He quickly fell in love with freedom and flow of the dance and started intensive training. After roughly a year training locally in Knoxville\, TN\, he was brought on as an assistant instructor at ZoukEra dance company. To further his dance knowledge\, Brad spend the next four years traveling both the across the country and internationally to train with as many artists as possible\, something he still does today as he believes dance knowledge is never complete. In 2014\, Brad founded his own company\, Armada Zouk\, which now hosts weekly classes\, socials\, and choreography training in Knoxville and assists in weekly classes in Asheville. In addition to dance\, he has earned a PhD in biomedical engineering with a focus in biomechanics. This gives Brad a unique background in truly understanding how the body is designed to move and function\, providing many insights into the realm of dance. \n\nAfter completing the doctoral program\, he spent May and June of 2016 training in Sao Paulo in Rio De Janeiro with multiple instructors including Renata Peçanha\, the founder of zouk. After leaving Brazil\, he spent the next two months hosting an intensive 8 week\, 32 hour series in Kona\, Hawaii\, a city which he returns to frequently to help continue the growth of the local students. In November of 2017\, Brad completed a NeoZouk techniques instructor certification course with Marco (Mafie Zouker) Mendonça so that he can help grow both Rio Style Zouk and NeoZouk techniques throughout the country and internationally.

SUMMARY:Other:Regionals!
DESCRIPTION:In the spirit of Regionals\, camping\, a natty?\, a week at school with #noschool\, and staying #30strong\, here are some classic movie coach quotes to pump you TF up for regionals!\"Great moments are born from great opportunity\, and that's what you have here tonight\, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game\; if we played them ten times\, they might win nine. But not this game\, not tonight. Tonight\, we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them\, and we shut them down because we can. Tonight\, we are the greatest LAX team in the world. \"- Miracle (Alexa the bar mitzvah boy)\"If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential\, to be the best that you can be\, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game\, in my book we're gonna be winners.\"- unclear\"We're gonna go inside\, we're gonna go outside\, inside and outside. We're gonna get 'em on the run boys and once we get 'em on the run we're gonna keep 'em on the run. And then we're gonna go go go go go go and we're not gonna stop til we get across that goal line! \"- Rudy\"Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship with yourself\, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasn't one more thing you could have done. Can you live in that moment as best you can\, with clear eyes\, and love in your heart\, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman\, you're perfect!\"- unclear

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 On Blue: Photographic Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64\, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water\; languid clouds drifting in azure skies\; mood indigo\; cobalt glass\; cerulean blue eyes\; sapphire cornflowers\; poignant music\, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature\, yet found in the largest things such as sea\, lake and sky\, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires\, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Timeless Instants: Still Life Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:In 1922 the University of Michigan acquired the library of Henry Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, whose extensive personal library included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications. Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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: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:Performance:Rodney Crowell
DESCRIPTION:Rodney Crowell is one of country music's most successful songwriters\, but the deadly seriousness in his music was always there for those with ears to hear. \"Dad drove a stock car to an early death/All I remember was a drunk man's breath\,\" sang Waylon Jennings as he took Crowell's \"Ain't Living Long Like This\" to the top of the charts. Since the turn of the millennium\, Crowell has been on a roll\, releasing personal\, ambitious albums to wide critical acclaim. With his autobiographical masterpiece \"The Houston Kid\,\" he took an unflinching look at his own down-and-out upbringing\, and he comes to The Ark with a new album\, \"Close Ties\,\" that flows from the same sources and has been nominated for an Americana Music Association Album of the Year award.

He quickly fell in love with freedom and flow of the dance and started intensive training. After roughly a year training locally in Knoxville\, TN\, he was brought on as an assistant instructor at ZoukEra dance company. To further his dance knowledge\, Brad spend the next four years traveling both the across the country and internationally to train with as many artists as possible\, something he still does today as he believes dance knowledge is never complete. In 2014\, Brad founded his own company\, Armada Zouk\, which now hosts weekly classes\, socials\, and choreography training in Knoxville and assists in weekly classes in Asheville. In addition to dance\, he has earned a PhD in biomedical engineering with a focus in biomechanics. This gives Brad a unique background in truly understanding how the body is designed to move and function\, providing many insights into the realm of dance. \n\nAfter completing the doctoral program\, he spent May and June of 2016 training in Sao Paulo in Rio De Janeiro with multiple instructors including Renata Peçanha\, the founder of zouk. After leaving Brazil\, he spent the next two months hosting an intensive 8 week\, 32 hour series in Kona\, Hawaii\, a city which he returns to frequently to help continue the growth of the local students. In November of 2017\, Brad completed a NeoZouk techniques instructor certification course with Marco (Mafie Zouker) Mendonça so that he can help grow both Rio Style Zouk and NeoZouk techniques throughout the country and internationally.

SUMMARY:Other:Regionals!
DESCRIPTION:In the spirit of Regionals\, camping\, a natty?\, a week at school with #noschool\, and staying #30strong\, here are some classic movie coach quotes to pump you TF up for regionals!\"Great moments are born from great opportunity\, and that's what you have here tonight\, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game\; if we played them ten times\, they might win nine. But not this game\, not tonight. Tonight\, we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them\, and we shut them down because we can. Tonight\, we are the greatest LAX team in the world. \"- Miracle (Alexa the bar mitzvah boy)\"If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential\, to be the best that you can be\, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game\, in my book we're gonna be winners.\"- unclear\"We're gonna go inside\, we're gonna go outside\, inside and outside. We're gonna get 'em on the run boys and once we get 'em on the run we're gonna keep 'em on the run. And then we're gonna go go go go go go and we're not gonna stop til we get across that goal line! \"- Rudy\"Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship with yourself\, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasn't one more thing you could have done. Can you live in that moment as best you can\, with clear eyes\, and love in your heart\, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman\, you're perfect!\"- unclear

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 Beauty Meets My Mess: Mixed Media Collage
DESCRIPTION:Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Timeless Instants: Still Life Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:In 1922 the University of Michigan acquired the library of Henry Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, whose extensive personal library included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications. Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstract Ancestry: Machine-Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Geometric Inference in Bayesian Hierarchical Models with Applications to Topic Modeling
DESCRIPTION:Unstructured data is available in abundance with the rapidly growing size of digital information. Labeling such data is expensive and impractical\, making unsupervised learning an increasingly important field. Big data collections often have rich latent structure that statistical modeler is challenged to uncover. Bayesian hierarchical modeling is a particularly suitable approach for complex latent patterns. Graphical model formalism has been prominent in developing various procedures for inference in Bayesian models\, however the corresponding computational limits often fall behind the demands of the modern data sizes. In this thesis we develop new approaches for scalable approximate Bayesian inference. In particular\, our approaches are driven by the analysis of latent geometric structures induced by the models. \n	Our specific contributions include the following. We develop full geometric recipe of the Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic model. Next\, we study several approaches for exploiting the latent geometry to first arrive at a fast weighted clustering procedure augmented with geometric corrections for topic inference\, and then a nonparametric approach based on the analysis of the concentration of mass and angular geometry of the topic simplex\, a convex polytope constructed by taking the convex hull of vertices representing the latent topics. Estimates produced by our methods are shown to be statistically consistent under some conditions. Finally\, we develop a series of models for temporal dynamics of the latent geometric structures where inference can be performed in online and distributed fashion. All our algorithms are evaluated with extensive experiments on simulated and real datasets\, culminating at a method several orders of magnitude faster than existing state-ofthe-art topic modeling approaches\, as demonstrated by experiments working with several million documents in a dozen minutes.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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:CSAAW presents \"Smoking and depression co-morbidity: modeling prevalence\, disparities\, and intervention\"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nSmoking and mental illness are leading contributors to mortality and morbidity in the U.S. They are also significantly associated with each other\, with substantially higher rates of smoking among people with mental illness compared to the general population. Depression in particular is a commonly occurring mental disorder. Research shows that comorbidity of smoking and depression are subject to feedback effects\, as depression is known to predict future smoking\, while smoking also predicts future depression. To date\, there has been little evidence on the health gains associated with interrupting this dynamic through interventions that target patients with depression. If implemented\, cessation treatment for smokers with depression could lead to even greater improvements to population health. However the population benefit of integrating cessation treatment into mental health care has not yet been estimated. I develop the first joint model of smoking and depression co-morbidity in the US\, projecting future patterns of smoking and depression through 2050.This model can analyze the independent and synergistic effects of intervention strategies on smoking\, depression\, and mortality outcomes.

