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.

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?

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.

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:48737-11297762@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:20180118T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180118T170000 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.

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.

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.

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:47322-10866200@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:48737-11297765@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:20180102T230742 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180121T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180121T150000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Guided Tour - Red Circle: Designing Japan in Contemporary Posters and In Focus: Paul Rand DESCRIPTION:In the 1980s\, Japan’s strong trade surplus and currency were causing friction and antagonism overseas. In response\, three renowned Japanese artists took on the challenge of changing Japan’s global image through graphic design. Their eye-catching designs often incorporated familiar traditional symbols and motifs\, notably the iconic red circle against a white background of Japan’s national flag\, from which this exhibition gains it name\, Red Circle: Designing Japan in Contemporary Posters. Paul Rand also crafted memorable graphic design in the second half of the twentieth century. Rand was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. This installation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign\, a rebus which transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. Join Docents as they introduce and connect these two exciting exhibitions focusing on graphic design.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.\n\nLead support for Red Circle is provided by AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

The orchestra\, led by Chelsea Gallo\, brings together medical\, health and science faculty\, staff\, students and alumni from across the university.\n\nThe concert is free and open to the public\, as is a pre-concert lecture at 3:15 p.m. by Gallo and Nagel in the lower level of the building. \n\nNo tickets are required\, though the LSO accepts donations to support its concerts. A new easy way to show support for the LSO is by texting the word ARTS to the number 50555\, which will trigger a process to give $10 to the orchestra. \n\nFirst on the program is German composer Carl Maria von Weber’s overture from the 1821 opera Der Freischütz\, led by assistant conductor Tal Benatar. \n\nNext\, Ludwig von Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor\, Op. 37\, played by Nagel\, an emeritus professor of music at U-M. Nagel\, who is renowned as both a performer and teacher\, retired from the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance in 2016 after 47 years. \n\nThe LSO will close out the concert by leaping forward more than a century to 1930s Russia\, with Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 in D minor\, Op. 47. \n\nGallo and Benatar are both students in the UMSMTD’s nationally known orchestral conducting program. Gallo holds the Gilbert S. Omenn\, M.D. Music Director position with the LSO\, made possible by a gift from its namesake\, the first U-M executive vice president for medical affairs and a longtime supporter of the LSO.\n\nThe orchestra is part of the Gifts of Art program\, which brings the world of art and music to Michigan Medicine\, the U-M academic medical center. The LSO gives members an outlet for their musical talents and a chance to interact with one another across academic disciplines and professions. The orchestra made its concert debut in January 2001 and plays two free concerts each year. \n\nFor information\, visit http://lso.med.umich.edu/ or www.facebook.com/umlso\, send e-mail to orchestra@umich.edu\, or call (734) 936-ARTS.

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. 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:47322-10866203@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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

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

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

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

When two individuals interact repeatedly and reciprocate favors\, both are better off in the long-term than if they act selfishly. While the importance of reciprocity has been shown in theoretical models and extensively studied in adults\, little is known about the developmental trajectory of reciprocity in children. Here I present a series of study to test when reciprocity begins to shape children’s sharing decisions. \n\nA first set of studies asks how children evaluate others as potential reciprocal partners. By adapting a trust game for 4- to 6-year-old children\, we assessed when they begin to share with trustworthy partners who share fairly over untrustworthy partners who keep proceeds for themselves. A second set of studies asks how children act when they are being evaluated as social partners themselves. In a new “bribery game”\, 3- to 7 –year-old children could curry favors to others in order to elicit reciprocation and be chosen as social partners themselves.\n\nI discuss these findings in light of the hypothesis that children become increasingly more strategic over development and learn to use prosocial means for ulterior selfish ends.

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:48737-11297766@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:20180122T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180122T170000 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.

