SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Prairie Mantras: Paint & Vinyl on Aluminum
DESCRIPTION:Desiree Warren’s current body of work is a journey using one shape (the orzo) to create a multitude of layers that evoke landscapes and organic assimilations. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:of 72
DESCRIPTION:Note: Ebony Patterson Stamps lecture takes place Feb 1\, 5pm\, at the Michigan Theater\, immediately followed at 6pm by artist reception at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\n“What happens when seventy-two men and one woman die and no one knows who they are?” Jamaican artist Ebony Patterson’s of 72—a mixed media work on fabric with digital imagery\, embroidery\, rhinestones\, trimmings\, bandanas\, and floral appliques—considers the 2010 “Tivoli Incursion”  in Kingston\, Jamaica. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era
DESCRIPTION:Pre-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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Suzy Lake
DESCRIPTION:Suzy Lake was born and raised in Detroit. 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. In this exhibition\, Lake returns to her childhood neighborhood and various locations central to her family history to explore the cycles of urban development and decay in working class Detroit\, as well as her experience with ageism.\n\nExhibition Dates: January 19 - February 25\nHours: Open during exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday\, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm\; Thursday and Friday\, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Ziwei Zhu\, Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering\, Princeton University
DESCRIPTION:Modern data sets are often decentralized\; they are generated and stored in multiple sources across which the communication is constrained by bandwidth or privacy. This talk focuses on distributed estimation of principal eigenspaces of covariance matrices with decentralized data. We introduce and analyze a distributed algorithm that aggregates multiple principal eigenspaces through averaging the corresponding projection matrices. When the data distribution has sign-symmetric innovation\, the distributed PCA is proved to be “unbiased” such that its statistical error will converge to zero as the number of data splits grows to infinity. For general distributions\, when the number of data splits is not large\, this algorithm is shown to achieve the same statistical efficiency as the full sample oracle. We applied our algorithm to implement distributed partition of traffic network of Manhattan\; the distributed procedure delivered similar partition results as the centralized procedure provided that the number of data splits is not large.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series. Past Lives Present\, Tense: Past life memory in contemporary Cambodia and its significance
DESCRIPTION:Past-life memory in Cambodia is common. In Buddhist scriptural practices\, past-life memory is usually thought of in terms of the Buddhist cycle of saṃsāra\, where past-life memory is often a prerequisite for advanced stages of spiritual accomplishment. However\, in practice\, past-life memory is often deeply disturbing to the rememberer\, their family and their community. This presentation discusses multiple examples of contemporary past-life memory out of Davis' fieldwork in Cambodia\, highlighting the practices that surround such memory and uses to which such memories are put. Examples include the Cambodian Prime Minister\, a young girl who remembers being her own uncle\, a spiritual leader who claims to be the most important Buddhist leader of the Cambodian twentieth century as well as the repeated subject of national scandal because of his claims\, and another woman who put two families together in her youth\, and has maintained their connections into her eighties. These memories and rituals challenge many Western notions about the self and its construction in ways that may be productive.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Life After Graduate School Seminar | From grad school to Goldman Sachs: What PhDs are doing in Finance (and how to get there)
DESCRIPTION:It is no secret that banks and financial institutions hire PhDs from quantitative fields to fill their ‘quant’ positions. However pretty much everything else about the job can be a mystery. What do quants do? Why do they need PhDs? What is life like working as a quant? Will I like the role? How do I apply and get the position?\n\nAll of the above (and more) were a mystery to me a year ago. I will try to shed some light by drawing from my own experience transitioning from Physics grad student into modeling/data-science role at Goldman Sachs. I will give a short introduction to the Market Risk Modeling team and why we are looking for PhDs (yes\, we are hiring*).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Give Earth a Chance: Michigan in the World Online Exhibit Launch
DESCRIPTION:In March 1970\, students at the University of Michigan organized a four-day teach-in\, the precursor of the national Earth Day demonstration that April. The online exhibit “Give Earth a Chance” explores these pivotal events\, including video interviews with key organizers\, and reproduces more than four hundred archival documents and images from the Bentley Historical Library and Labadie Collection. The exhibit also chronicles the origins of the environmental movement in Michigan\, the establishment of the Ecology Center in Ann Arbor\, and other key developments in environmental activism and policymaking in the 1960s and 1970s.  \n\nJoin students from Professor Matthew Lassiter’s fall 2017 History 399 course as they launch “Give Earth a Chance\,” the latest installment of Michigan in the World\, a public history collaboration between the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.\n\nView other Michigan in the World projects and learn more about public history at U-M: https://lsa.umich.edu/history/public-history.html\n\nFree and open to the public.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Deep Crustal Structure of the Rocky Mountain Region from Seismic Observations\, Xenoliths\, and Local Studies of Exhumed Terranes
DESCRIPTION:Geophysical studies\, xenoliths\, magmatic records\, and rare exposures of once deep rocks provide different perspectives with which to investigate the structure\, composition\, and properties of deep continental crust. Each has its own inherent biases and/or limitations\, making integrated approaches particularly valuable in furthering our understanding of lithospheric evolution. We are comparing the structural\, metamorphic\, geochronological\, and petrophysical records from xenoliths and exhumed crustal terranes from a range of localities across the Rocky Mountain region to seismic observations from EarthScope’s USArray and other regional experiments. This presentation will focus on two aspects that offer complimentary perspectives on North American evolution. First\, we use seismic results from EarthScope experiments\, compilations of active source studies\, and selected xenolith studies to attempt to map the distribution of high-velocity lower crust across the continental U.S. and assess its relationship to emplacement and destruction-related mechanisms such as under-and intraplating\, collision\, extension\, heating\, cooling\, hydration\, and delamination. One major emphasis is on the geodynamic influence of garnet-producing and -consuming reactions on the density and velocity structure of the crust. The second aspect emphasizes seismic anisotropy as an important tool for mapping crustal-scale deformation patterns at depth. One preliminary conclusion from this work is that anisotropy in the central Rocky Mountain region apparently reflects competing signals from broadly distributed Paleoproterozoic fabric domains and late-stage localized shear zones. Important points to consider are the geometric and scale biases of seismic detection methods\, as well as the physical and chemical processes involved in anisotropy development during deformation.

DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Prairie Mantras: Paint & Vinyl on Aluminum
DESCRIPTION:Desiree Warren’s current body of work is a journey using one shape (the orzo) to create a multitude of layers that evoke landscapes and organic assimilations.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet
DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  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.

DESCRIPTION:Suzy Lake was born and raised in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Guided Tour - Aftermath: Landscapes of Devastation
DESCRIPTION:'Aftermath' examines landscape photographs made at the sites of natural or human-made disasters including volcano eruptions and floods\, massacres and uprisings\, and even nuclear explosions. The photographs picture well-known or\, at times\, untold stories of violence\, tragedy\, and loss. Each scene is visually stunning yet viewers may be surprised at the elements of beauty and tranquility present in these tragic landscapes. The images remind us that disaster is often a collective experience that can tear apart the seams of a culture’s social fabric and shape histories of a culture well after an event. UMMA docents will guide visitors as they contemplate photography’s role in depicting and shaping representations of past and present landscapes of devastation.\n\nLead support for 'Aftermath: Landscapes of Devastation' is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of Screen Arts and Cultures.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Premodern Colloquium. Winged Horses\, Celestial Asses\, and Beauty through the Eyes
DESCRIPTION:I discuss the reception of Plato’s Phaedrus in the late Italian Renaissance\, and in particular the Phaedrean sequencing of three of Giordano Bruno’s Italian dialogues\, The Exile of the Triumphant Beast\, The Cabala of Pegasus\, and The Heroic Frenzies.  I am specifically concerned with how Bruno investigates the topic of rebirth as a reply to his immediate source\, Ficino\, who made much of Plotinus’ refusal to allow of human transmigration into animal forms. The movement of these three texts\, beginning with the exile of the astrological beasts from their heavenly stations\, and ending with the exaltation of the ass and its installation in the celestial world as a winged Pegasus\, follows the trajectory of the myth in Plato’s text but also wanders in and out of the labyrinths of memory\, of selfhood\, of heavenly circuitry\, and into a final and horrific silencing. Already\, in the press toward the vernacular and the translation into what is regional\, as well as in Bruno’s very sojourn in England—in these ways the writing of the dialogues resembles the transmigration of the human soul and its rebirth in ever new forms.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:of 72
DESCRIPTION:Note: Ebony Patterson Stamps lecture takes place Feb 1\, 5pm\, at the Michigan Theater\, immediately followed at 6pm by artist reception at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\n“What happens when seventy-two men and one woman die and no one knows who they are?” Jamaican artist Ebony Patterson’s of 72—a mixed media work on fabric with digital imagery\, embroidery\, rhinestones\, trimmings\, bandanas\, and floral appliques—considers the 2010 “Tivoli Incursion”  in Kingston\, Jamaica. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era
DESCRIPTION:Pre-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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Area Brown Bag - Children’s Developing Theory of (the Technological) Mind
DESCRIPTION:Bio: \nKimberly Brink is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in Developmental Psychology. Her work investigates how children reason about the minds of others and\, in particular\, the minds of robots. Her dissertation explores how children’s beliefs about the minds of robots impacts their feelings toward and willingness to trust them. \n\nAbstract: \nChildren apply theory of mind to not only the minds of other people\, but are also now increasingly applying it to newly developing technologies. Computers\, smart phones\, artificially intelligent assistants\, and robots are all operating at the point where they now appear to have minds of their own. And every day they are increasingly interacting with children in homes\, schools\, hospitals\, and shopping malls. Here\, I will present the results of my dissertation investigating how a theory of mind for social robots can have important implications for children’s educational and social cognitive outcomes. This encompasses a series of studies examining children's feelings toward robots\, their attributions of mind to them\, and how those impact their willingness to trust and learn from robots.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2018 Pallas Lecture: Philhellenism and the Invention of American History
DESCRIPTION:What does the landing of the Mayflower in Plymouth have to do with the Battle of Marathon? When the Greek revolutionaries declared independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821\, to which American citizen did they first send their proclamation? How did the Greek War of Independence shape American identity on the eve of the United States' 50th anniversary celebration in 1826? This presentation will explore intersections between philhellenism and nationalism\, European and American identity\, and ancient and modern Greece in early republican America. It will argue that the era's patriot-orators drew heavily on Greece\, both ancient and modern\,as they drafted new--and enduring--blueprints of U.S. patriotism.\n\nJohanna Hanink holds a BA in Classics from the University of Michigan\, an MA in Latin from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and an MPhil and PhD in Classics from the University of Cambridge (Queens' College). She works primarily on theater and performance\, literary biography\, the cultural life and afterlife of classical Athens\, and the historical notion of an ancient \"Greek miracle.\"\nThe Classical Debt: Greek Antiquity in an Era of Austerity (Harvard University Press 2017) is her latest book\; it explores how Western fantasies of classical antiquity have created a particularly fraught relationship between the European West and the country of Greece\, especially in the context of Greece's recent \"tale of two crises.\" She is also author of Lycurgan Athens and the Making of Classical Tragedy (Cambridge University Press 2014) and co-editor\, with Richard Fletcher\, of the volume Creative Lives in Classical Antiquity: Poets\, Artists\, and Biography (Cambridge University Press 2016).\nShe is active in Brown's Program in Modern Greek Studies and is on the board of the Modern Greek Studies Association. She is also on the editorial boards of The Journal of Modern Greek Studies and Eidolon.