In this talk\, I will describe our work on children’s acquisition of fractions as a case study in educational neuroscience. I will argue for a cognitive primitives account of fractions learning that integrates previously disparate findings from multiple disciplines. We propose that fractions knowledge builds on a “ratio processing system” (RPS) that allows us to perceive non-symbolic ratios—such as the relative length of two lines—even prior to formal fractions instruction. I will describe recent results from our cross-sequential study of children’s acquisition of fractions. We are longitudinally tracking two cohorts of children: 2nd graders (minimal fractions instruction)\, and 5th graders (extensive fractions instruction) for four years using a combination of standardized assessments\, cognitive measures and brain imaging. We have previously shown that adults’ non-symbolic RPS sensitivity correlates with formal math skills\, and find similar patterns in 5th\, but not 2nd graders. We have also shown that children as young as 2nd grade can accurately compare fractions and nonsymbolic ratios\, providing behavioral evidence for the RPS as young as age 8. In adults\, this same task leads to increased activation in shared regions of parietal cortex for symbolic fractions and nonsymbolic ratios. In 2nd graders\, consistent with the RPS account\, neural specialization is limited to non-symbolic ratios\, while in 5th graders\, emerging specializations for symbolic fractions partially overlap with non-symbolic RPS processing. These results demonstrate the value of a cross-disciplinary approach rather than focusing on one discipline in isolation. For example\, our results suggest that fractions instruction should attempt to more directly tap into nonsymbolic ratio understanding\, and screening for math learning difficulties should include RPS measures.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Linguistics and preferences: Does language effect exponential discounting\, present-bias\, or both?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nAccording to the linguistic-savings hypothesis (Chen\, 2013)\, languages that grammatically associate the future and the present foster future-oriented behavior in terms of savings and other economic outcomes. Our study investigates this hypothesis between French and German speaking pupils in a bilingual region of Switzerland\, explicitly differentiating between the impact of language on exponential discounting and present bias. We find that French speakers are significantly more impatient than German speakers in the short run. In the long run\, however\, differences are less pronounced. Our evidence therefore suggests that language affects the degree of hyperbolic discounting and leads to less future oriented behavior mostly through increasing present-biasedness.

SUMMARY:Other:Bridging Molecular and Heterogeneous Electrocatalysis Through Graphite Conjugation
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                The efficient interconversion of electrical and chemical energy requires catalysts capable of accelerating complex multi-electron reactions at electrified interfaces. These reactions can be carried out at the metallic surface sites of heterogeneous electrocatalysts or via redox mediation at molecular electrocatalysts. Molecular catalysts yield readily to synthetic alteration of their redox properties and secondary coordination sphere\, permitting systematic tuning of their activity and selectivity. Similar control is difficult to achieve with heterogeneous electrocatalysts because they typically exhibit a distribution of active site geometries and local electronic structures\, which are recalcitrant to molecular-level synthetic modification. However\, metallic heterogeneous electrocatalysts benefit from a continuum of electronic states which distribute the redox burden of a multi-electron transformation\, enabling more efficient catalysis. We have developed a simple synthetic strategy for conjugating well-defined molecular catalyst active sites with the extended states of graphitic solids. Electrochemical and spectroscopic data indicate that these graphite-conjugated catalysts do not behave like their molecular analogs\, but rather as metallic active sites with molecular definition\, providing a unique bridge between the traditionally disparate fields of molecular and heterogeneous electrocatalysis.\n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nYogesh Surendranath (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Photon Search in Positron Annihilation at Cornell  
DESCRIPTION:Dark matter remains a tantalizing puzzle for particle physics and cosmology\, with profound implications for understanding the essential nature and evolution of our universe. Its average mass density in the universe is known with considerable and ever-improving precision\, yet extensive searches based on conventional explanations such as weakly interacting massive particles continue to yield null results. Newer alternative theories raise the possibility of low mass dark matter\, and in so doing open the possibility for discovery in unexplored parameter space\, using low-energy\, high-intensity experiments. The so-called “dark photon” is a plausible candidate\, capable of being produced in electromagnetic interactions such as electron-positron annihilation. \n\nWe have proposed the design and construction of a 6 GeV positron beam for fixed target experiments. It will become the highest intensity source of high energy positrons anywhere in the world\, providing a unique tool for research in particle- and nuclear-physics. Beam characteristics are optimized for dark matter search experiments that require positrons with high total beam delivery and limited instantaneous beam current. The facility will build on the capabilities of the existing synchrotron injector at Cornell University\, augmenting it with beam instrumentation to enable a slow spill of positrons by a resonant extraction mechanism. \n\nI will describe the dynamics of slow extraction of a high energy positron beam from the Cornell synchrotron\, and the experiment to search for a dark photon in electron-positron annihilation.      \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Series | The 47 Ronin Part 1 & 2
DESCRIPTION:Part of the “Enter the Samurai” Film Series sponsored by U-M Center for Japanese Studies.\n\nProduced over a two-year period\, Kenji Mizoguchi’s version of the oft-filmed Seika Mayama story The 47 Ronin was too big to be confined to a single film. Thus\, it was released in two parts\, each running between 105 and 115 minutes. The story begins in feudal Japan in December of 1701\, when warrior leader Lord Asano is tricked into committing Hara-Kiri. Oishi\, Asano’s loyal clansman\, holds the wicked Lord Kira responsible. 14 months after Arano’s death\, Oishi assembles 47 loyal Ronin (samurai) to exact vengeance. Director Mizoguchi abandoned his usual fascination with modern-day social problems in favor of epic patriotism (remember\, the film was made while Japan was still winning World War II.\n\nPresented in Japanese with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Beauty Meets My Mess: Mixed Media Collage
DESCRIPTION:Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:In 1922 the University of Michigan acquired the library of Henry Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, whose extensive personal library included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstract Ancestry: Machine-Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Meaning and Power of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Dreams are typically important unconscious messages\, bringing issues from the past and the present. They often contain direct or disguised wishes and/or fears. In this class we will discuss typical dreams: the recurring dream\; the remembered dream of the past\; the “I’m not prepared” dream (e.g. taking the final exam\, but haven’t read the text).\n\nThe instructor will discuss dreams of some patients and invite class members (including himself) to bring their own. The goal is to help make better sense of these nightly messages\, pointing out some of the playful and significant insights brought to light. Mr. Chethik is an Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry at the UM.\n\nThis Study Group is for those over 50\, and will meet on Tuesdays from April 17- May 22. There will be no class on May 8.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure
DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