Jesus’ followers went out into the Roman Empire to tell stories of his life. For two hundred years scribes recorded their tales. Literate Apostles like Paul wrote letters that belong among the world’s great literature. Unknown artists painted portraits\, stories\, symbols\, and signs. \n\nThis course for those 50 and over traces the evolution of Christian art focusing on Eastern Christian churches. We will include a field trip to St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church to view newly installed icons. \n\nInstructor Mike Kapetan has created art for churches of all denominations\, synagogues and Buddhist temples.\n\nThis study group will meet for two hours on Mondays from January 22 through February 12.

Interpreting Islam in China DESCRIPTION:A distinctive Chinese Islamic intellectual tradition emerged during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Chinese Muslims established an educational system\, scripture hall education (jingtang jiaoyu 經堂教育)\, which utilized an Islamic curriculum made up of Arabic\, Persian\, and Chinese works. The Han Kitab\, a corpus of Chinese language Islamic texts developed within this system\, reinterpreted Islam through the religio-philosophical lens of Buddhist\, Daoist\, and Confucian terminology. Several Han Kitab texts were produced by a group of self-identified “Confucian Muslim” scholars (Huiru 回儒). This presentation traces the contours of the Sino-Islamic intellectual tradition and serves as an introduction to Kristian Petersen’s book\, \"Interpreting Islam in China: Pilgrimage\, Scripture\, and Language in the Han Kitab\" (Oxford University Press\, 2017).\n \nKristian Petersen is an assistant professor in the Department of Religious Studies and co-director of the Islamic Studies Program at the University of Nebraska Omaha. He specializes on two main areas of research 1) the development of Islam in China\, and 2) Muslims in Cinema. He is currently working on a monograph entitled \"The Cinematic Lives of Muslims.\" He also serves as host of the New Books in Islamic Studies podcast.

These brutal histories of land dispossession\, military conquest\, forced settlement\, religious repression\, and coercive assimilation have robbed American Indian communities of their economies\, lifeways\, and sources of meaning and significance in the world. The predictable consequence has been an epidemic of “mental health” problems such as demoralization\, substance abuse\, violence\, and suicide within these communities. One apparent solution would seem to be the initiation or expansion of mental health services to better reach American Indian clients. And yet\, conventional mental health services such as counseling and psychotherapy depend on assumptions and aspirations that may not fit well with indigenous cultural sensibilities. For example\, counseling practices draw on the presumed value for clients of introspective and expressive “self talk\,” while tribal community norms may emphasize communicative caution outside of interactions with intimate kin\, leading to marked reticence rather than candid disclosure. Moreover\, given the sensitive history of colonization\, such differences have the potential to further alienate indigenous community members from the very services and providers designated to help them. This presentation will review the implicit logics that structure mental health service delivery as well as key ethno-psychological commitments of many American Indian communities in an effort to re-imagine counseling services in a manner that truly centers indigenous perspectives.

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:47322-10866204@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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

China is often feared and respected but not necessarily trusted or loved beyond its borders.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn a heterogeneous system\, such as a large biomolecule or complex nanostructure\, there is no guarantee that the lowest-free-energy state will form via self-assembly. Defects and mis-interactions among subunits often arise during a self-assembly reaction\, particularly when these systems comprise many distinct components. As a result\, if we wish to assemble complex nanostructures reliably\, we need to design robust kinetic pathways to the target structures. I shall describe a theoretical approach for predicting self-assembly pathways in both engineered nanostructures and natural biomolecules. First\, I shall discuss design principles that can be used to tune the nucleation and growth rates of colloidal nanostructures\, with implications for achieving low-defect self-assembly and designing time-dependent experimental protocols. Then\, turning to biological examples of kinetic optimization\, I shall discuss how analogous principles have shaped the evolution of variable ribosome translation rates in order to optimize the folding of nascent proteins.

Some Lessons from Gandhi’s India DESCRIPTION:U-M Professor of English\, History\, and Women’s Studies Mrinalini Sinha explores the particular construction of a people in M. K. Gandhi’s politics on his arrival in India. It takes the movement for the abolition of the indentured labor system\, the first public campaign with which Gandhi was involved upon his return to India\, to explore the contours of the construction of a people. The aim is to contrast the invocation of a people in Gandhi’s India with contemporary claims to a people’s politics\, in revolt against an establishment elite. In short\, what might Gandhi’s politics of a people have to offer to our times?