DESCRIPTION:Monday\, January 29\, 2018\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nColloquium\, 6th Floor\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nRegister: http://myumi.ch/6jrlV \n\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nWe live in a world of extraordinary pain and suffering. Public confidence in major corporations is at an all-time low. Why? Too many businesses exploit their people and harm their communities for short-term profit. If we are not consciously part of the healing\, we are probably part of the hurting. But it doesn't have to be this way. \n\nBusiness can become the primary agent for healing society. This is not about healing businesses\; it is about business as healing. Business can take wounded people\, broken communities\, and damaged ecosystems and make them whole again – and businesses that operate in this way will be more successful and profitable over time. In this session\, Sisodia will share stories of such businesses and extract lessons from them.\n\nAbout Sisodia:\nRaj Sisodia is the FW Olin Distinguished Professor of Global Business and Whole Foods Market Research Scholar in Conscious Capitalism at Babson College. He is also Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Conscious Capitalism Inc. \n\nHe has a PhD in Marketing from Columbia University. Raj has published ten books and over 100 academic articles. His books include Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business\, Firms of Endearment: How World Class Companies Profit from Passion and Purpose\, Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family\, and Shakti Leadership: Embracing the Feminine and Masculine Future of Business. He is on the Board of Directors at The Container Store\, and a trustee of Conscious Capitalism Inc.\n\nHost: \nJane Dutton\, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations\; Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Business Administration and Psychology\n\nSponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks Cascade Engineering\, Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies\, and Diane (BA ‘73) and Paul (MBA ‘75) Jones for their support of the 2017-18 Positive Links Speaker Series.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. The Matter of Black Lives: Hauntology\, Infrastructure\, and the Necropolitics of History in the American South
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I ask how scholars can deepen and expand\, but also trouble\, the field of hauntology. Originating in Derrida’s Spectres of Marx\, the field of hauntology analyzes how hauntings\, ghosts\, and specters are distinct conceptual categories characterizing liminal social states\, persons\, and subjectivities\, but also economic and political realities. I seek to ground (and critique) the field of hauntology empirically by analyzing how public infrastructure projects re/make race and history through both spectral and material practices. I draw on advocacy work in Charlottesville\, Virginia\, around preserving an ancestral cemetery threatened by a proposed federal transportation project to press a new argument on how the matter of Black lives plays out in contemporary American struggles for racial and environmental justice. The paper asks the following: Who or what specter has the capacity to “haunt\,” and at what moments? What are the relationships between hauntings and the suppression of historical memory in the aftermath of collective traumatic events? What roles do the presence or absence of material evidence of the subaltern past—the remains of the dead\, archival remnants\, archaeological\, and architectural artifacts\, and documentary evidence of their value—play in these processes of political recognition\, memory\, and forgetting? In other words\, what kinds of “necropolitics” (Mbembe 2003) govern the living and the dead\, and their denial or commemoration?

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Interested in Washington\, DC internships? Attend info session Monday January 29!
DESCRIPTION:College of Engineering students!  \n\nAre you interested in Science\, Technology\, and Engineering internships in Washington\, DC?  Want to expand your personal and professional network\, build additional skills and strengths\, and learn about how industry and government influence one another?  Apply for the Michigan in Washington semester program!  \n\nMichigan in Washington and Public Service Internship Program information session\nCollege of Engineering\nMonday\, January 29th\, 5-6pm\n265 Chrysler Center\nRSVP here: https://goo.gl/forms/CALrkIOkM6HHr3Gu2\n\nMiW has scholarships available!  Come learn about this excellent opportunity.  Open to domestic and international students\, of all class years.  See the attached document for potential internship opportunities.  \n\nThis information session will also include representatives from the Public Service Internship Program.  The University of Michigan Career Center's Public Service Intern Program (PSIP) prepares undergraduate students to obtain summer internships in Washington DC\, educates them to build career development skills\, and supports participants while living in our nation's capitol. This is the oldest and largest intern program in the country and just had a successful 48th summer in Washington\, DC.  \n\nQuotes from former College of Engineering participants in the MiW program:\n\"A lot of the progress in additive manufacturing has been the result of joint efforts between government\, industry\, and education. I identified this area as my top interest in my application for the White House Internship Program\; however\, I actually ended up being placed in an area more aligned with other interests I had also listed\, e.g.\, advocacy for women’s empowerment and STEM.\"\n\"I think MIW is very relevant – every career somehow either interacts with or is impacted by government... The breadth of topics that can be studied through the MIW program is very large – there really is something for everyone! The program can be personalized through one’s choice of internship\, classes\, and research project. And it’s worth noting that the classes frequently are taught by people who are experts in their respective fields.\"\nI hope to see you at the information session!\n\nSincerely\,\nRachel Armstrong\nAcademic Advisor\nCollege of Engineering Honors Program\nUniversity of Michigan\n251 Chrysler Center\n2121 Bonisteel Blvd.\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-2092\nPhone: (734) 647-7184 \nFax: (734) 764-8735

DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Phyllis Wan\, Department of Statistics\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Preferential attachment is an appealing mechanism for modeling power-law behavior of degree distributions in social networks.  In this talk\, we consider fitting a directed linear preferential attachment model to network data under three data scenarios: 1) When the full history of the network growth is given\, MLE of the parameter vector and its asymptotic properties are derived.  2) When only a single-time snapshot of the network is available\, an estimation method combining method of moments with an approximation to the likelihood is proposed.  3) When the data are believed to have come from a misspecified model or have been corrupted\, a semi-parametric approach to model heavy-tailed features of the degree distributions is presented\, using ideas from extreme value theory.  We illustrate these estimation procedures and explore the usage of this model through simulated and real data examples.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Prairie Mantras: Paint & Vinyl on Aluminum
DESCRIPTION:Desiree Warren’s current body of work is a journey using one shape (the orzo) to create a multitude of layers that evoke landscapes and organic assimilations. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:of 72
DESCRIPTION:Note: Ebony Patterson Stamps lecture takes place Feb 1\, 5pm\, at the Michigan Theater\, immediately followed at 6pm by artist reception at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\n“What happens when seventy-two men and one woman die and no one knows who they are?” Jamaican artist Ebony Patterson’s of 72—a mixed media work on fabric with digital imagery\, embroidery\, rhinestones\, trimmings\, bandanas\, and floral appliques—considers the 2010 “Tivoli Incursion”  in Kingston\, Jamaica. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era