SUMMARY:Other:BME Master's Thesis Defense - Ann Gu
DESCRIPTION:Multi-Label Classification of Motor Tasks using fMRI Data\n\nWithin the past decade\, predicting brain states by applying classification-based multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data has become popular. In traditional classification-based MVPA\, each class or label is modeled as having a unique spatial brain activity. Multi-Label classification is an emerging machine learning paradigm that can detect multiple classes\, that are not necessarily mutually exclusive\, in a single instance.\n\nFor this study\, we extend a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm\, a popular MVPA approach\, to a multi-label algorithm that can detect both left and right hand tapping tasks simultaneously. Participants performed four tasks in a blocked experiment design: rest\, right hand tapping\, left hand tapping\, and both hands tapping. We compare two training models with our multi-label data. One considers both hands tapping as a new class. The other considers both hands tapping as a positive instance of right and left hand tapping. Furthermore\, we investigate the effects of SVM parameters on our algorithm’s performance. Our results demonstrates the feasibility of using a multi-label paradigm for motor task fMRI data. We discuss the capabilities and limitations of our approach and the potential to generalize to other fMRI task-based applications. \n\nChair: Scott Peltier

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Illuminated Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:Books of hours—custom-made for private devotion in the Christian faith—were a bestseller in medieval Europe. These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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:LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | The Mirage of Development: The Sichuan Earthquake\, One Decade Later
DESCRIPTION:In today’s talk\, Professor Sorace argues that the Communist Party is discursively path dependent on specific narratives of legitimation\, which constrain its ability to govern and be responsive to people’s needs. In particular\, he will discuss the post-2008 Sichuan earthquake reconstruction of Yingxiu township\, which was reconstructed to perform the Party’s benevolence\, with scant consideration for its impact on the lives of local residents.\n\nChristian Sorace is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Colorado College and a former postdoctoral fellow at the Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) at the Australian National University. He is the author of \"Shaken Authority: China’s Communist Party and the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake\" published in May 2017 with Cornell University Press. His articles have appeared in \"Critical Inquiry\,\" \"Comparative Politics\,\" \"The China Journal\,\" and \"The China Quarterly\" among other journals. He is also the editor of the Arts and Culture section of a new open-access quarterly journal called \"Made in China.\" His new research focuses on comparative urbanization and land-rights in Ulaanbaatar\, Mongolia and Inner Mongolia\, China.

SUMMARY:Other:BME Master's Thesis Defense - Catherine Long
DESCRIPTION:Engineering an immune-isolating hydrogel for in vitro cancer cell containment to prevent the reintroduction of cancer cells following ovarian tissue autotransplantation\n\nAbstract:\nThe sterilizing effects of chemotherapy on childhood cancer patients complicate treatment pathways and propagate far into adulthood\, yet fertility preservation options exist only for adults. With a specific focus on prepubertal girls\, there is only one option to preserve fertility and ovarian endocrine function after cancer treatment: ovarian tissue cryopreservation prior to treatment followed by autotransplantation when the patient is disease free and is ready to undergo puberty or have children. Unfortunately\, ovarian tissue in patients with blood borne cancers\, such as leukemia\, may carry cancer cells and present risks of cancer cell transfer. In response\, we have developed a hydrogel-based immune-isolating capsule that protects an allogeneic encapsulated ovarian tissue from immune cells\, allows diffusion of nutrients\, and promotes tissue survival and function. In this study\, we investigated whether the immune-isolating autograft-compatible capsule can prevent cancer cells present with the encapsulated ovarian tissue from escaping the capsule and invading the host tissues\, possibly causing cancer relapse. The tested conditions included two levels of encapsulated cancer cells in designs that varied hydrogel shell thickness\, core composition strength\, and multi-layered construction. These hydrogels were imaged to monitor cancer cell growth and migration through the capsule\, and tests for cell viability were conducted to confirm sufficient diffusivity of each design. Additionally\, follicle growth expansion with co-encapsulated cancer cells was measured to demonstrate functionality of the device as a suitable environment for tissue survival. By adding an extra layer to the outside of the original hydrogel\, the double shelled design was found to be successful in containing cancer cells for up to 34 days without compromising the influx of nutrients necessary for survival. With finding a hydrogel design that successfully retains cancerous cells and facilitates follicle growth\, the prospect of utilizing immune-isolating hydrogels as a fertility preservation option for childhood cancer survivors is increasingly promising. \n\nChair: Ariella Shikanov

SUMMARY:Other:BME Master's Thesis Defense - Leora Goldbloomhelzner
DESCRIPTION:Department of Biomedical Engineering Master's Thesis Defense\n\nLeora Goldbloomhelzner\n\nTitle: Studying the Interplay between BMPR1a-Mediated Signaling and the Stiffness of the Neural Crest Cell Microenvironment during Chondrogenesis\n \nExtensive research has been conducted to understand the role of the stem cell microenvironment\, including growth factors and extracellular matrix composition and stiffness\, in mediating chondrogenesis during development of the appendicular skeleton\, but much is still unknown about the interplay of these factors during chondrogenic differentiation of neural crest cells (NCC) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Over 30 million US adults suffer from osteoarthritis and for those whose condition is localized in the TMJ\, tissue engineering studies and treatment are limited. With a better understanding of the crosstalk between cell microenvironment and BMP signaling\, design of cartilage regeneration strategies for injured/diseased craniofacial joints can be improved. To investigate this interaction\, we studied the chondrogenesis of NCCs with constitutively active BMPR1a receptors in a novel biosynthetic stem cell niche with tunable stiffness and pre-chondrocyte ECM ligand presentation. To reveal how a controlled variation of the microenvironment affects BMP-mediated chondrogenesis\, we encapsulated NCCs in 7kPa and 30kPa PEG hydrogels to determine the effect of microenvironmental stiffness chondrogenesis of NCCs mediated by the BMPR1a receptor.\n \nChair: Rhima Coleman\, Ph.D.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ORIENTATIONS: On Empire\, Settler Colonialism\, and Occupation - Rachel Lee
DESCRIPTION:On 4.17.18 CEA/PIAS will host our final speaker of the event series. A graduate student workshop with Prof. Lee will occur from 11:30-1p\, in Haven Hall 3773 (RSVP with Peggy at lepeggy@umich.edu). The public lecture will be held from 4-5:30 pm in Haven Hall 3512. \n \nRachel Lee is the Director of the Center for the Study of Women and Professor of English\, Gender Studies\, and the Institute of Society and Genetics at UCLA. She is the author of The Exquisite Corpse of Asian America: Biopolitics\, Biosociality and Posthuman Ecologies (2014) winner of the Best Book in Culture Studies Award from the Association of Asian American Studies. Her scholarship draws on critical methods from race/ethnic studies in conjunction with theories of gender and sexuality\, to examine the specific interfaces and choreographies of stand-up comedy\, dance\, new media/digital technology\, and literature\, most recently as they reflect on the life sciences.\n \nLecture Description:\nThe signature style of Korean-born\, NY based artist Anicka Yi—winner of the 2016-17 Hugo Boss Award—involves repurposing materials associated with feminine domesticity--cooking paraphilia\, edible ingredients\, bath and vanity products—and coassembling them alongside industrial polymers\, fiberboard\, and metallic components. She has gained some notoriety as a smell portraitist due to her collaborations with perfumers and her incorporation into her work of molds and bacteria often sourced specifically from women’s mouths\, armpits and vaginas. In this lecture\, Dr. Rachel Lee attends to the anti-colonial critique threaded through key pieces of her oeuvre.\n \n*Please refrain from wearing perfumes and scented body products to our events—share the air! Do let us know if you have any accessibility requests or questions.

