in the history of social justice struggles. To that end\, MacPhee asked artists and designers to find events\, groups\, and people who have moved the collective struggle of humanity forward in order to create a more equitable and just world. The resulting posters tell stories from the subjective position of the artists\, and are often the stories of underdogs\, those written out of history. The goal of the project is not to tell a definitive history\, but to suggest a new relationship to the past.\n\nToday the CPH posters grace the walls of dorm rooms\, apartments\, community centers\, classrooms\, and city streets. 115 different designs have been printed in the past 20 years\, adding up to over 300\,000 total posters. Although MacPhee has organized and funded the posters himself\, they have always been a collective project. Over one hundred artists and writers have created posters\, multiple printshops have done the printing\, dozens of people have run around at night pasting them on the street\, and thousands have helped distribute them around the world.\n\nThe Celebrate People’s History Poster Series has been organized and curated by Josh MacPhee since 1998.\n\nParticipating Artists and Authors: Act Up Philadelphia\, Morgan F.P.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Many previous causal inference studies require no interference among units\, that is\, the potential outcomes of a unit do not depend on the treatments of other units. This no-interference assumption\, however\, becomes unreasonable when units are partitioned into groups and they interact with other units within groups. In a motivating application from Peking University\, students are admitted through either the college entrance exam (also known as Gaokao) or recommendation (often based on Olympiads in various subjects). Right after entering college\, students are randomly assigned to different dorms\, each of which hosts four students. Because students within the same dorm live together and interact with each other extensively\, it is very likely that peer effects exist and the no interference assumption is violated. More importantly\, understanding peer effects among students gives useful guidance for future roommate assignment to improve the overall performance of students. Methodologically\, we define peer effects in terms of potential outcomes\, and propose a randomization-based inference framework to study peer effects in general settings with arbitrary numbers of peers and arbitrary numbers of peer types. Our inferential procedure does not require any parametric modeling assumptions on the outcome distributions. Additionally\, our analysis of the data set from Peking University gives useful practical guidance for policy makers.

Early efforts led by those with direct experience of New Order era repression focused on documentation\, gathering testimonies\, organizing victims\, raising awareness\, “straightening” history\, and advocating for human rights tribunals and other legal forms of justice. Currently\, these modes of engagement and organization are changing\, particularly among millennials. Drawing on field research between 2014-2017\, I consider how youth are engaged and invoked by differently positioned actors and advocates and how youth themselves initiate projects to understand\, know\, and remember authoritarian violence. I document and analyze a shift in these campaigns from earlier legal and documentary modes of truth seeking and history writing to strategies of presentation and engagement that rely on embodied memory\, “living in”\, empathy\, historical re-enactment\, art\, music\, drama and aesthetics. While these current affective initiatives are deeply political\, those who enact them often claim a space beyond politics. As stigmatization\, historical injustices\, and shades of authoritarianism persist despite on-going efforts to #remember history\, I suggest that the affective dynamics linking and dividing historical moments\, individuals and groups drive both action and inaction in the political present.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297763@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171215T110232 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180119T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180119T150000 SUMMARY:Presentation:CCN Forum- DESCRIPTION:.

Mathematical models\, when applied to fossilized plant organs—particularly leaves and stems—can provide quantitative insight into the physiology and ecology of plants that have been extinct for hundreds of millions of years. Comparing the physiology of extinct plants with strategies that are currently employed by living plants sheds light on ecophysiological trajectories in plant evolutionary history and the history of plant-environment coevolution.\n\nIn this presentation\, I will describe the history of water transport in land plants and focus on key plants from the Euramerican Carboniferous tropical forests\, including Medullosa\, a morphologically diverse genus of Carboniferous plants that evolved fronds and stems capable of high rates of transpiration. Each of these plants contains anatomical features that result in novel physiologies\, and together they represent the early evolution of physiological complexity—and the capability to influence regional climates and biogeochemical cycles—in terrestrial ecosystems.

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.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity.

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.

Young-hee is recovering from the end of an affair with a married film-maker and she discusses her scandalous relationship wandering in the winter weather and visiting friends. \n\nOnce back in Korea\, she walks the lonely beaches of Gangneung and discusses the right to her choices and the harm she’s done to other people. \n \nRead the review on Variety: http://variety.com/2017/film/reviews/on-the-beach-at-night-alone-review-berlinale-2017-1201990042/ UID:47827-11015167@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47827 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Film LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180115T144011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180120T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180120T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Between Past and Future: Wang Qingsong 1999-2006 DESCRIPTION:Curated by ZHANG Fang\, this art exhibition will include six of WANG Qingsong’s representative photo works that depict the traumatic transformations that have taken place inside China. These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297764@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180117T181520 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180120T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Masters Recital: Jotaro Nakano\, conductor DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Brahms - Symphony no. 1 in C Minor\, op. 68.