DESCRIPTION:Pre-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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: K. Dane Wittrup
DESCRIPTION:C.P. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering and Biological Engineering\nAssociate Director\, Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\n\n\n“Bioengineering of synergistic innate and adaptive immunotherapy of cancer”\n\nHarnessing the immune system to attack cancer has started a revolution in oncology.  The ability of the adaptive immune system to track such evolving pathologies has provided robust responses and cures in 10-25% of previously intractable cancers such as metastatic melanoma.  The next frontier is to “raise the tail” of the survival curve in such cancers by finding synergistic combination therapies.  Chemical and biological engineers have pioneered approaches that are well suited to such investigations\, bringing quantitative problem-solving synthetic and analytical toolkits to bear.  I’ll provide examples from my lab where cocktails of anti-tumor antibodies and cytokines have accomplished highly safe and efficacious therapies as tested in mouse models of cancer.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | “Treating One’s Neighbor Like a Gully” 以鄰為壑: Yellow River Management and the Environmental Ethics of the Chinese State
DESCRIPTION:The ancient philosopher Mencius criticized the hydraulic specialist Bai Gui: “When dealing with floods . . . you\, my sir\, treat the neighboring state like a gully [by discharging water into it].” In this talk\, Professor Zhang argues that the ethical choice Mencius disdained as something “detested by benevolent men” has dominated environmental management – especially management of the Yellow River – by Chinese Confucian states during the past two millennia.\n\nLing Zhang is Associate Professor in the History Department at Boston College. Professor Zhang received a BA in Humanities and History from Peking University and an MPhil and a PhD in Chinese Studies from the University of Cambridge. She was a Ziff Environmental Fellow at Harvard University Center for the Environment and a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Agrarian Studies Program at Yale University. Her first book\, The River\, The Plain\, and The State: An Environmental Drama in Northern Song China\, 1048-1128 (Cambridge University Press\, 2016)\, received the 2017 George Perkins Marsh Prize for the Best Book in Environmental History from the American Society for Environmental History. She is currently working on two book projects about political economy in middle-period China and political ecology of the Yellow River valley.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Null models for cultural and social evolution
DESCRIPTION:Analogies between biological and cultural evolution date back to Darwin\, yet the analogies have remained loose. Neutral evolution\, known to be important in biology\, has been proposed as a null model for cultural change\, but has not been developed into tests for selection on cultural features. Using inference in time series of alternative word forms and grammatical constructions\, I demonstrate a cultural analog of natural selection on a background of neutral evolution.  Social evolution\, on the other hand\, implies selection in a social environment and therefore cannot be described with a neutral model.  I propose a model of pure frequency-dependent selection as a generic null model for social evolution\, and use inference under the model to illustrate diverse effects of social selection.  I show complex forms of frequency dependent selection---including positive and negative frequency-dependent selection at different frequencies---in the copying of baby names\, the fashions of dog breeds\, and the use of rare languages.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Mesoscale Theory and Modeling of Polymer-Based Nanocomposites
DESCRIPTION:Polymer-inorganic nanocomposites – materials in which inorganic nanoscale inclusions (“fillers”) are added to a polymer host (“matrix”) – are of great interest for many industrial applications. The physical and mechanical properties of nanocomposites depend crucially on our ability to design and control their morphology\, i.e.\, the arrangement of the particles in the matrix. The nanocomposite morphologies depend on a number of factors\, such as the size and shape of the fillers\, the molecular weight and composition of the matrix polymer\, and the interactions between the filler and the matrix. In most cases\, the interaction between the matrix and the filler is very unfavorable\, leading to aggregation of the filler particles and poor mechanical or physical properties. To counter this effect\, in recent years\, filler particles are being functionalized by oligomeric ligands covalently bonded to particle surfaces. These “hairy” nanoparticles can organize into complex soft-crystalline 3d\, 2d\, or 1d structures. We develop a mesoscale field theory (combination of Self-Consistent Field Theory for polymers and Density Functional Theory for particles) to describe the nanocomposite morphologies. Two specific examples are considered. In the first case\, we investigate the arrangements of organically modified (“hairy”) spherical nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix. Depending on the particle volume fraction\, ligand grafting density\, and ligand/matrix polymer molecular weight ratio\, we find structures such as 3d-aggregates\, 2d-sheets\, and 1d-strings. Those results are in a good qualitative agreement with earlier experiments (P. Akcora et al.\, Nature Materials 2009) and simulations. The second example is the case of single-component nanocomposites (“hairy” nanoparticles with no matrix). Here\, again\, we find various structures\, from 3d FCC crystals to 2d sheets to 1d lamellae. These predictions are also in good qualitative agreement with experimental results and particle-based simulations of Glotzer and co-workers (R. Marson et al.\, MRS Communications 2015). These findings demonstrate that field-based mesoscale simulations are going to play important role in designing new polymeric and polymer-based nanocomposite materials.\n\nI received my B.S. (Physics) and Ph. D. (Polymer Physics) from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (“FizTech”)\, Moscow\, Russia\, with Ph.D. thesis on “Modeling the Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Melting Polyethylene Crystals” (advisor Prof. Leonid I. Manevitch). After moving to the US in 1992\, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Colorado (1993-97\, advisor Prof. Noel A. Clark) and the University of Pittsburgh (1998-2000\, advisor Prof. Anna C. Balazs). In early 2001\, I joined Corporate R&D of The Dow Chemical Company in Midland\, Michigan\, where I am currently a Senior Research Scientist. My research interests are in applied theoretical and computational polymer science\, with specific emphasis on polymer-inorganic nanocomposites\, polyurethane foams and elastomers\, directed self-assembly of block copolymers\, and other applications of polymer theory to predict structure-property relationships in industrially relevant systems. I am a Fellow of American Physical Society (2014)\, and recipient of Dow internal award for Excellence in Science (2015). \n

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Wieseneck Symposium: US-Israel Relations in the Age of Trump
DESCRIPTION:Warren Bass\, Penguin Press\nMira Sucharov\, Carleton University\nMark Tessler\, University of Michigan\n\nFew foreign leaders have expressed as much admiration for President Trump as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “I have never heard a bolder or more courageous speech\,” Netanyahu gushed after President Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly. The U.S. President\, for his part\, has aligned U.S. foreign policy with Netanyahu’s wish list\, including opposition to the Iran deal and support for moving the American embassy to Jerusalem. This symposium brings three prominent scholars and commentators into discussion about how U.S.-Israel relations have changed since the inauguration of Donald Trump\, what the future of these relations may be\, and how different groups may be impacted.\n\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