SUMMARY:Other:Single protein dynamics at soft interfaces: Can physical chemistry solve a $100\,000\,000\,000 problem?
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                Understanding nanoscale protein dynamics at interfaces is crucial for topics ranging from disease inception and drug delivery to separations science. Recent efforts by our group and others have shown the promise of applying single molecule methods to link mechanistic detail about protein adsorptions to macroscale observables. When we study one molecule at a time\, we eliminate ensemble averaging\, thereby accessing any underlying complexity. However\, we must develop new methods to increase information content in the resulting low density and low signal-to-noise data and to improve space and time resolution. \n\nI will highlight recent advances in super-resolution microscopy for quantifying the physics and chemistry that occur between target proteins and stationary phase supports during chromatographic separations. My discussion will concentrate on the newfound ability of super-resolved single protein spectroscopy to inform theoretical parameters via quantification of adsorption-desorption dynamics\, protein unfolding\, and nano-confined transport.   \n                                                                                                                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nChristy Landes (Rice University)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CWPS Lecture Series: Bill Bruford
DESCRIPTION:Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer Bill Bruford spent a working life as an internationally-known musician and teacher before stepping out of practice to investigate aspects of creativity in popular music performance. His musical character was forged in the fiery furnace of four of the biggest progressive rock groups of the 1970s\, including Yes\, King Crimson\, Genesis\, and UK. As a musician\, he was innovative in the use of advanced harmony\, electronics and odd meters in progressive rock and electric jazz. Following retirement from public performance in 2009\, Bruford authored an autobiography and received a PhD in musicology from the University of Surrey. This talk will focus on his latest book Uncharted: Creativity and the Expert Drummer\, recently published by University of Michigan Press. \n\nFree and open to the public. For more information\, email cwps.information@umich.edu. \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.

We were originally a sketch comedy group\, but in the 1990s\, we brought Andy Dick on campus to do standup and he made everyone very angry\; we lost all of our funding and transitioned out of necessity to pure improv. We thank Mr Dick very much for this\, he made us what we are. Our final show of the year is April 17th at 8pm in the Lydia Mendelssohn theater. We hope to see you all there!

DESCRIPTION:Oriol Sans\, conductor\n\nPre-concert lecture at 7:15PM in the lower lobby\n\nThe University Philharmonia Orchestra will conclude the year with an exhibition of Spanish flair: Manuel de Falla’s first suite from Three Cornered Hat\, a comic ballet premiered in London in 1919 with set designs by Pablo Picasso\, and Maurice Ravel’s Rapsodie Espagnole\, an orchestral work that exudes in every turn the composer’s quasi-hedonistic attraction for Spain. The concert will begin with Cesar Franck's Symphony in D\, his pinnacle orchestral achievement. Tragically\, its masterful combination of French and German musical styles at the outset of the Franco-Prussian war lead to its unjust exclusion from the canon.\n\nPROGRAM: Franck- Symphony in D\; Falla- Suite no. 1 from Three Cornered Hat\; Ravel- Rapsodie Espagnole

Our aim is to improve the education\, and well-being in the underserved and politically underrepresented communities of Quito in addition to raising discussions and awareness of the Ecuadorian culture and society at the University of Michigan and beyond. Our students come from low resource backgrounds and due to their financially destitute situations\, we provide our students with two meals a day\, hygienic supplies\, and school supplies to help give them the tools they need to succeed through education\, encourage our students to continue onto higher education\, and provide them with some of the basic necessities every human being should have access to.  We are trying to collect school supplies In order to allow our tutors to continue creating fun and engaging lesson plans and to give our students the best experience possible. We are looking for any school supplies that you may have left over from the school year or if would be willing to donate any new supplies as well. Some suggested supplies to donate include: construction paper\, pencils\, markers\, colored pencils\, crayons\, glue\, lined paper\, scissors\, books (ages 4-14)\, rulers\, folders\, pencil sharpeners\, erasers\, coloring books\, highlighters etc.  But please keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list and all donations are welcome and appreciated!  The dates of the drive are from April 2nd-April 26th. Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:Bert's Cafe Entrance of UGLiNorth Lobby\, Hatcher1816 East Quad1500 North QuadSuite 500\, Weiser Hall1122 Lane Hall4108 MLBGinsberg Center If you are unable to make a donation please still let all of your professors and fellow students know about this drive to help spread the word!

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 Beauty Meets My Mess: Mixed Media Collage
DESCRIPTION:Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents On Blue: Photographic Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Loosely based on the concept of the early 20th century group f64\, the f8collective is composed of female contemporary Chicago photographers who all happen to have strong family ties to Michigan. The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water\; languid clouds drifting in azure skies\; mood indigo\; cobalt glass\; cerulean blue eyes\; sapphire cornflowers\; poignant music\, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature\, yet found in the largest things such as sea\, lake and sky\, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires\, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Timeless Instants: Still Life Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:In 1922 the University of Michigan acquired the library of Henry Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, whose extensive personal library included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications. Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstract Ancestry: Machine-Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Illuminated Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:Books of hours—custom-made for private devotion in the Christian faith—were a bestseller in medieval Europe. These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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:AE Defense: Design Optimization of Flexible Aircraft Wings Using Tow-Steered Composites
DESCRIPTION:Design Optimization of Flexible Aircraft Wings Using Tow-Steered Composites  \nAerospace Engineering PhD Candidate: Tim Brooks\, Dissertation Chair: Professor Joaquim Martins\n\nAutomatic fiber placement machines have made it viable to manufacture composites where fiber angles vary spatially throughout each layer of the laminate---tow-steered composites. This additional design freedom provided by tow-steered composites have the potential to increase their structural performance relative to their conventional uniaxial fiber counterparts. One area of interest for application of these composites is in the design of flexible wing structures.\n\nHigh-fidelity aerostructural solvers have been proven effective for accurately capturing the trade-offs between relevant design disciplines for such aircraft. By complementing these solvers with gradient-based numerical optimization\, the maximum benefits offered by tow-steered structures can be quantified.\n\nIn this thesis\, several optimization studies are conducted to compare the performance of conventional and tow-steered composite wings. When minimizing the fuel burn of a Boeing-777-type aircraft\, tow steering is found to offer up to 2.3% in fuel savings relative to an optimized conventional composite wing. The trade-off between structural weight and fuel burn performance is then explored through a Pareto front study. In this study\, it is found that when wing planform is free to vary\, tow-steering offers improvements of up to 1.5% and 1.6% in aircraft fuel burn and structural weight\, respectively\, depending on the design objective.\n\n\nDissertation Committee Names:\nChair: Prof.  Joaquim R.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Wood Brothers
DESCRIPTION:** Sold Out**\n\nFittingly titled \"One Drop of Truth\,\" the latest entry in the Wood Brothers' evolution finds three musicians being true to themselves. At a point in their career where most artists would be looking to strategically position themselves for even greater commercial success\, they instead turned to artistic expression in service of the muse. In chaotic times when honesty is in short supply and ulterior motives seem to always be at play\, The Wood Brothers put faith in themselves and ultimately their audience by writing and recording a collection of songs that is honest and pure. As they sing on the album’s title track: \"Rather die hungry / than feasting on lies / Give me one drop of truth / I cannot deny.\" It’s the freest album we’ve done\, the most independent album we’ve done\, and was the most fun we’ve ever had making a record\,\" says brother Oliver Wood. Indeed the album dives headfirst into a deep wellspring of sounds\, styles and influences. Whereas their previous outings have often followed a conceptual and sonic through-line\, here the long-standing trio featuring brothers Oliver and Chris Wood along with Jano Rix treat each song as if it were its own short film. The plaintive\, country-folk of the album’s opening track “River Takes The Town” gives way to the The Band-esque Americana soul of “Happiness Jones.” The wistful ballad “Strange As It Seems” floats on a cloud of stream of consciousness\, standing in stark contrast to “Sky High”—a Saturday night barnburner built upon stinging slide guitar funk. “Seasick Emotions” is rife with turmoil\, yet “Sparking Wine” is jaunty and carefree. The end result is undeniably The Wood Brothers’ most dynamic recording to date.