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:48737-11297767@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:20180123T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180123T170000 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.

What\, and who\, holds together its large corporate interests\, small-government libertarians\, social and racial traditionalists\, and evangelical Christians?\n\nIn his new book\, Raised Right: Fatherhood in Modern American Conservatism (Stanford University Press\, 2017)\, Jeffrey R. Dudas\, pursues these questions through a cultural study of three iconic conservative figures: National Review editor William F. Buckley\, Jr.\, President Ronald Reagan\, and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Examining their papers\, writings\, and rhetoric\, Dudas identifies what he terms a \"paternal rights discourse\"—the arguments about fatherhood and rights that permeate their personal lives and political visions.\n\nFor each\, paternal discipline was crucial to producing autonomous citizens worthy and capable of self-governance. This paternalist logic is the cohesive agent for an entire conservative movement\, uniting its celebration of \"founding fathers\,\" past and present\, constitutional and biological. Yet this discourse produces a paradox: When do authoritative fathers transfer their rights to these well-raised citizens? This duality propels conservative politics forward with unruly results. The mythology of these American fathers gives conservatives something\, and someone\, to believe in—and therein lies its timeless appeal.\n\nJeffrey R. Dudas is Associate Professor of Political Science and Affiliate Faculty of American Studies at the University of Connecticut. He specializes in the areas of American law\, politics\, and culture and focuses\, in particular\, on the many facets of the American politics of rights.\n\nCosponsored by the Department of Sociology\, Department of Women's Studies\, and History Department\n\nEvent Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E.

These studies are each underpinned by an exact theoretical result that leads to a possibly approximate\, but reliable basis for interpretation of experimental data. The first example is the behavior of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation in two of the high-Tc materials vis-a-vis inelastic neutron scattering (INS) studies that evaluate the dynamic susceptibility chi”(q\,omega)*. Such a comparison shows that a substantial amount of intensity for chi” is simply missing from currently available INS data. The other two examples feature NMR studies of the stoichiometric QCP compound YbRh2Si2. In the first of these\, NMR shows that high-quality crystals of this system enter into a macroscopic two-state admixture of non-Fermi-liquid and Fermi-liquid phases**. Such a result is not accessible with bulk measurements. In the second example\, quantitative measurements of indirect spin-spin couplings exhibit a temperature dependence revealing modifications of the Fermi Surface with temperature***. To our knowledge\, none of the results described has any precedent in the NMR literature. \n\n* R. E. Walstedt\, T. E. Mason\, G. Aeppli\, S. M. Hayden\, H. A. Mook\, Phys. Rev.

Cuzco to Ceuta to Buenos Aires: Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru and Atlantic Revolutions\, 1780-1825 DESCRIPTION:Charles Walker is writing a graphic history of Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru\, in collaboration with Liz Clarke. The brother of the rebel leader Jose Gabriel Condorcanqui or Tupac Amaru\, Juan Bautista was arrested in Cusco after the massive uprising (1780-83)\, taken in chains to Lima and then in a miserable journey to Spain\, where he was sentenced to the northern Africa presido of Ceuta. He spent more than 30 years as a prisoner there and upon his release in 1820\, was taken to Argentina as an “Inca hero” of the nascent Argentine republic. He died in Buenos Aires\, never returning to Peru. Professor Walker will discuss Juan Bautista's life as a witness to the age of revolution and also discuss the challenges and joys of graphic histories.