His professional training includes practice experience at Dagmar Richter Studio\, Brantner Design Associates\, and Gehry Partners along with teaching experience at Barnard College\, Parsons School of Design\, Pratt Institute\, and Woodbury University. In addition\, he was a co-founder of the Transdisciplinary Media Studio and the Aggregate Architectural History Collaborative\, which focus on the ways that history and practice of architecture and urbanism are understood and taught. His ongoing research explores how architecture mediates power by forming civil society\, shaping social relationships\, and regulating consumption. In Crystal and Arabesque: Claude Bragdon\, Ornament\, and Modern Architecture (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2009) he reconstructed the techniques through which American modernist architects engaged new media\, audiences and problems of mass society. His work on topics ranging from ornament and organicism to risk management and sustainable design has appeared in many journals and essay collections\, including Aggregate's essay collection Governing by Design: Architecture\, Economy\, and Politics in the 20th Century (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2012).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ELI Winter Workshop Series: \"Speed Reading\" -- Handling a Heavy Reading Load
DESCRIPTION:Are you a graduate student with a virtually impossible reading load? You are not alone. While it is possible to read and understand text more quickly\, real reading efficiency comes from reading text more strategically. In this workshop\, we will learn about  strategies for prioritizing attention\, understanding and remembering what we read\, and aligning reading strategy with our purpose for reading (e.g. preparing for seminar discussion\, developing a literature review\, refining our research methods\, or writing a response paper). Bring a paper or electronic copy example of the kind of text you’re trying to read more efficiently.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CWPS Faculty Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Professor Partridge’s Filming Future Cities project uses film as a critical means to investigate urban futures and engage a broader public\, building on his ongoing collaborative film projects in Detroit and Berlin: “Filming the Future of Detroit\,’’ and “Filming the Future from Berlin: Noncitizen Perspectives\,’’ begun in 2014 (see filmingfuturecities.org). The point of the project is not only to teach refugees\, migrants\, youth\, and noncitizens the skills required for filmmaking\, ethnography\, and critical analysis of urban landscapes\, but also to teach them how to distribute their work to a broader audience and to participate in the planning for and imagination of their city’s future.  Using the project’s films as examples\, this talk will think through the efficacy of using film as a technique for shaping the future.\n\nThe Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students\, scholars\, and the community\, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.\n\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact Center for World Performance Studies\, at 734-936-2777\, at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ruth B.
DESCRIPTION:Canadian newcomer Ruth B. (Ruth Berhe) established herself as an authentic singer/songwriter of considerable promise and purpose in 2016\, and the music world responded with open arms. Most recently\, she received a coveted JUNO award in Canada for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and a BMI Pop Award for her viral hit “Lost Boy\,” which started it all. Her 12-song debut album\, \"Safe Haven\,\" has far surpassed first-album expectations\, with Rolling Stone declaring Ruth B. “one to watch.” Composing all of the album’s songs herself\, Ruth blazes with the same surefooted intensity as she did on “Lost Boy\,” but all the while transforming and growing right before our eyes.

DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS): Affirmative Intervention to Reduce Stereotype Threat Bias: Experimental Evidence from a Community College
DESCRIPTION:At all levels of education\, the racial achievement gap in performance between Black and Hispanic/Latino students and their White peers stubbornly persists. While the causes of this gap are numerous and interrelated\, one theory posits that students from underrepresented racial groups may face stereotype threat\, meaning that fear of failing and thereby fulfilling negative group stereotypes leads to anxiety and suboptimal cognitive performance. Though low-cost value affirmation interventions have been shown to reduce achievement gaps in some classroom settings\, these findings have not been consistently replicated. In this study\, we test the efficacy of this intervention among a new sample of students\, those enrolled in a community college in the Midwest. At the beginning of the fall 2016 semester\, students in English courses (N = 1\,115\, 59 course sections) were randomly assigned to short writing exercises that were either self-affirming or neutral. Using administrative data collected at the end of the term\, treatment and control students were compared on a range of outcomes that included course GPA\, overall GPA\, and course persistence. Overall\, we find little evidence of a positive effect of this one-time affirmation of social identity. Moderation analyses\, however\, show heterogeneous effects across course sections\, suggesting that the classroom setting may play a role in the interaction between social identity and student outcomes.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:of 72
DESCRIPTION:Note: Ebony Patterson Stamps lecture takes place Feb 1\, 5pm\, at the Michigan Theater\, immediately followed at 6pm by artist reception at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\n“What happens when seventy-two men and one woman die and no one knows who they are?” Jamaican artist Ebony Patterson’s of 72—a mixed media work on fabric with digital imagery\, embroidery\, rhinestones\, trimmings\, bandanas\, and floral appliques—considers the 2010 “Tivoli Incursion”  in Kingston\, Jamaica. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era
DESCRIPTION:Pre-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.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Visa Inc. Company Day
DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Company Day for Visa Inc. on Wednesday\, January 31\, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.\n\nImagine working for one of the pioneers in the payment technology space. The kind of company that's been setting the bar for the way people pay and get paid for more than 50 years\, and continues to innovate on a global scale. Now imagine that company is less than 10\,000 employees worldwide\, small enough that you'll actually have an impact and do some amazing things. Sounds pretty awesome. Well\, that company exists and it's Visa.\n\nYep\, Visa.\n\nImagine\, in a single day\, the diversity of transactions that Visa manages – from gaming enthusiasts who buy virtual goods to advance a level\, to a small business merchant launching their first ecommerce business to a large consumer brand hitting their largest single-day sale. Now multiply transactions and interactions like that by millions on a global scale – that's Visa. It is a multi-billion dollar market that has experienced year over year growth!\n\nBehind the next generation of digital payment innovation and global financial inclusion are the future leaders developed in the Visa Internship Program. Your intensive 10-12 week summer will challenge and inspire you through meaningful work\, executive exposure\, out of the box problem solving\, social events and community service.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  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.

