How and why is the category evolving? This Teach-Out focuses on the civil rights aspects of two current debates--health care and the President’s seven-country travel ban--looking at politics\, protest\, and law. To understand these better\, you will learn about foundational civil rights history dating back to Reconstruction (after the Civil War). You will also hear the perspectives of scholars in law\, sociology\, and political science\, as well as civil rights advocates\, who will all discuss how civil rights are defended and contested\, often growing and contracting in response to other demands and debates. This Teach-Out ends with a call to action for you: How will you participate as our nation defines our rights?\n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\n\nCivil Rights generally:\n- What does “civil rights” mean? How has the category been understood both in the past and present?\n\nHealthcare:\n- In what way is healthcare reform a civil rights demand? \n- In what way does the civil rights “frame” fail to fit healthcare policy?\n\nImmigration:\n- Why did the 19th-century Supreme Court declare immigration a constitutional-law-free zone? \n- How are courts--including the Supreme Court--analyzing the President’s seven-country travel ban?\n\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.

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.

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.

It begins with methodological contributions to the problem of anomaly detection in communication networks. Using electricity consumption patterns and grid topology for University of Michigan campus\, the well known spatial prediction method: kriging has been adapted for identification of false data injections into the system.\nEvents like Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)\, Botnet/Malware attacks\, Credit card frauds etc. call for methods which can identify unusual behavior in Internet file transfer system. Since storing information on the entire network is infeasible\, hashing techniques which produce summary statistics for the network have been used. Owing to the rather heavy tailed nature of traffic payloads\, extreme value theory (EVT) based techniques have been developed for identification of volumetric attacks from the summary statistics. These methods based on EVT require the estimation of the tail index of a heavy tailed distribution. The traditional estimators (Hill (1975) for the tail index tend to be biased in the presence of outliers. To circumvent this issue\, a trimmed version of the classic Hill estimator has been proposed and studied xiii from a theoretical perspective. For the Pareto domain of attraction\, the optimality and asymptotic normality of the estimator has been established. Additionally\, a data driven strategy to detect the number of extreme outliers in heavy tailed data has also been presented. The dissertation concludes with the statistical formulation of m-year return levels of extreme climatic events (heat/cold waves). The Generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) serves as good fit for modeling peaks over threshold of a distribution. Allowing the parameters of the GPD to vary as a function of covariates such as time of the year\, El-Ni˜no and location in the US\, extremes of the areal impact of heat waves have been well modeled and inferred.

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.

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.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh\, Wilt has lived and worked in Ann Arbor since 1949 and completed two degrees (BFA\, ‘69 and MA\, ‘70) at the University of Michigan. She is an important figure in Ann Arbor’s art community\, who has consistently worked at fostering a vibrant arts community as an artist and educator in the Academy and beyond. She was an art professor for 17 years (1969-85) at the Eastern Michigan University. During this time she also organized and facilitated numerous community-engaged projects that empowered first-time and emerging artists to show their work. It was not until she retired and was well into her 70s that she turned her focus to her own art practice. Her work was duly recognized with numerous awards from the Michigan Water Color Society\, Washtenaw Council for the Arts\, and the Holland Friends of Art between 1984 and 1993.\n\nFor the first time in the last three decades\, Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt brings together over 40 carefully selected works from personal and private collections that highlight Wilt’s artistic contributions in Southeastern Michigan. Her intuitive and playful bricolage way of working reveals the scope of her achievement and her specific interest in the Michigan region and its landscape. She has developed multiple bodies of work that feature domestic objects from teapots to chairs while also reckoning with iconic architectural tropes of bridges and tunnels which are ongoing motifs in her work. Wilt continually experiments and explores new ways of working in a variety of two dimensional mediums including\, oil\, acrylic and watercolor. Since the 1970s she has incorporated collage into her practice using whatever materials she has available to her. These range from butcher paper\, aluminum foil\, and tissue to balsa wood\, toothpicks and other found objects. She creates mixed media paintings\, cut outs\, rubbings and installations that reimagine the agency of mundane objects and invite viewers to look again.\n\nExhibition Dates: Thursday\, May 31 - Sunday\, September 9\, 2018\nExhibition Reception: Thursday\, May 31\, 2018 from 6-8 pm \nA conversation with Ellen Wilt: June 9\, 2018 from 2-3 pm UID:52089-12418601@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52089 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180308T135541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180601T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180601T170000 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.

Labeled as ‘unknown’ or ‘anonymous\,’ African artists became associated with broad cultural styles and collective identities rather than personal creativity and individual agency. The exhibition Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa includes artworks from both named and unrecorded\, contemporary and historic artists to tell an alternative story. It explores how the changing attributes of an ‘African’ artist’s identity\, and constructions of African identity more broadly\, have shaped perceptions of Africa outside of the continent.\n\nLead support for Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of Afroamerican and African Studies and Susan Ullrich.