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 Beauty Meets My Mess: Mixed Media Collage
DESCRIPTION:Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water\; languid clouds drifting in azure skies\; mood indigo\; cobalt glass\; cerulean blue eyes\; sapphire cornflowers\; poignant music\, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature\, yet found in the largest things such as sea\, lake and sky\, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires\, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Timeless Instants: Still Life Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:In 1922 the University of Michigan acquired the library of Henry Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, whose extensive personal library included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications. Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Seven Fantasy Classics for Children
DESCRIPTION:Students in Lisa Makman’s English 313 course\, Children’s Literature and the Invention of Modern Childhood\, curated this exhibit of classic stories for children. The exhibit focuses on seven classic stories: Aladdin\, Alice in Wonderland\, Cinderella\, Hansel and Gretel\, the Little Mermaid\, Little Red Riding Hood\, and Peter Pan. Drawing on the rich collection of children’s literature in the Special Collections Research Center\, the books range from late nineteenth century editions to contemporary pop-up books. By showcasing different takes on each story\, the exhibit explores the variation in how these tales are told and illustrated.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstract Ancestry: Machine-Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Presentation:PhD Defense: Jungmoo Hah
DESCRIPTION:Co-Chair: Prof. Karl Krushelnick\nCo-Chair: Prof. Alexander Thomas\n\nAdvancements in laser technology over the last few decades have allowed progress in intense laser-plasma interaction research. The relativistic plasma generated by intense laser pulses can generate many different forms of radiation. This radiation\, including X-rays\, has been studied intensively due to the numerous potential applications of these sources. For example\, for Homeland Security\, radiation sources are already utilized to detect dangerous materials and hidden items that threaten civil safety. Neutrons and THz radiation have been studied as candidates for next generation screening\, which may complement typical X-ray techniques. This thesis contains three experimental studies of high-power laser-plasma interactions as sources of radiation for Homeland Security applications\, especially at kilohertz repetition-rates using few-millijoule pulses.\nFirst\, a neutron generation experiment was conducted using a high repetition-rate laser system (1⁄2 kHz) at the University of Michigan. A heavy water (D2O) stream was\nirradiated by 40 fs pulses\, each containing a few millijoules of energy. Acceleration of deuterons (to E < 1 MeV) was achieved through plasma sheath acceleration. Ensuing DD\nnuclear fusion reactions\, in turn\, generated neutron fluxes of up to 105 s−1. In order to understand the neutron source characteristics\, deuteron spectra were measured with CR39 detectors and compared to particle-in-cell (PIC) relativistic plasma dynamics simulations. The neutron source characteristics were analyzed using various neutron detection techniques\, including Time-of-Flight measurements\, bubble detectors\, and neutron-capture gamma-ray measurements.\nSecond\, THz generation from laser filamentation in air was investigated. For security applications\, THz can complement X-ray scanning\, because THz can detect non- metallic materials and dangerous chemicals while not ionizing the sample. Even though there have been extensive studies on THz generation from laser filamentation processes\, the exact generation mechanisms are yet to be determined. In the thesis\, optimization of THz radiation using an adaptive optic with active feedback was demonstrated. Using the genetic algorithm\, the THz radiation was improved six-fold without the need for detailed knowledge of the mechanisms. In particular\, the use of a high repetition-rate laser system accelerated the optimization of the THz signal. Another strength of this optimization system is that it can enhance certain THz generation mechanisms depending on the experimental circumstances.\nLastly\, using a nanosecond pulsed high-power laser system (10 Hz)\, a long-range detection technique was developed detection of special nuclear materials. Although direct detection of radiation from nuclear materials can be defeated by radiation shielding\, leakage of radiation-ionized gases can provide an alternative indicator of the existence of nuclear materials. For instance\, in the presence of ionizing radiation\, the ratio of ionized nitrogen to neutral nitrogen would be higher than in no-source air-plasma conditions. By inducing an optical breakdown (plasma) near a sample’s position\, the ionization levels of the surrounding air were analyzed. To enhance the detection efficiency\, an adaptive-optic feedback system was introduced with this ratio as a figure-of-merit. This resulted in a 50 % enhancement in the spectral ratio of the nitrogen lines. In addition\, aerosol-initiated plasma spectra were distinguished from the original air-breakdown plasma\, as a step toward practical deployment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure
DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Illuminated Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:Books of hours—custom-made for private devotion in the Christian faith—were a bestseller in medieval Europe. These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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:Taking Responsibility for Racial Violence
DESCRIPTION:Co-Sponsored by Race\, Gender\, & Feminist Philosophy and Minorities and Philosophy\n\nAbstract: Patterns of racial violence have a systemic social dimension that requires going beyond the individual responsibilities of perpetrators of such violence and demanding accountability and responsiveness from the communities and institutions within which those patterns unfold. This talk will analyze different kinds of complicity with racial violence and will defend a view of shared responsibility that goes beyond the bystander model. Working toward community responses that are both reparative and preventive\, I argue for a kind of political mobilization and resistance against racial violence that I term epistemic activism\, which consists in contestatory practices that disrupt complicity with damaging social imaginaries and with the distortions in social perception that hide patterns of racial violence and perpetuate the vulnerabilities of racial minorities. Epistemic activism will be discussed by analyzing photo activism and the activist practices of organizations such as the NAACP and of social movements such as Black Lives Matter.

DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                                                                Trivalent lanthanide(III) ions\, Ln3+\, due to their specific electronic configuration ([Xe]4fn\, n = 0–14) and the shielding of their 4f orbitals by the outer 5s25p6 subshells exhibit unique optical properties\, in particular (i) sharp characteristic bands arising from f-f transitions in the entire spectrum from UV to near-infrared (NIR) domains\, the wavelengths of which are insignificantly affected by changes in the local microenvironment around Ln3+ (pH\, temperature\, hydrophilic and hydrophobic character of biological molecules) and (ii) long luminescence lifetimes compared to organic fluorophores (ns-µs or µs-ms range for NIR- or visible-emitting Ln3+\, respectively). However\, extremely low molar absorption coefficients of free Ln3+ require their sensitization by the “antenna effect” via appropriate chromophoric ligands in order to obtain a sufficient emission intensity. Therefore\, the design of highly luminescent Ln3+ compounds requires an optimization of the sensitization processes as well as the minimization of non-radiative deactivation mechanisms through overtones of high-energy vibrations\, charge-transfer states and back energy transfer. Moreover\, if Ln3+ coordination compounds are thought to be used in a specific application\, additional requirements such as water solubility\, biocompatibility\, low toxicity\, high thermodynamic stability and/or kinetic inertness for biological applications\, have to be taken into account. \nIn this presentation\, we will show the way from the design and synthesis to the use of highly luminescent lanthanide(III) coordination compounds emitting in the visible and the NIR ranges for biological applications. Particular attention will be given to the detailed analysis of photophysical properties in view of their possible rationalization. Ln3+-based small molecular complexes (polyaminocarboxylates\, metallacrowns)\, macromolecules (dendrimers)\, coordination polymers and nanomaterials will be discussed.\n\n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nSvetlana Eliseeva (Centre Moleculaire Biophysique in Orleans\, France)

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:The Art of Maps
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the last Third Thursday of the 2017-2018 school year as we celebrate maps as art. Maps can be much more than geographic tools\, telling us how to get somewhere. Instead\, more often than not they become artwork themselves. Come and explore the Clark Library’s collection of artistic maps. We will feature Elaine Wilson’s paintings from Charting the Wolverine\, “Europe as a Woman” from Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia\, and much more.\n\n“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” — Thomas Merton\n\nThird Thursday is a monthly open house that showcases the highlights of the Clark Library’s vast collection. These fun\, thematic events are open to everyone\, offering the community a look at some of our favorite maps and other materials.

SUMMARY:Performance:Personal\, Present and Immediate: Making Performance on Socio-Political Questions
DESCRIPTION:Making Performance on Socio-Political Questions\, is a composition workshop-style course is a generative laboratory to make rigorous\, experimental works that open reflection on socio-political issues. Our seminar involves: a study of other artists' work and ways they engage with wide-ranging political matter through performance\, animation\, sculpture and other media\; an embodied exploration of compositional elements at different sites in the Residential College and U-M's campus\; and creative assignments that employ various methods to interrogate sociopolitical material of your own choosing. We'll be examining the immediate\, present\, and personal relationship of the body to performance in a very expansive way\, studying William Kentridge's stop-gap animation\, Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry murals\, and Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial\, for example\, alongside more traditional understandings of performance in theater\, dance and film. Questioning assumptions of performance\, genre\, audience and politics will form an important part of our work in this interdisciplinary class\, as will a detailed examination of compositional elements common to multiple art forms. We will gain practice and experience with different approaches to making performance and different ways to deploy compositional tools\, depending on your objectives. No previous experience in performance or socio-political action necessary\, and all bodies\, abilities\, and backgrounds are actively welcome on this journey\; experimentation\, adaptation and play with formats and tools that may be new to you will be encouraged. The course will culminate in a public showing of original student work.\n\nSponsored in part through the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) and the EXCEL Lab of the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sierra Hull
DESCRIPTION:Sierra Hull first played the Grand Ole Opry stage at 11\, invited by Alison Krauss\, and she quickly became known as a bluegrass mandolin prodigy. She was celebrated\, yet adrift. Stranded\, even. What she felt at 22 was not what she felt at 12\, and the music Sierra Hull was writing and playing at home was different from the music she was making on stages. \"In some way\, I was needing to run from the thing that everybody thought I was being\,\" she says now\, at 24. Now\, after consulting with Krauss and with Béla Fleck (who says\, \" She plays the mandolin with a degree of refined elegance and freedom that few have achieved\")\, she returns with the album \"Weighted Mind.\" Fleck served as producer\, and the album\, with 11 of its 12 songs written or co-written by Sierra\, is nothing like what we thought it would be. It is nothing like what we’ve heard before\, from anyone. It is singular and emphatic\, harmonious and dissonant. It is the realization of promise\, and the affirmation of individuality. Alison Krauss\, who has won more Grammy awards than any female artist in history\, says of Sierra\, \"I think she’s endless. I don’t see any boundaries. Talent like hers is so rare\, and I don’t think it stops.\"

SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:The Quito Project School Supply Drive!
DESCRIPTION:The Quito Project is an organization of University of Michigan faculty and students of all disciplines\, including liberal arts\, education\, and engineering. We travel to Quito\, Ecuador every summer to run a free summer camp for approximately 60 children ages 5-12. Our aim is to improve the education\, and well-being in the underserved and politically underrepresented communities of Quito in addition to raising discussions and awareness of the Ecuadorian culture and society at the University of Michigan and beyond. Our students come from low resource backgrounds and due to their financially destitute situations\, we provide our students with two meals a day\, hygienic supplies\, and school supplies to help give them the tools they need to succeed through education\, encourage our students to continue onto higher education\, and provide them with some of the basic necessities every human being should have access to.  We are trying to collect school supplies In order to allow our tutors to continue creating fun and engaging lesson plans and to give our students the best experience possible. We are looking for any school supplies that you may have left over from the school year or if would be willing to donate any new supplies as well. Some suggested supplies to donate include: construction paper\, pencils\, markers\, colored pencils\, crayons\, glue\, lined paper\, scissors\, books (ages 4-14)\, rulers\, folders\, pencil sharpeners\, erasers\, coloring books\, highlighters etc.  But please keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list and all donations are welcome and appreciated!  The dates of the drive are from April 2nd-April 26th. Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:Bert's Cafe Entrance of UGLiNorth Lobby\, Hatcher1816 East Quad1500 North QuadSuite 500\, Weiser Hall1122 Lane Hall4108 MLBGinsberg Center If you are unable to make a donation please still let all of your professors and fellow students know about this drive to help spread the word!

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:\"Student Reflections: A Retrospective of Dental Education\"
DESCRIPTION:“Student Reflections: A Retrospective of Dental Education\,” 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday\, through December 2019\, Sindecuse Museum of Dentistry\, School of Dentistry\, 1011 N.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Beauty Meets My Mess: Mixed Media Collage
DESCRIPTION:Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Timeless Instants: Still Life Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:In 1922 the University of Michigan acquired the library of Henry Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, whose extensive personal library included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications. Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstract Ancestry: Machine-Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure
DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