DESCRIPTION:Suzy Lake was born and raised in Detroit. 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. In this exhibition\, Lake returns to her childhood neighborhood and various locations central to her family history to explore the cycles of urban development and decay in working class Detroit\, as well as her experience with ageism.\n\nExhibition Dates: January 19 - February 25\nHours: Open during exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday\, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm\; Thursday and Friday\, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminars | Astrophysical Signatures of Dark Matter Accumulation in Neutron Stars
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few decades\, terrestrial experiments have placed increasingly strong limits on the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross-section. However\, a significant portion of the standard dark matter parameter space remains beyond our reach. Due to their extreme density and huge gravitational fields\, neutron stars stand as optimal targets to probe dark matter-neutron interactions. As an example\, over the last few years\, the existence of Gyr-age neutron stars has placed strong limits on models of asymmetric dark matter. In this talk\, I will discuss novel methods which utilize neutron stars to potentially detect dark matter interactions by studying the galactic morphology of neutron stars\, as well as electromagnetic signals which may be produced via neutron star collapse. Intriguingly\, these observations can probe extremely generic dark matter models spanning from MeV - PeV energies\, and including troublesome portions of parameter space such as pure-Higgsino dark matter.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Dark Matter in the Universe
DESCRIPTION:\"What is the Universe made of?\" This question is the longest outstanding problem in all of modern physics\, and it is one of the most important research topics in cosmology and particle physics today. The bulk of the mass in the Universe is thought to consist of a new kind of dark matter particle\, and the hunt for its discovery in on. I'll start by discussing the evidence for the existence of dark matter in galaxies\, and then show how it fits into a big picture of the Universe containing 5% atoms\, 25% dark matter\, and 70% dark energy. Neutrinos only constitute ½% of the content of the Universe\, but much can be learned about neutrino properties from cosmological data.  Leading candidates for the dark matter are Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs)\, axions\, and sterile neutrinos. WIMPs are a generic class of particles that are electrically neutral and do not participate in strong interactions\, yet have weak-scale interactions with ordinary matter. There are multiple approaches to experimental searches for WIMPS: at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva\; in underground laboratory experiments\; with astrophysical searches for dark matter annihilation products\, and upcoming searches with the James Webb Space Telescope for Dark Stars\, early stars powered by WIMP annihilation.  Current results are puzzling and the hints of detection will be tested soon.  At the end of the talk I'll briefly turn to dark energy and its effect on the fate of the Universe.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Wealth as Pen and Death as Story in Medieval Korea
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation Juhn Ahn offers a brief description of how wealth shaped religion and death in medieval Korea. The presentation will try to show how the relationship between wealth and religion changed and how the postmortem space of Korean elite families was consequently flattened after the Mongol invasions in the thirteenth century.\n\nBy taking a closer look at the history of the relationship between religion and wealth in medieval Korea\, he hopes to challenge the widely accepted view that the Buddhist establishment in medieval Korea had grown so extravagant and corrupt that the state had to suppress it. When newly rising Korean elites (many with strong ties to the Mongols) used lavish donations to Buddhist institutions to enhance their status\, older elites defended their own adherence to this time-honored practice by arguing that their donations were linked to virtue. This emphasis on virtue and the consequent separation of religion from wealth facilitated the Confucianization of Korea and the relegation of Buddhism to the margins of public authority during the Chosŏn dynasty. \n    \nJuhn Ahn is assistant professor of Buddhist and Korean Studies at the University of Michigan. He is the author of Buddhas and Ancestors: Religion and Wealth in Fourteenth-Century Korea (University of Washington Press\, 2018).

DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear Richard Camp (Col. Ret.) recount his experience while serving in Vietnam during the 1968 TET Offensive. \n\n“The '68 TET offensive began with a barrage of artillery fire on the afternoon of 21 January. At that moment\, the far-off \"pop\" of incoming rounds sent me racing to a trench a few feet from my above ground bunker. Within minutes a stretcher party loped past carrying one of my Marines\, who had been struck by a piece of shrapnel. For the next three months my days were spent dodging artillery\, mortar and rocket rounds\, while preparing for an expected North Vietnamese assault.”\n\nDick Camp\, an active military historian\, is a retired Marine colonel\, having served as an officer for 26 years. He is the former director of operations for the National Museum of the Marine Corps\, former deputy director and director (acting) of the Marine Corps History Division\, and a prolific author of 14 books\, all of which are military-oriented.

DESCRIPTION:West Bloomfield Lecture Series: Jews and Judaism in Antiquity\n\nIn this lecture\, we will consider how we identity and define ‘Jewish’ art by looking at the problem from the perspective of the past. In particular\, we will explore the art from the catacombs of the Jewish community of Rome\, one of the largest and most prominent diaspora communities of its time. Visual artifacts such as the sarcophagi from the catacombs (dating from the 2nd to the 5th c. CE) shed light on the types of images and symbols used and viewed by ancient Jews.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:of 72
DESCRIPTION:Note: Ebony Patterson Stamps lecture takes place Feb 1\, 5pm\, at the Michigan Theater\, immediately followed at 6pm by artist reception at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\n“What happens when seventy-two men and one woman die and no one knows who they are?” Jamaican artist Ebony Patterson’s of 72—a mixed media work on fabric with digital imagery\, embroidery\, rhinestones\, trimmings\, bandanas\, and floral appliques—considers the 2010 “Tivoli Incursion”  in Kingston\, Jamaica. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era
DESCRIPTION:Pre-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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Suzy Lake
DESCRIPTION:Suzy Lake was born and raised in Detroit. 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. In this exhibition\, Lake returns to her childhood neighborhood and various locations central to her family history to explore the cycles of urban development and decay in working class Detroit\, as well as her experience with ageism.\n\nExhibition Dates: January 19 - February 25\nHours: Open during exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday\, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm\; Thursday and Friday\, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture Series | A History of Distant Reading in Japan
DESCRIPTION:In Japan\, the impulse to reason about literature quantitatively goes back at least to Natsume Sōseki’s Theory of Literature (1907). Recently\, computational techniques and digital corpora have taken this impulse further\, promising new ways of reading literary history. Before diving into this future\, however\, it is worth reflecting on its past. In this talk I trace a genealogy of quantitative imagining from Sōseki’s theories of reading\, to psycholinguistics and stylistic analysis from mid-century\, and up through recent applications of computational methods like machine learning. I consider why scholars have previously turned to numbers to reason about literature\, what they have gained from it\, and what it means to do so now. \n    \nHoyt Long is Associate Professor of Japanese Literature at the University of Chicago. His research interests include sociology of literature\, media history\, and cultural analytics. He co-directs the Textual Optics Lab and is currently working on a project that tells the history of modern Japanese literature through a quantitative lens.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Multiscalar Geoarchaeology
