SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Privacy\, Reputation\, and Identity in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1\,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature\, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out\, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally\, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes\, what research tells us about their origins and structure\, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change. \n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\nWhat is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?\nWhere are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?\nWhat are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?\nHow can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?\nIs there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series\, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context. \n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at Teach-Out.org.

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: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:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: Variational Multiscale Modeling and Memory Effects in Turbulent Flow Simulations
DESCRIPTION:Aerospace Engineering PhD Candidate: Eric Parish\nDissertation Chair: Associate Professor Karthik Durasaimy\n\nEffective models of multiscale problems such as turbulent flows have to account for the impact of unresolved physics on the resolved scales. This dissertation advances our understanding of multiscale models and develops a mathematically rigorous closure modeling framework by combining the Mori-Zwanzig formalism of Statistical Mechanics with the Variational Multiscale method (MZ-VMS). This approach leverages scale-separation and phase-space projectors to provide a systematic modeling approach that is applicable to complex non-linear partial differential equations. Spectral as well as finite element methods are considered.\n\nThe MZ-VMS framework leads to a closure term that is non-local in time and appears as a memory integral. The resulting non-Markovian system is used as a starting point for model development. Several new insights are discovered: We show that unresolved scales lead to memory effects that are driven by the coarse-scale residual and\, in the case of finite elements\, inter-element jumps. Connections between MZ-based methods\, artificial viscosity\, and VMS models are explored.\n\nLarge eddy simulations of Burgers’ equation\, turbulent flows\, and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence using spectral and discontinuous Galerkin methods are explored. We show that MZ-VMS models lead to substantial improvements in the prediction of quantities of interest. Applications to discontinuous Galerkin methods show that modern flux schemes can inherently capture memory effects. We conclude by demonstrating how ideas from MZ-VMS can be adapted for shock-capturing and filtering methods.\n\nDissertation Committee\n\nChair: Associate Professor Karthik Duraisamy\nCognate: Associate Professor Eric Johnsen

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:Class / Instruction:Shodo—Japanese Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:Shodo is the art of drawing characters with brush and ink to express spiritual depth through the beauty of the brush strokes. Shodo combines both kanji (Chinese characters) and kana (Japanese phonetic characters) to create a uniquely Japanese art. \nBy controlling the thickness and the tone of the characters\, the calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. Tools provided for classroom only. Because we will use black ink\, please wear a smock or painting clothes. Konomi Shinohara Corbin\, the instructor\, taught the first Calligraphy class offered at UM some years ago. She taught Japanese language at both UM and EMU.\nThis Study Group is for those over 50.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Joint Mean and Covariance Modeling of Matrix-Variate Data
DESCRIPTION:We address theory\, methodology\, and applications for joint mean and covariance estimation with matrix-variate data.  Our first project considers joint mean and covariance estimation in the Kronecker product model\, which has natural methodological connections to large-scale screening and differential mean analysis in various application areas including genomics.  It has been proposed that complex populations\, such as those that arise in genomics studies\, may exhibit dependencies among observations as well as among variables.  This gives rise to the challenging problem of analyzing unreplicated high-dimensional data with unknown mean and dependence structures.  Matrix-variate approaches that impose various forms of (inverse) covariance sparsity allow flexible dependence structures to be estimated\, but cannot directly be applied when the mean and covariance matrices are estimated jointly.  We present a practical method utilizing generalized least squares and penalized (inverse) covariance estimation to address this challenge.  We establish consistency and obtain rates of convergence for estimating the mean parameters and covariance matrices.  The advantages of our approaches are: (i) dependence graphs and covariance structures can be estimated in the presence of unknown mean structure\, (ii) the mean structure becomes more efficiently estimated when accounting for the dependence structure among observations\; and (iii) inferences about the mean parameters become correctly calibrated.  We use simulation studies and analysis of genomic data from a twin study of ulcerative colitis to illustrate the statistical convergence and the performance of our methods in practical settings.  Several lines of evidence show that the test statistics for differential gene expression produced by our methods are correctly calibrated and improve power over conventional methods.\n\nOur second project uses matrix-variate techniques to gain insight into pitch curve data that plays an important role in linguistics research.  These curves can be viewed as large multi-indexed data arrays with distinct covariance behaviors along each index.  We estimate covariance and inverse covariance matrices and graphs\, and we connect edge structures to word properties.  By contrast with the first project\, the pitch curve data contains a limited number of replicates\, which allows us to use trial residualization to remove mean structure.  We investigate whether edges are associated with characteristics of the words\, including initial consonant\, vowel type\, and voicing using inverse covariance graphs estimated using graphical lasso and nodewise regression.  In particular\, we hierarchically decompose the words by consonants and/or by vowels while analyzing edges between individual words as well as word groups categorized by initial consonant or vowel properties.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Privacy\, Reputation\, and Identity in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1\,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature\, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out\, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally\, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes\, what research tells us about their origins and structure\, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change. \n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\nWhat is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?\nWhere are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?\nWhat are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?\nHow can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?\nIs there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series\, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context. \n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