His 2013 film Une danse des bouffons (or A jester's dance) tells the tale of a romance between two principal figures of these traditions: Dada icon Marcel Duchamp and Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins\, who was the model for Duchamp's final\, enigmatic artwork Étant donnés. Rife with art-historical references not only to the work of Duchamp but also to Francisco Goya\, Francis Picabia and Joseph Beuys\, among others\, Une danse des bouffons navigates a sexually charged and mesmerizing world in which fantasy and torture run amok. The gallery presentation also includes a storyboard for the film featuring Dzama’s ink and watercolor drawings\, renderings of small hybrid figures resembling children’s book illustrations. The drawings underscore the fantastical elements in a film that combines the carnivalesque with a nightmarish exploration of the surreal.\n\nLead support for Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance is provided by Candy and Michael Barasch.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh\, Wilt has lived and worked in Ann Arbor since 1949 and completed two degrees (BFA\, ‘69 and MA\, ‘70) at the University of Michigan. She is an important figure in Ann Arbor’s art community\, who has consistently worked at fostering a vibrant arts community as an artist and educator in the Academy and beyond. She was an art professor for 17 years (1969-85) at the Eastern Michigan University. During this time she also organized and facilitated numerous community-engaged projects that empowered first-time and emerging artists to show their work. It was not until she retired and was well into her 70s that she turned her focus to her own art practice. Her work was duly recognized with numerous awards from the Michigan Water Color Society\, Washtenaw Council for the Arts\, and the Holland Friends of Art between 1984 and 1993.\n\nFor the first time in the last three decades\, Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt brings together over 40 carefully selected works from personal and private collections that highlight Wilt’s artistic contributions in Southeastern Michigan. Her intuitive and playful bricolage way of working reveals the scope of her achievement and her specific interest in the Michigan region and its landscape. She has developed multiple bodies of work that feature domestic objects from teapots to chairs while also reckoning with iconic architectural tropes of bridges and tunnels which are ongoing motifs in her work. Wilt continually experiments and explores new ways of working in a variety of two dimensional mediums including\, oil\, acrylic and watercolor. Since the 1970s she has incorporated collage into her practice using whatever materials she has available to her. These range from butcher paper\, aluminum foil\, and tissue to balsa wood\, toothpicks and other found objects.

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.

By refracting and distorting\, revealing and concealing\, these reflective and transparent surfaces both draw attention to the photographer’s efforts to frame the world and expose the contingent nature of reality. Highlights from the exhibition include works by Eugène Atget\, Robert Doisneau\, Elliott Erwitt\, Walker Evans\, André Kertész\, Joanne Leonard\, Danny Lyon\, and Joel Meyerowitz. By extending the limits of perception\, these witty and provocative works invite us to see [through to] new visual possibilities.\n\nLead support for See Through: Windows and Mirrors in Twentieth-Century Photography is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Labeled as ‘unknown’ or ‘anonymous\,’ African artists became associated with broad cultural styles and collective identities rather than personal creativity and individual agency. The exhibition Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa includes artworks from both named and unrecorded\, contemporary and historic artists to tell an alternative story. It explores how the changing attributes of an ‘African’ artist’s identity\, and constructions of African identity more broadly\, have shaped perceptions of Africa outside of the continent.\n\nLead support for Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of Afroamerican and African Studies and Susan Ullrich.

Pickle (CRES CHUANG)\, a night security guard at a bronze statue factory\, and Belly Button (BAMBOO CHEN)\, a recyclables collector\, are best friends. While trying to kill time on the long nights spent in the security room\, Belly Button suggests that they view the dash-camera footage of Pickle's rich boss\, Kevin (LEON DAI). Watching the promiscuous meetings Kevin has with various women\, they witness something they never should have known about. These images are like wormholes\, taking Pickle\, Belly Button\, and the viewer from one universe into another\, from the colourless existence of the poor and forgotten to the illuminated world of the powerful. -Toronto International Film Festival\, 2017.\n\nPurchase tickets ahead here: http://www.cinetopiafestival.org/show/the-great-buddha/\n\nSponsored by U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies and Confucius Institute at U-M UID:52463-12793951@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52463 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chinese Studies,Film LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180406T180242 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180602T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180602T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Saturday Sampler Tour | Health and Medicine DESCRIPTION:How was illness prevented and treated in the past?

With a capacity of 107\,601 the entire population of Ann Arbor fits in the stadium\, which fans affectionately call “The Big House.” Michigan football goes back to 1879\, and is known for its distinctive winged helmet and its fight song “The Victors.” But this direct-cinema documentary eschews gridiron grandeur to look closely at all the labor—from the cooks to the cops to the cleaners—that goes into hosting 100\,000 people. Shot against the backdrop of the 2016 election and the rise of Donald Trump\, it presents a microcosm of America by showing everything but the game.

His 2013 film Une danse des bouffons (or A jester's dance) tells the tale of a romance between two principal figures of these traditions: Dada icon Marcel Duchamp and Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins\, who was the model for Duchamp's final\, enigmatic artwork Étant donnés. Rife with art-historical references not only to the work of Duchamp but also to Francisco Goya\, Francis Picabia and Joseph Beuys\, among others\, Une danse des bouffons navigates a sexually charged and mesmerizing world in which fantasy and torture run amok. The gallery presentation also includes a storyboard for the film featuring Dzama’s ink and watercolor drawings\, renderings of small hybrid figures resembling children’s book illustrations. The drawings underscore the fantastical elements in a film that combines the carnivalesque with a nightmarish exploration of the surreal.\n\nLead support for Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance is provided by Candy and Michael Barasch.