Despite the widespread use of the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT)\, its properties have yet to be fully understood. When is it optimal\, and when can it be improved upon? How does its performance depend on the cones? I provide some answers to these and other questions\, all based on a tight characterization of the GLRT's performance.\n\nIn the second part\, I will discuss how to understand the behavior of early stopping with boosting for non -parametric regression. While non-parametric models offer great flexibility\, they can lead to overfitting and thus poor generalization performance. For this reason\, procedures for fitting these models must involve some form of regularization. Although early-stopping of iterative algorithms is a widely-used form of regularization in statistics and optimization\, it is less well-understood than its analogue based on penalized regularization. In this talk\, I will establish some precise connections between these two\, and give an explicit and optimal stopping criteria for boosting algorithms run in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space.\n\nThis talk is based on joint works with Adityanand Guntuboyina\, Martin Wainwright and Fanny Yang.

DESCRIPTION:In the last few months a series of “culture wars” have been ignited across the country. Activists from all points of the political spectrum\, even the President of the United States himself\, are turning to beloved cultural objects to stake a claim for their differing beliefs in a politically fraught moment. Black athletes are taking a knee. Anti-immigration voters are rallying for a wall. Long-standing Confederate monuments are coming down.\n\nWhat is at stake in the ways we understand culture and cultural conflict? High Stakes Culture is a new series\, presented by the Institute for the Humanities and the Humanities Collaboratory\, that brings humanities perspectives to bear on current debates. Join us as we ask: How and why does culture matter so much now?\n\nJoin the conversation as humanities scholars Angela Dillard (Afroamerican and African studies and Residential College)\, Matthew Countryman (history and American culture)\, Mark Clague (music)\, and Kristin Hass (American culture) tackle these questions and others you might have about high stakesculture now.\n\nWhen did sports and patriotism become so deeply linked?\nHas the flag always been viewed as sacred and purely a symbol of the armed forces?\nWhere did the national anthem come from\, and have people always stood when it is played?\nWho gets to decide what symbols deserve respect and what counts as a gesture of respect?

Russia’s Complex Relationship with the North Caucasus: Past and Present DESCRIPTION:In 2004\, a group of Islamic militants occupied a school in Beslan\, in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation\, demanding recognition for an independent Chechnya. Over three hundred hostages\, including children\, were killed in the siege. The dramatic event and its aftermath is the topic of the UMS performance Us/Them on January 24-28. For this panel\, a group of experts will provide much-needed context and analysis of the broader situation of the North Caucasus and its complex relationship with Russia. \n\nPauline Jones\, professor of political science\, U-M\nAlexander Knysh\, professor of Islamic studies\, U-M\nTanya Lokshina\, Russia program director\, Human Rights Watch\nModerator: Geneviève Zubrzycki\, professor of sociology\; Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia and Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies director\n\nPauline Jones' scholarly work contributes broadly to the study of institutional origin\, change\, and impact in a wide variety of settings: newly emergent states with multiple competing subnational identities\, states transitioning from planned to market economies\, states rich in natural resources\, and states with predominantly Muslim populations. The empirical basis for her work has been primarily the former Soviet Union (FSU) -- particularly the five Central Asian republics that gained independence in 1991 (Kazakhstan\, Kyrgyzstan\, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan\, Uzbekistan). However\, she has also engaged in broad cross-national comparisons across regions\, including Latin America\, Southeast Asia\, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)\, utilizing a combination of controlled case comparisons and statistical analysis. Future research will explore the institutionalization of secularism and the politics of extremism\, focusing on countries with predominantly Muslim populations. \n\nAlexander Knysh is professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Michigan and principal investigator of a research project on political Islam/Islamism sponsored by the Rectorate of the St. Petersburg State University\, Russia. His academic interests include Islamic mysticism (Sufism)\; Qur’anic studies\; the history of Muslim theological\, philosophical\, and juridical thought\; and modern Islamic/Islamist movements in comparative perspective. He has numerous academic and instructional publications on these subjects\, including twelve books. Since 2006\, he has served as section editor for “Sufism” on the editorial board of the \"Encyclopedia of Islam\, Third Edition\" (E.J. Brill\, Leiden and Boston). He is also executive editor of the \"Encyclopedia of Islamic Mysticism\" and the \"Handbooks of Islamic Mysticism\" series associated with it (E.J. Brill\, Leiden).\n\nTanya Lokshina is the Russia program director and a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch and is based in Moscow. Having joined Human Rights Watch in January 2008\, Lokshina authored several reports on egregious abuses in Russia’s turbulent North Caucasus region and co-authored a report on violations of international humanitarian law during the 2008 armed conflict in Georgia. Her recent publications include a range of materials on Russia’s vicious crackdown on critics of the government and on violations of international humanitarian law during the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine. Lokshina is a recipient of the 2006 Andrei Sakharov Award\, “Journalism as an Act of Conscience.” Her articles on human rights issues have been featured in prominent Russian and foreign media outlets\, including CNN\, the Guardian\, Le Monde\, the Moscow Times\, Novaya Gazeta\, and the Washington Post. Lokshina’s books include \"Chechnya Inside Out\" and \"Imposition of a Fake Political Settlement in the Northern Caucasus.\" In 2014\, her article on the abusive virtue campaign against women in Chechnya was published in \"Chechnya at War and Beyond\" (Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series).