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:Workshop / Seminar:TBP Grad Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations
DESCRIPTION:**Note change of location**\nWe are excited to announce the launch of TBP Graduate Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations organized by Tau Beta Pi for the College of Engineering\, a pilot professional development event funded by the College of Engineering and the Office of Student Affairs. \n\nTraining (for) Better Presentations is aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills\, so they can learn to effectively convey the \"big picture\" value of their research to a diverse audience. It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.\n\nIntended as \"teaching through practice\" event\, each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience)\, highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills\, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.\n\nStarting mid-February and leading up to June\, we will be organizing multiple sessions for this event\, and we invite you to participate. The sessions will be held on Saturday mornings (9am - 11am)\, and will be scheduled to occur once every 2-3 weeks. Breakfast and coffee will be provided!\n\nIf you are interested in participating as a speaker\, please indicate your availability on the \"Speaker sign up\" form and the planning committee will follow up with you for scheduling. If you are interested in participating as an audience member\, please sign up through our TBP website on the \"Audience sign up\" link. Note: you be prompted to create a guest profile in order to sign-up as an audience member.\n\nWe look forward to your participation!

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:Exhibition:STARX: ACE Compeition
DESCRIPTION:TESTING FUNCTIONAL EXOSKELETONS\nExoskeletons are posed to change the lives of everyone.  They can improve mobility for the disabled\, strengthen emergency rescue workers\, and keep soldiers safer.  Currently most working exoskeletons are out of reach of the public\, confined mostly to research and military.  With this competition we hope to change this.\n\nTHE COMPETITION\nThe ACE Competition 2018 is an event to test the functionality of load-bearing leg exoskeletons in real-world situations.  The event's obstacle course challenge simulates a firefighter with 75 lbs of equipment navigating through difficult terrain likely to be found in an emergency situation.   Through this challenge\, engineering students can test exoskeletons that reduce the burden of equipment weight in difficult environments.

Marx's call: “Workers of the world unite!” resonates today amid an eruption of the class struggle on every continent. In the first four months of 2018\, tens of millions of people have participated in the largest demonstrations and strikes in decades.\n\nThe capitalist system\, based on the exploitation of the working class\, is wracked by crisis.\n\nAll over the world\, the ruling elites seek to protect their wealth and save this bankrupt system by resorting to war and repression. The governments and corporations are censoring the Internet out of fear that this revolutionary source for information and communication can link workers across the world in a common struggle against inequality\, dictatorship and war.\n\nThe International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) and the World Socialist Web Site are commemorating Marx's birthday alongside May Day\, the international day of working class solidarity\, with an international online rally with participants from dozens of countries worldwide. Speakers will include leaders of the Fourth International from around the world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Privacy\, Reputation\, and Identity in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1\,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature\, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out\, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally\, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes\, what research tells us about their origins and structure\, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change. \n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\nWhat is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?\nWhere are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?\nWhat are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?\nHow can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?\nIs there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series\, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context. \n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

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: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:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Privacy\, Reputation\, and Identity in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1\,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature\, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out\, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally\, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes\, what research tells us about their origins and structure\, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change. \n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\nWhat is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?\nWhere are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?\nWhat are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?\nHow can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?\nIs there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series\, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context. \n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at Teach-Out.org.