Since Koreans and Japanese represent different ethnic groups that cannot be differentiated racially\, rethinking received notions of passing through an in-depth study of zainichi literary and visual narratives can help us further theorize hegemonic discourses on passing\, as well as the consequences\, effects\, means\, and strategies of passing (or not passing).\n\nThis two-day symposium will consist of four panels with 12 presenters\, 4 moderators\, and 8 discussants (detailed program here) together with an open discussion forum each day.\n\nCome join us!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Illuminated Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:Books of hours—custom-made for private devotion in the Christian faith—were a bestseller in medieval Europe. These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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:How to Have Reasons for Your Values
DESCRIPTION:In philosophy\, we provide arguments for our positions.  So it seems that moral philosophers ought to be in the business of providing arguments for moral and ethical convictions.  But I have elsewhere argued that we should not expect to be able to provide arguments of the kind that philosophers paradigmatically make for our most central\, important or fundamental normative convictions.  To put that another way\, we cannot reason to our fundamental moral or ethical commitments.  However\, as I have also argued\, this should not lead us to conclude that we could not have reasons for such commitments.  In this paper I attempt to make some progress towards a positive characterization of what it means to have reasons for an attitude that we cannot reason to by considering how we ideally come to adopt or acquire our normative convictions.  I will argue that\, while we cannot be argued into fundamental normative commitments\, we can be educated into them.  Moreover\, what distinguishes such an education from mere conditioning is sensitivity to the reasons or rational grounds for the commitments.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations
DESCRIPTION:We write to invite you to a reading group on Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations. This group will not require preparation prior to the meetings. The format of the reading group will be a slow but deep dive into the Investigations by reading aloud and then discussing the book\, section by section. We hope to make it through 5 to 10 sections each meeting. After the discussion on a section dries up\, we’ll move to the next section until the hour and a half of the meeting is over. This design is meant to accommodate busy schedules\, and it also should be amenable to varying degrees of familiarity with the Investigations and Wittgenstein’s other work.\n\nOur first meeting will be next Friday (February 2) from 1:30-3:00pm. Location: Angell Hall 3184. All interested faculty\, staff\, and graduate students are welcome to attend. RSVP to Bryan Kim-Butler (bkimbutl@umich.edu) and Ben Mangrum (bmangrum@umich.edu). If you can’t make it for the first meeting but are interested\, please let us know and we’ll add you to the mailing list.\n\nWe'll bring photocopies of the sections likely to be read and discussed each meeting. However\, you’re also welcome to bring your own copy of the Investigations.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Department Seminar: Apparent Wing Stiffness Using Load Control
DESCRIPTION:Apparent Wing Stiffness Using Load Control\n\nRafael Palacios \nImperial College \nLondon\n\nWe investigate computational methods for the design of aerostructures in which aerodynamic load control strategies allow for high compliance. This talk will introduce first modelling approaches for coupled aeroelasticity and flight dynamics of very flexible aircraft. A medium-fidelity approach for nonlinear simulation and analysis\, based on geometrically-nonlinear beams and unsteady vortex-lattice aerodynamics\, will be introduced and exemplified in the study of the dynamics of solar-powered aircraft. Aerodynamic load control will be then demonstrated in two prototypical examples: first\, the response of a flexible vehicle in wake-vortex encounter will be investigated using a feedforward strategy for fast response\; second\, high improvements in the maneuverability of a very flexible flying wing will be demonstrated using predictive control with model updating. The latter is built on an original methodology for a nonlinear model reduction in structural dynamics\, which will be finally discussed.\n \nAbout the speaker... \n\nRafael Palacios is Reader in Aeronautics at Imperial College London. He is Aeronautical Engineer from Universidad Politécnica\, Madrid (1998)\, and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan (2005)\, which he attended first with a Fulbright and later with an FXB Fellowship. His PhD received the AIAA Foundation Orville and Wilbur Wright Graduate Award. His research is on computational methods in aeroservoelasticity and fluid-structure interactions\, with applications to nonlinear aeroelastic design and control of large offshore wind turbines and air vehicles. This work has been funded by the UK Research Council\, European Commission\, AFOSR\, QinetiQ and Airbus. Rafael is associate editor of Progress in Aerospace Sciences\, the Journal of Fluids and Structures\, and the Journal of Aircraft\, a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society\, and a member of the AIAA Structural Dynamics Technical Committee.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ninth Annual International Graduate Student Workshop | Armenian Childhood(s): Histories and Theories of Childhood and Youth in Armenian Studies
DESCRIPTION:For complete workshop program\, please visit: https://ii.umich.edu/asp/news-events/all-events/workshops/april-2018--armenian-childhood-s---histories-a.html\n\nIn recent years\, the study of childhood and youth has gained increasing attention that has resulted in innovative interdisciplinary scholarship. The field of Childhood Studies of the last decade has concentrated on modern childhood(s) and youth\, and has questioned the meanings that adults and governmental bodies attribute to children. For example\, universal characteristics\, such as “innocence\,” “incompetence\,” and “vulnerability\,” defining children and youth have been examined and challenged by scholars from a variety of fields\, who insist that “childhood”\, like ethnicity\, gender\, and class\, is a constructed social category. Pushing methodological boundaries to explore political\, historical\, cultural\, economic\, and social formations\, structures and contexts across time and place\, scholars have begun to consider children and youth as agents in their political and social environment rather than passive members of society. \n    \n   This workshop will initiate an inter-disciplinary conversation about Armenian childhood\, children\, and youth. The goal is to consider new perspectives\, methodologies\, and cross-disciplinary frameworks that will put Armenian Studies in conversation with Childhood Studies. We aim to bring together theoretical and methodological approaches along with empirical studies across disciplines that use childhood as a category of analysis and/or concentrate on children’s agencies and experiences in Armenian history\, politics\, society\, economy\, and culture. We see both childhood and youth as fluid categories and concepts that are subject to flexible interpretations and definitions.\n\nPhoto caption: Miss Harnack with a group of (Armenian) orphans\nCredit: Der Christliche Orient (Vol.15\, 1914)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ONCE A FURY: RECORDING  THE SEPARATIST REVOLUTION
DESCRIPTION:This presentation offers outtakes of interviews with the Furies\, a lesbian separatist collective from the early 1970s who published an underground newspaper with a national run. The group formed quickly and ended dramatically\, with multiple purges\, suspicion of FBI involvement\, and numerous interpersonal conflicts—most of which they wrote about in their newspaper. Now\, 50 years later\, they’re talking—and the IRB-exempt study has turned more problematic with legal and ethical complications of authorship and representation. In this presentation\, I offer some insights about the politics of voicing\, focusing in particular on the process of attempting to ethically and respectfully listen to and represent other’s stories.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Chef & Writer Tunde Wey in Conversation with Rebekah Modrak
DESCRIPTION:Tunde Wey opened a restaurant in Detroit in 2013. A year later\, realizing that the influx of capital to the city was not contributing to an inclusive revival but to the profit of those already “fluent in the language of privilege\,” Tunde left the restaurant and moved to New Orleans. He now travels around the country holding dinners\, using food as a medium to have conversations about race\, equity\, and cultural values. Recently\, the Nigerian-born chef and writer has received national press for Saartj\, his lunch counter in New Orleans where white patrons were asked to pay $30 per plate and people of color were charged $12 per plate as a way to call attention to racial wealth disparity. Participants of color could “opt-in” to receive the profit redistribution. In Ann Arbor\, Tunde will host two private dinners for local residents and advocates concerned with equity and race\, and will offer food truck conversations for four nights.\n\nAt the Ann Arbor District Library\, artist and Stamps School Professor Rebekah Modrak (whose works\, such as Rethink Shinola\, critically intervene in consumption) will moderate a conversation with Tunde about his work as a chef\, his decision to use food as provocation\, the possibility of transforming consumptive acts through dinners and pop-up restaurants\, discriminatory development\, racial wealth disparity\, and the importance of self-determination in affecting the outcomes of your life and community.  \n\nTunde’s talk is co-sponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library\, The Ginsberg Center for Community Service and Learning\, and Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mountain Heart
DESCRIPTION:Mountain Heart offers bluegrass and more. This band as been fearlessly revolutionizing the way acoustic music can be presented and played. The band's name has been synonymous with cutting-edge excellence in bluegrass circles since the group's creation. Widely known throughout the music industry for continually redefining the boundaries of acoustic music\, the band has gained legions of loyal fans as a result of both their superlative musicianship and their incendiary live performances. Mountain Heart's music always fell just barely under the bluegrass umbrella\, and now\, from large outdoor folk music\, Americana\, jam band\, and bluegrass festivals\, to sold-out shows opening for Southern rock icons like The Marshall Tucker Band\, The Tedeschi Trucks Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Mountain Heart has been making an undeniable connection with wider audiences. Whenever they come to The Ark\, they tear the house down—and at the 2018 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, they just had a bigger house to tear down.