In both cases the research is ethnographic\, although each case study requires considerably different research methods. While the Anatolian saz and a Eurorack synthesizer might initially appear to be very different instruments (especially around questions of interface and audible aesthetics)\, they share in common some surprising features concerning normative modes of human-object interaction and conceptualizations of agency. I use these case studies to explore two questions that have broader implications for music studies. First\, musical instruments are instrumental towards what ends\, and how are these ends instrumentalized? Second\, how can a careful attention to instruments and instrumentality tell us something more general about the relations of people and technical/technological objects? As I will argue\, ethnomusicological inquiry has considerable potential to make a fruitful intervention into science and technology studies\, especially with regards to the study of technological use.\n\nEliot Bates is an ethnomusicologist specializing in digital audio recording cultures and the production of contemporary music in Istanbul\, Turkey. A graduate of UC Berkeley (2008)\, he is currently an assistant professor of Ethnomusicology at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York\, and prior to this taught at the University of Birmingham (UK)\, Cornell University\, and the University of Maryland\, College Park.

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:47322-10866205@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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

Crackdown in Chechnya: Ramzan Kadyrov’s Brutal Rule and International Human Rights DESCRIPTION:For more than a decade\, Ramzan Kadyrov has run Chechnya through brutal repression and with the tacit blessing of the Kremlin\, gradually built a tyranny there\, ruthlessly eradicating even the mildest forms of dissent. In spring 2017\, the authorities launched a massive anti-gay purge\, during which dozens of men were held in unofficial detention facilities\, tortured and otherwise abused by local police and security officials. The purge caused a major international outcry and for the first time in many years\, made the world pay attention to horrific human rights abuses in Chechnya.\n\nTanya Lokshina is the Russia program director and a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch and is based in Moscow. Having joined Human Rights Watch in January 2008\, Lokshina authored several reports on egregious abuses in Russia’s turbulent North Caucasus region and co-authored a report on violations of international humanitarian law during the 2008 armed conflict in Georgia. Her recent publications include a range of materials on Russia’s vicious crackdown on critics of the government and on violations of international humanitarian law during the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine. Lokshina is a recipient of the 2006 Andrei Sakharov Award\, “Journalism as an Act of Conscience.” Her articles on human rights issues have been featured in prominent Russian and foreign media outlets\, including CNN\, the Guardian\, Le Monde\, the Moscow Times\, Novaya Gazeta\, and the Washington Post. Lokshina’s books include \"Chechnya Inside Out\" and \"Imposition of a Fake Political Settlement in the Northern Caucasus.\" In 2014\, her article on the abusive virtue campaign against women in Chechnya was published in \"Chechnya at War and Beyond\" (Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series).