SUMMARY:Other:Emerging Directions in the Chemistry of the Rare Earth Elements: Sustainability and Bioinorganic Chemistry  
DESCRIPTION:                                                The chemistry of rare earth elements (La–Lu\, Sc and Y) touches key issues in modern inorganic chemistry including metals criticality\, sustainability\, and the global carbon cycle. In this talk\, I will present on two projects from my research group involving targeted separations chemistry for metals recycling and a new\, natural bioinorganic chemistry for the rare earths. Rare earth elements are essential in renewable energies technologies including in permanent magnets for wind turbines\, hybrid and electric vehicles\, energy efficient lighting phosphors and many others. The rare earths are relatively abundant in the earth’s crust. But the conventional separations chemistry used to purify them proceeds through solvent extraction\, a scalable but (stepwise) poorly efficient process that includes an unsustainable environmental burden. We have developed a hydroxylamine ligand\, H3TriNOx\, and its coordination chemistry. The RE(TriNOx) RE = La–Lu\, Y series led to identification of an unusual solubility dependence of the resulting complexes\, which afforded a new method for separating rare earth elements\, especially for recycling. The TriNOx3– ligand also exhibits redox activity when coordinated to metal cations. We have recently determined that this redox activity can be exploited for metal separations based on variable rates of oxidation. Despite the relatively large abundances of early rare earth elements\, it had been widely believed that these elements had no role in biology. Recently\, however\, a metalloenzyme was discovered that includes cerium\, lanthanum and other elements in its active site. This methanol dehydrogenase\, Xoxf\, catalyzes the conversion of methanol to formaldehyde and\, uniquely\, to formate. We have developed a tethered quinolone quinone ligand that replicates the structure and function of the active site of the Xoxf metalloenzyme for the first time. We have used this compound to study the reactivity of alcohol dehydrogenation using a benzylic alcohol test substrate. Our results contribute to understanding about why Nature selects for lanthanides in this case and to understanding the reaction mechanism of the Xoxf methanol dehydrogenase.                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nEric Schelter (University of Pennsylvania)

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:Mary Brodbeck studied Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga) in Tokyo with Yoshisuke Funasaka. Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US\; the Autumn\, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics\, including subtlety\, austerity and naturalness\, to her art practice in Kalamazoo\, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm\, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

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: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: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:Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1\,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature\, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out\, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally\, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes\, what research tells us about their origins and structure\, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change. \n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\nWhat is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?\nWhere are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?\nWhat are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?\nHow can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?\nIs there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series\, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context. \n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue.