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:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ninth Annual International Graduate Student Workshop | Armenian Childhood(s): Histories and Theories of Childhood and Youth in Armenian Studies
DESCRIPTION:For complete workshop program\, please visit: https://ii.umich.edu/asp/news-events/all-events/workshops/april-2018--armenian-childhood-s---histories-a.html\n\nIn recent years\, the study of childhood and youth has gained increasing attention that has resulted in innovative interdisciplinary scholarship. The field of Childhood Studies of the last decade has concentrated on modern childhood(s) and youth\, and has questioned the meanings that adults and governmental bodies attribute to children. For example\, universal characteristics\, such as “innocence\,” “incompetence\,” and “vulnerability\,” defining children and youth have been examined and challenged by scholars from a variety of fields\, who insist that “childhood”\, like ethnicity\, gender\, and class\, is a constructed social category. Pushing methodological boundaries to explore political\, historical\, cultural\, economic\, and social formations\, structures and contexts across time and place\, scholars have begun to consider children and youth as agents in their political and social environment rather than passive members of society. \n    \n   This workshop will initiate an inter-disciplinary conversation about Armenian childhood\, children\, and youth. The goal is to consider new perspectives\, methodologies\, and cross-disciplinary frameworks that will put Armenian Studies in conversation with Childhood Studies. We aim to bring together theoretical and methodological approaches along with empirical studies across disciplines that use childhood as a category of analysis and/or concentrate on children’s agencies and experiences in Armenian history\, politics\, society\, economy\, and culture. We see both childhood and youth as fluid categories and concepts that are subject to flexible interpretations and definitions.\n\nPhoto caption: Miss Harnack with a group of (Armenian) orphans\nCredit: Der Christliche Orient (Vol.15\, 1914)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure
DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The Poetics of Passing: Interrogating Self-Fashioning as the Other in Zainichi Cultural Production
DESCRIPTION:Please note--this conference will be held on the Michigan State University campus\, in East Lansing. Complete conference information is available here: https://zainichistudies2018.wixsite.com/symposium\n\nTwo Days of Powerful Conversations\n\nThe symposium\, “The Poetics of Passing: Interrogating Self-Fashioning as the Other in Zainichi Cultural Production\,” seeks to illuminate “zainichi” as a locus for theorizing the notion of passing. Since Koreans and Japanese represent different ethnic groups that cannot be differentiated racially\, rethinking received notions of passing through an in-depth study of zainichi literary and visual narratives can help us further theorize hegemonic discourses on passing\, as well as the consequences\, effects\, means\, and strategies of passing (or not passing).\n\nThis two-day symposium will consist of four panels with 12 presenters\, 4 moderators\, and 8 discussants (detailed program here) together with an open discussion forum each day.\n\nCome join us!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Illuminated Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:Books of hours—custom-made for private devotion in the Christian faith—were a bestseller in medieval Europe. These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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.

DESCRIPTION:A blockbuster by director   Seung-wan (Veteran 2015)\, “The Battleship Island” narrates the attempted prison break from the forced labor camp on Hashima island\, where hundreds of Koreans and Chinese were forced to mine coal for the Japanese Empire. \n\nThe main character\, Lee Kang-ok (Hwang Jung-min)\, is a bandmaster who went to Japan with his young daughter (Kim Su-an) in search for a better future that ends up being sent to the hellish island instead. \n\n“Staged on a specially constructed a 2/3-scale set of the island\, it’s an impressive display of visual technique and simulated combat as the Koreans rebel against their Japanese oppressors in an attempt to escape aboard a massive coal freighter.” \n\nPlease see the review on the Hollywood Reporter: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/battleship-island-1026903\n\n...and Roger Ebert: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-battleship-island-2017

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. This tour will begin at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and go across the street to the University of Michigan Museum of Art. This is a rain or shine event and will take place outside! \n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/jim-cogswell-cosmogonic-tattoos/ \n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Guest Lecture: Glimmerglass Festival Opera
DESCRIPTION:The Glimmerglass Festival presents BREAKING GLASS: Hyper-linking Opera and Issues. Within eight national forums and an initial 5-episode podcast series\, The Glimmerglass Festival will talk with industry professionals\, scholars\, students and patrons to further explore how an arts organization tackles social responsibility. Funding for BREAKING GLASS is provided by the Mellon Foundation and the Opera America Innovation Grant.\n\nIn this panel\, the U-M Gershwin Initiative hosts two creative teams from The Glimmerglass Festival opera company. Glimmerglass seeks to inspire conversations about race in opera. This means talking about issues that are bubbling beneath the surface of making art in the late 2000-teens. Pulling from contemporary writers and thinkers\, such as Michael Eric Dyson and Ta-Nehisi Coates among others\, we will explore whether white privilege or the traditionally white European institutional model dictate the means by which the African American\, or further\, the refugee cultural experience are theatrically absorbed. Additionally\, we explore the idea that an artist’s life work is predicated on an ‘elite system’ where the arts & sciences had the opportunity to flourish as a result of a system of oppression. These conversations will occur in a safe space\, but we want to expose the African American and refugee experiences and how the Euro-centric institution is changing to embrace a new social responsibility. Panelists will include Jeanine Tesori (composer of Blue)\, Tazewell Thompson (librettist and director of Blue)\, and Matthew Morrison (NYU)\, and U-M Professor Naomi André\, along with SMTD student performers coached by Professor Kathy Kelly.\n\nPaige Hernandez\, Stomping Grounds director and librettist\nPaige Hernandez is a multidisciplinary artist who is critically-acclaimed as a performer\, director\, choreographer and playwright. She is known for her effective fusion of theatre\, hip-hop\, dance and education. As a master teaching artist\, Hernandez has taught throughout the country to all ages and disciplines\, to date reaching approximately 10\,000 students in over 100 residencies\, workshops and performances. As a performer\, choreographer and hip-hop advocate\, her work has been seen at The Kennedy Center\, Wolf Trap\, Imagination Stage\, Lincoln Center\, Arena Stage\, Folger Theatre and Forum Theatre\, among other stages across the globe. Hernandez tours internationally with her company B-FLY ENTERTAINMENT\, promoting original works such as Liner Notes\, Havana Hop and Paige in Full: A B-girl’s Visual Mixtape. Awards include an Individual Artist Award from the Maryland State Arts council\, the Thomas Fichandler Award for exceptional promise in theater education from the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning and two Helen Hayes nominations for choreography and performance. Hernandez was named a “classroom hero” by the Huffington Post for her outstanding arts integration and work with STEM initiatives.\n \nJeanine Tesori\, Blue composer\nJeanine Tesori won the 2015 Tony Award for “Best Original Score” with Lisa Kron for Fun Home. She has also written Tony-nominated scores for Twelfth Night (Lincoln Center)\; Thoroughly Modern Millie (lyrics\, Dick Scanlan)\; Caroline\, or Change (lyrics\, Tony Kushner)\; and Shrek The Musical (lyrics\, David Lindsay-Abaire).