DESCRIPTION:Geoarchaeology is a part of archaeological research that is characterized by a markedly multiscalar approach. The acquisition of data ranges in fact from the observation of single mineral grains under a scanning electron microscope to the use of geological maps representing vast areas. Geoarchaeology is therefore carried out moving along a continuum of interconnected scales of observation. A series of practical examples will be employed to demonstrate the possibilities of this multiscalar approach.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Human Exploration from Earth to Mars: Envisioning Becoming Interplanetary
DESCRIPTION:Professor Dava Newman\nApollo Program Professor of Astronautics\nDept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics\nHarvard-MIT Health\, Sciences\, and Technology\nMIT\n\nRecent space science missions to Pluto and Jupiter along with earth observation missions of Spaceship earth will be highlighted.  Humanity will become interplanetary and is on a journey to Mars. We are closer to reaching the Red Planet with human explorers than we have ever been in our history. Space agencies\, academia and industry are working right now on the technologies and missions that will enable human “boots on Mars” in the 2030s. Advanced technologies for the next giant leaps of exploration include spacesuits and life support systems\, which will be highlighted. \n\nA three-stage plan from missions close to Earth involving commercial partners and the International Space Station\, advancing to missions in Earth–Moon orbit\, or deep space\, and finally moving on to Mars\, where explorers will be practically independent from spaceship Earth. The innovation required to achieve a human mission to Mars cuts across science\, human exploration\, and technology. It builds on what has gone before while driving the next advances. \n\nThe presentation concludes with an inclusive message on STEAMD (science-technology-engineering-arts-math-design) and the urgency to recruit the Mars Generation\, including the artists\, designers\, poets\, and makers.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Dava Newman is the Apollo Program Professor of Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Harvard–MIT Health\, Sciences\, and Technology faculty member. Her research in multidisciplinary aerospace biomedical engineering investigates human performance across the spectrum of gravity\, including space suits\, life support\, and astronaut performance. Newman has been the principal investigator on 4 spaceflight missions. Known for her second skin BioSuit™ planetary spacesuit\, her inventions are now being applied to “soft suits” to enhance locomotion on Earth. Newman is the author of Interactive Aerospace Engineering and Design\, has >300 publications\, and has supervised 90 graduate students and mentored >200 undergraduates. \n\nDr. Dava Newman served as NASA Deputy Administrator from 2015–2017\, nominated by President Obama and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Along with the NASA Administrator\, she was responsible for articulating the agency's vision\, providing leadership and policy direction\, and representing NASA to the White House\, Congress\, international space agencies\, and industry. Dr. Newman was the first female engineer and scientist to serve in this role and was awarded the NASA Distinguished Service Medal.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME 500 Seminar: Josh Dolhoff\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Joshua C. Doloff\, Ph.D.\nBME Faculty Candidate and Guest Speaker\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\n                                             \n    “Breaking down the immunobiology of implant fibrosis/foreign body response”\n \nAbstract:\n \nImplanted biomedical devices comprise a major component of modern medicine and are essential for many clinical applications ranging from tissue repair/reconstruction\, electrical pacing/stimulation\, controlled release\, glucose sensing\, and cell transplantation. However\, a huge impediment to their therapeutic performance and lifespan\, host immune-mediated foreign body response\, results in their being walled off behind dense layers of fibrotic scar tissue. The first part of my talk will focus on systems biology approaches\, including serial or combined innate and adaptive immune perturbations to elucidate immune-mediated rejection and fibrotic sequestration of biomaterial medical device implants. Identification of core innate and adaptive immune cell players will be discussed. Furthermore\, cytokine and cytokine receptor array analysis in conjunction with cell sorting\, antibody-based neutralization and small molecule inhibition will be presented in the context of identifying more selective targets in the fibrotic cascade. Throughout\, multiple tissue implant sites\, biomaterials\, multi-component devices\, and animal models\, including non-human primates and a newly developed humanized mouse model\, will also be presented. The last part of my talk will focus on leveraging this information toward the design of next generation technologies\, including implant architecture\, surface chemistries\, and long-term controlled release systems\, for successful elimination of rejection by modulating immune response.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED: EIHS Lecture: Private Parts and Public Concerns: Erecting the Modern Japanese Penis
DESCRIPTION:In Japan and other places\, modernity has given rise to what might be called a “penis industry”: a complex of urological knowledge\, business interests\, and advertising media that\, by instilling a fear in impressionable young males that their genitalia embody a shameful departure from the physical norm\, extracts money from their wallets to carry out one or another kind of treatment. This talk considers the emergence of the penis industry in early twentieth-century Japan\, focusing on the advertising strategies that its entrepreneurs developed in print to promote a distinctly modern form of psychological anxiety.\n\nGregory Pflugfelder is an associate professor of Japanese history in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and the Department of History at Columbia University. Professor Pflugfelder's current work engages the construction of masculinities\, the history of the body\, and representations of monstrosity. His books include JAPANimals: History and Culture in Japan's Animal Life\, coedited with Brett L. Walker (Michigan Monograph Series in Japanese Studies\, 2005)\; Cartographies of Desire: Male-Male Sexuality in Japanese Discourse\, 1600–1950 (University of California Press\, 1999) and Politics and the Kitchen: A History of the Women's Suffrage Movement in Akita Prefecture (in Japanese\; Domesu\, 1986). His latest writing projects are \"Growing Up with Godzilla: A Global History\" and \"Mobo: Playing the 'Modern Boy' in Interwar Japan and Its Empire.\" Professor Pflugfelder received his BA from Harvard (1981)\, his MA from Waseda (1984)\, and his PhD from Stanford (1996). He has been teaching at Columbia since 1996.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg with support from the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Demographic and evolutionary consequences of new gene flow into small populations
DESCRIPTION:Rapidly changing rates of gene flow pose urgent challenges for wild populations as well as exciting opportunities for ecological and evolutionary study. Predicting fitness effects of altered gene flow among contemporary populations is crucial because there is a large range of potential outcomes that can go so far as to determine the difference between extinction and persistence. I study wild and experimental populations of Trinidadian guppies as a model system for understanding the effects of new gene flow on adaptation\, fitness\, and demography. Previous work has documented genetic rescue\, an increase in population growth caused by the introduction of new alleles\, in wild populations. I will recap this work as well as discuss preliminary findings from experimental mesocosms that highlight the potential for gene flow to provide longterm benefits when populations are exposed to novel stress.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/-hj6XA9CCEw

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Kent Berridge's Distinguished University Professorship Lecture: Finding delight\, desire and dread in the brain.