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: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:Other:Dissertation Defense: Computational Inference Algorithms for Spatiotemporal Processes and Other Complex Models
DESCRIPTION:Statistical data analysis can be carried out based on a stochastic model that reflects the analyst’s understanding about how the system in question behaves. The stochastic model specifies where in the system randomness is present and how the randomness plays a role in generating data. The likelihood of the data defined by the model summarizes the evidence provided by observations of the system. Drawing inference from the likelihood of the data\, however\, can be far from being simple or straightforward\, especially in modern statistical data analyses. Complex probability models and big data call for new computational methods to translate the likelihood of data into inference results. In this thesis\, I present two innovations in computational inference for complex stochastic models.\n\nThe first innovation lies in the development of a method that enables inference on coupled dynamic systems that are partially observed. The high dimensionality of the model that defines the joint distribution of the coupled dynamic processes makes computational inference a challenge. I focus on the case where the probability model is not analytically tractable\, which makes the computational inference even more challenging. Mechanistic model of a dynamic process that is defined via a simulation algorithm can lead to analytically intractable models. I show that algorithms that utilizes the Markov structure and the mixing property of stochastic dynamic systems can enable fully likelihood based inference for these high dimensional analytically intractable models. I demonstrate theoretically that these algorithms can substantially reduce the computational cost for inference\, which may be orders of magnitude in practice. Spatiotemporal dynamics of measles transmission are inferred from data collected at linked geographic locations\, as an illustration that this algorithm can\noffer an advance in scientific inference. \n\nThe second innovation involves a generalization of the framework in which samples from a probability distribution with unnormalized density are drawn using Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms. The new framework generalizes the widely used Metropolis-Hastings acceptance or rejection strategy. The resulting method is straightforward to implement in a broad range of MCMC algorithms\, including the most frequently used ones such as random walk Metropolis\, Metropolis adjusted Langevin\, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo\, or the bouncy particle sampler. Numerical studies show that this new framework enables flexible tuning of parameters and facilitates faster mixing of the Markov chain\, especially when the target probability density has complex structure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How To Make Canvas Discussions Meaningful and Manageable
DESCRIPTION:Canvas Discussions are an excellent way to build a sense of community\, engage in course content\, and to assess learning. The key\, however\, is to make Discussions meaningful and manageable for instructors and students. Discussions should be integrated into the course so students see a meaningful connection to their learning. Clear guidelines and reasonable parameters for participation ensure online discussion is a manageable part of the course.\n\nThis session will explore best practices for online discussion including how to ask the right questions\, manage time\, and bring the discussion back to the class. We will also examine how to design clear\, simple Canvas Rubrics to outline expectations.

SUMMARY:Performance:The California Honeydrops
DESCRIPTION:The California Honeydrops spring into 2018 with the Call It Home Tour to promote the release of a new double album\, \"Call It Home: Vol. 1 & 2.\" The California Honeydrops have a reputation as being among the most exciting and dynamic live bands on the planet. With unrelenting energy and a near-encyclopedic knowledge of musical styles\, genres and idioms\, the Honeydrops have spent a decade playing everywhere from subway stations in their native Oakland\, California\, to sold-out shows in theaters and at festivals all across the globe. In addition to their own nonstop touring\, 2016 and 2017 saw them honored to support Bonnie Raitt on her extensive North American tour\, following past support slots with such icons as B.B. King\, Allen Toussaint\, Buddy Guy and Dr. John. The band has come a long way since vocalist\, guitarist\, and trumpeter Lech Wierzynkski and drummer Ben Malament started busking in an Oakland subway station. With the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards and Beau Bradbury on bass\, they’ve built a powerful full-band sound drawing on diverse musical influences from Bay Area R&B to funk\, Southern soul\, Delta blues and New Orleans second-line. The breathtaking slide guitar virtuoso Javier Matos opens.

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: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.