To achieve this\, his group develops robust and scalable numerical methods to leverage world-class supercomputing resources. His current research projects are focused on adjoint-based methods applied to turbulent combustion\, modeling strongly-coupled particle-laden flows\, and understanding interactions between electrostatics and turbulence in atmospheric clouds.\n\nPrior to joining the mechanical engineering department at the University of Michigan in 2016\, Dr. Capecelatro was a research scientist at the Center for Exascale Simulation of Plasma-coupled Combustion (XPACC) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He received a B.S. in mechanical engineering from SUNY Binghamton in 2009\, and two years later completed a M.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder\, where he performed research in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on numerical modeling of fluidized bed reactors. In 2014 he received a Ph.D. from Cornell University under the guidance of Prof Olivier Desjardins\, where his thesis focused on high performance computing of turbulent multiphase flows. He spent the summer following his Ph.D. as a visiting postdoc at the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse and École Centrale Paris focusing on fundamental and numerical studies of particle-induced turbulence.\n\nThe complex and multiscale behavior associated with turbulent flows is further complicated by the presence of a disperse phase (i.e.\, solid particles\, liquid drops\, or gaseous bubbles). Strong coupling between the disperse phase and underlying turbulence plays important roles across engineering and science.

The most sensitive direct method to establish the absolute neutrino mass is observation of the endpoint of the tritium beta-decay spectrum. A lower bound of iis set by observations of neutrino oscillations\, while the KATRIN Experiment -- the current-generation tritium beta-decay experiment that is based on Magnetic Adiabatic Collimation with an Electrostatic (MAC-E) filter -- will achieve a sensitivity of better than 250 meV. Project 8 is a new experiment that uses Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) to probe much of the unexplored neutrino mass range with greater resolution. In this talk\, I will review the current status of these two experiments (KATRIN and Project 8) as they seek to finally measure the mass of the neutrino.\n UID:47838-11025470@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47838 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180124T132323 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180124T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180124T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Special Seminar: What 1.25 million scientific papers tell us about global biases in the creation and diffusion of scientific knowledge (and what we can do about it) DESCRIPTION:\"What 1.25 million scientific papers tell us about global biases in the creation and diffusion of scientific knowledge (and what we can do about it)\" UID:49092-11375474@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49092 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Environment,Public Policy,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180123T095655 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180124T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180124T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Growth\, Grit\, & Stick DESCRIPTION:Every student knows how to study\, right?

The Discipline’s Changing Assumptions and the Relevance of Neuroscience: A Reassessment DESCRIPTION:Each of the new assumptions adopted by successive generations of art historians\, whether Positivist\, Marxist\, Structuralist\, Post-Structuralist\, Freudian\, Feminist or Post-Colonialist\, has illuminated some previously under-appreciated aspect of the production and consumption of art. Often those assumptions have included an explicit acknowledgement of the relevance of the principles governing the operation of the brain\, as in the case of Winckelmann\, Taine\, Wölfflin\, Warburg\, Gombrich and Baxandall. Sometimes acknowledgement of such principles has only been implicit\, as in earlier Positivist analyses of ‘influence’ or the more recent identification of recurrent patterns of mental behaviour by Freudians\, Structuralists and Post-Structuralists. However\, now that the structure of the brain and the principles governing its operation have been revealed with a new clarity by the latest technologies\, all those earlier assumptions are in need of reassessment.\nThis lecture explores the relevance of the new neuroscientific knowledge to an understanding of the whole history of art\, moving from the Chauvet Cave to the origins of Gothic architecture\, and ending with reflections on the work of major twentieth century artists\, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns.

The book offers a series of provocations to unsettle the predominant assumptions readers make when encountering post-Civil Rights black fiction. Foregrounding the large body of literature and criticism that grapples with legacies of the slave past\, Levy-Hussen’s argument develops on two levels: as a textual analysis of black historical fiction\, and as a critical examination of the reading practices that characterize the scholarship of our time.

According to The New York Times\, “If the music of Ricky Ian Gordon had to be defined by a single quality\, it would be the bursting effervescence infusing songs that blithely blur the lines between art song and the high-end Broadway music of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. It’s caviar for a world gorging on pizza.” Through the generosity of Michigan Opera Theater\, Gordon will conduct a master class with five pianist/vocalist teams from SMTD\, performing songs chosen specifically for them by the composer.