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\nThis talk will describe a scientific journey studying brain mechanisms of pleasure ‘liking and ‘wanting’\, and other emotions. Though crucial for normal life\, ‘liking’ and ‘wanting’ processes can go awry in addiction and other disorders. Brain ‘wanting’ systems can grow independently powerful in addiction\, become suppressed in mood disorders\, and even have a darker side in some forms of paranoia. This journey follows in the footsteps of James Olds and other UM pioneers in brain mechanisms of reward and motivation.\n\n\nBIO\nKent Berridge is the James Olds Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience. His research aims for answers to questions such as: What causes addiction? How is pleasure generated by the brain? How is disgust generated? How does wanting something differ from liking it? What does fear share with desire?\n\n\nBerridge received a B.S. degree in 1979 from the University of California at Davis\, his M.A. in 1980 and Ph.D. in 1983 from the University of Pennsylvania\, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Dalhousie University for two years in Halifax\, Nova Scotia\, Canada. He joined the University of Michigan as Assistant Professor of Psychology in 1985. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow\, Fulbright Senior Fellow\, Fellow of AAAS\, APA\, and APS\, and co-winner of the Distinguished Scientific Contribution award of the American Psychological Association.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:On Miracles and Spacetime
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: I argue for the existence of two coincidences—or ‘miracles’—in the foundations of general relativity\, which do not admit of explanation from within that theory. I suggest that these ‘miracles’ may be accounted for naturally in one particular successor theory to general relativity\, namely perturbative string theory. I close by reflecting on the nature of spacetime in general relativity versus string theory.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ebony G. Patterson: They Were...
DESCRIPTION:In much of her work\, Jamaican artist Ebony G. Patterson explores the use of feminine gendered adornment in the construct of urban masculinity\, within the dancehall community and in popular culture. Patterson embellishes photographic tapestries by hand with beading\, sequins\, fabric\, and jewelry — the resulting works are visually seductive\, while revealing underlying questions about stereotyping\, visibility\, and race. Patterson’s solo exhibitions and projects have been shown internationally and in the U.S. Patterson serves on the Artistic Director’s Council for Prospect.4\, New Orleans (2017)\, and will present solo exhibitions at Perez Art Museum\, Miami\, and Monique Meloche Gallery\, Chicago\, in 2018. She has been featured in publications such as The New York Times\, Frieze\, Interview\, Vogue\, and the International Review of African American Art. In her solo exhibition Of 72\, on view at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery from January 11-February 9\, 2018\, Patterson remembers the violent 2010 Tivoli Incursion in Kingston\, Jamaica. An exhibition reception at the IH Gallery will follow this speaker series talk.\n\nThis Penny Stamps Speaker Series event is presented in partnership with the Institute for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:\"of 72\" Artist Reception with Ebony Patterson
DESCRIPTION:Join us after Ebony Patterson's Stamps lecture as we welcome the artist to the Institute for the Humanities. Patterson's \"of 72\" exhibition runs Jan 11-Feb 9. \n\n“What happens when seventy-two men and one woman die and no one knows who they are?” Jamaican artist Ebony Patterson’s \"of 72\"—a mixed media work on fabric with digital imagery\, embroidery\, rhinestones\, trimmings\, bandanas\, and floral appliques—considers the 2010 “Tivoli Incursion” in Kingston\, Jamaica. 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\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.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASC Film Screening and Q&A. Filming the Future of Detroit/Filming the Future from Berlin: African Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:These five 10-minutes films will show the ways in which Berlin and Detroit are global from the perspectives of African immigration\, and African imaginations of global futures. Berlin helps to elucidate what is distinctive about Detroit and vise versa. These films picture the distinctions between how African futures can be imagined in Europe versus the U.S.\, in Detroit versus Berlin. They reveal how race\, citizenship\, and humanitarian projects work in relation to African immigration in these two cities. They ask: What difference do the approaches to urban planning\, districting\, education\, and social versus capital networks make? What kinds of communities can be formed? How do “Africans’’ relate to “Blackness’’ versus “foreignness’’ in both cities? What difference does it make to live in the city when one is a noncitizen? \n    \n   Following the films showcase will be a Q&A with Damani Partridge\, the project lead\, and the filmmakers from Freedom House in Detroit: Ajara Hamidatu Alghali\, Hawlaane Noor Frances Sarr-Robbins\, Whitney Smith\, and Fatou-Seydi Singhiam Sarr. \n    \n   Reception to follow.

SUMMARY:Performance:SMTD@UMMA: Inexact Observations
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Seating is first come first served.\n\nCurator and artist Ellsworth Kelly's Suite of Plant Lithographs are\, according to the artist\, \"exact observations\" in which \"nothing is changed or added\,\" allowing the truth of each flower or leaf to make itself felt. But can an artist ever create a rendition that doesn't also include their unique perceptions? SMTD Piano Professor Logan Skelton and colleagues will present folk music arrangements by Bela Bartok and others to investigate this question through a musical lens. \n\nThe SMTD@UMMA performance series is generously supported by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund and the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes—Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund.\n\nMatisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. \n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. 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.\n\nFor more information and events\, visit umma.umich.edu/events.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rachael Yamagata
DESCRIPTION:Woodstock\, New York–based artist Rachael Yamagata is known for her soul-baring\, gut-punching songs of love lost\, perserverance\, and triumph. She excels at venues like The Ark as she embodies a living-room philosophy of performance that invites the audience closer in. Rachael's songs invoke a 1970s storytelling vibe with flavors of Carole King\, Rickie Lee Jones\, and Bonnie Raitt\, while modern comparisons often find her in line with past collaborators Ryan Adams and Ray LaMontaigne. Her shows are dynamic\, cathartic\, and often comedic\, and this Songs–Stories–Solo tour finds her at her intimate best.