Deadbeat algorithms based on the generalized inverse of a block-Toeplitz matrix are given for input reconstruction and state estimation in the case where the initial state is unknown and the system has no invariant zeros. In all cases\, the unknown input is an arbitrary deterministic or stochastic signal.\n\nNext\, asymptotic input and state estimation for systems with invariant zeros is considered. Although this problem has been widely studied\, existing techniques are confined to the minimum-phase systems. This dissertation presents retrospective cost input estimation (RCIE). It is shown that RCIE automatically develops an internal model of the unknown input\, which provides an asymptotic estimate of the unknown input regardless of the zeros-location of the plant\, including the case of nonminimum-phase dynamics.\n\nFinally\, based on exact kinematic models\, this dissertation presents a method for target tracking and detecting sensor faults. RCIE is applied to the nonminimum-phase problem of estimating inertial acceleration (3-axis accelerometer measurements) and angular velocity (3-axis rate-gyro measurements) of a maneuvering UAV using vision data. The estimates are then compared to IMU data from onboard sensors.\n\nDoctoral Committee\n\nChair:\nProfessor Dennis S.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Topics in Network Analysis with Applications to Brain Connectomics
DESCRIPTION:Large complex network data have become common in many scientific domains\, and require new statistical tools for discovering the underlying structures and features of interest.   This thesis presents new methodology for network data analysis\, with a focus on problems arising in the field of brain connectomics.  Our overall goal is to learn parsimonious and interpretable network features\, with computationally efficient and theoretically justified methods.  \n	\nThe first project in the thesis focuses on the problem of prediction with network covariates.  This setting is motivated by neuroimaging applications\, in which each subject has an associated brain network constructed from fMRI data\, and the goal is to derive interpretable prediction rules for a phenotype of interest or a clinical outcome.   Existing approaches to this problem typically either reduce the data to a small set of global network summaries\, losing a lot of local information\, or treat network edges as a ``bag of features'' and use standard statistical tools without accounting for the network nature of the data.    We develop a method that uses all edge weights\, while still effectively incorporating network structure by using a penalty that encourages sparsity in both the number of edges and the number of nodes used.   We develop efficient optimization algorithms for implementing this method and show it achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on a dataset of schizophrenic patients and healthy controls while using a smaller and more readily interpretable set of features than methods which ignore network structure.   We also establish theoretical performance guarantees.   \n	\nCommunities in networks are observed in many different domains\, and in brain networks they typically correspond to different regions of the brain responsible for different functions.    In connectomic analyses\, there are standard parcellations of the brain into such regions\, typically obtained by applying clustering methods to brain connectomes of healthy subjects.  However\, there is now increasing evidence that these communities are dynamic\, and when the goal is predicting a phenotype or distinguishing between different conditions\, these static communities from an unrelated set of healthy subjects may not be the most useful for prediction.       We present a method for supervised community detection\, that is\, a method that finds a partition of the network into communities that is most useful for predicting a particular response.     We use a block-structured regularization and compute the solution with a combination of a spectral method and an ADMM optimization algorithm.   The method performs well on both simulated and real brain networks\, providing support for the idea of task-dependent brain regions.\n	\nThe last part of the thesis focuses on the problem of community detection in the general network setting.  Unlike in neuroimaging\, statistical network analysis is typically applied to a single network\, motivated by datasets from the social sciences.    While community detection has been well studied\, in practice nodes in a network often belong to more than one community\, leading to the much harder problem of overlapping community detection. We propose a new approach for overlapping community detection based on sparse principal component analysis\, and develop efficient algorithms that are able to accurately recover community memberships\, provided each node does not belong to too many communities at once. The method has a very low computational cost relative to other methods available for this problem.  We show asymptotic consistency of recovering community memberships by the new method\, and good empirical performance on both simulated and real-world networks.

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:Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1\,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature\, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out\, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally\, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes\, what research tells us about their origins and structure\, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change. \n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\nWhat is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?\nWhere are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?\nWhat are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?\nHow can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?\nIs there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series\, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context. \n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

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: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.

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.

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:Meeting:U-M MLK Symposium Cross-Campus Planning Meeting
DESCRIPTION:YOU’RE INVITED!\n\nThe University of Michigan Martin Luther King\, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public\, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme\, the artwork for the event booklet\, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students\, faculty\, staff and administrators across campus. \n\nWe welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice\, civil and human rights\, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal\, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events\, sharing department or org events\, and always reflecting on current affairs\, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community. \n\nSTUDENTS! (undergrad\, grad\, professional\, etc) We need your voice at the table!\n\nMore information about putting your event in the booklet or online\, the history of speakers\, and other ways to get involved\, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).\n\nPlease email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting\, so that we may have an accurate food count.\n\nThe theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections\, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past\, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act\, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence\, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.