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.

By refracting and distorting\, revealing and concealing\, these reflective and transparent surfaces both draw attention to the photographer’s efforts to frame the world and expose the contingent nature of reality. Highlights from the exhibition include works by Eugène Atget\, Robert Doisneau\, Elliott Erwitt\, Walker Evans\, André Kertész\, Joanne Leonard\, Danny Lyon\, and Joel Meyerowitz.

Labeled as ‘unknown’ or ‘anonymous\,’ African artists became associated with broad cultural styles and collective identities rather than personal creativity and individual agency. The exhibition Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa includes artworks from both named and unrecorded\, contemporary and historic artists to tell an alternative story. It explores how the changing attributes of an ‘African’ artist’s identity\, and constructions of African identity more broadly\, have shaped perceptions of Africa outside of the continent.\n\nLead support for Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative of reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community. UMMA docents will introduce the juxtaposed images and help connect the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity.\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Pickle (CRES CHUANG)\, a night security guard at a bronze statue factory\, and Belly Button (BAMBOO CHEN)\, a recyclables collector\, are best friends. While trying to kill time on the long nights spent in the security room\, Belly Button suggests that they view the dash-camera footage of Pickle's rich boss\, Kevin (LEON DAI). Watching the promiscuous meetings Kevin has with various women\, they witness something they never should have known about.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

His 2013 film Une danse des bouffons (or A jester's dance) tells the tale of a romance between two principal figures of these traditions: Dada icon Marcel Duchamp and Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins\, who was the model for Duchamp's final\, enigmatic artwork Étant donnés. Rife with art-historical references not only to the work of Duchamp but also to Francisco Goya\, Francis Picabia and Joseph Beuys\, among others\, Une danse des bouffons navigates a sexually charged and mesmerizing world in which fantasy and torture run amok. The gallery presentation also includes a storyboard for the film featuring Dzama’s ink and watercolor drawings\, renderings of small hybrid figures resembling children’s book illustrations. The drawings underscore the fantastical elements in a film that combines the carnivalesque with a nightmarish exploration of the surreal.\n\nLead support for Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance is provided by Candy and Michael Barasch.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh\, Wilt has lived and worked in Ann Arbor since 1949 and completed two degrees (BFA\, ‘69 and MA\, ‘70) at the University of Michigan. She is an important figure in Ann Arbor’s art community\, who has consistently worked at fostering a vibrant arts community as an artist and educator in the Academy and beyond. She was an art professor for 17 years (1969-85) at the Eastern Michigan University. During this time she also organized and facilitated numerous community-engaged projects that empowered first-time and emerging artists to show their work. It was not until she retired and was well into her 70s that she turned her focus to her own art practice. Her work was duly recognized with numerous awards from the Michigan Water Color Society\, Washtenaw Council for the Arts\, and the Holland Friends of Art between 1984 and 1993.\n\nFor the first time in the last three decades\, Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt brings together over 40 carefully selected works from personal and private collections that highlight Wilt’s artistic contributions in Southeastern Michigan. Her intuitive and playful bricolage way of working reveals the scope of her achievement and her specific interest in the Michigan region and its landscape. She has developed multiple bodies of work that feature domestic objects from teapots to chairs while also reckoning with iconic architectural tropes of bridges and tunnels which are ongoing motifs in her work. Wilt continually experiments and explores new ways of working in a variety of two dimensional mediums including\, oil\, acrylic and watercolor. Since the 1970s she has incorporated collage into her practice using whatever materials she has available to her. These range from butcher paper\, aluminum foil\, and tissue to balsa wood\, toothpicks and other found objects. She creates mixed media paintings\, cut outs\, rubbings and installations that reimagine the agency of mundane objects and invite viewers to look again.\n\nExhibition Dates: Thursday\, May 31 - Sunday\, September 9\, 2018\nExhibition Reception: Thursday\, May 31\, 2018 from 6-8 pm \nA conversation with Ellen Wilt: June 9\, 2018 from 2-3 pm UID:52089-12418603@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52089 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180308T135541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180605T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180605T170000 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.

By refracting and distorting\, revealing and concealing\, these reflective and transparent surfaces both draw attention to the photographer’s efforts to frame the world and expose the contingent nature of reality. Highlights from the exhibition include works by Eugène Atget\, Robert Doisneau\, Elliott Erwitt\, Walker Evans\, André Kertész\, Joanne Leonard\, Danny Lyon\, and Joel Meyerowitz. By extending the limits of perception\, these witty and provocative works invite us to see [through to] new visual possibilities.\n\nLead support for See Through: Windows and Mirrors in Twentieth-Century Photography is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Labeled as ‘unknown’ or ‘anonymous\,’ African artists became associated with broad cultural styles and collective identities rather than personal creativity and individual agency. The exhibition Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa includes artworks from both named and unrecorded\, contemporary and historic artists to tell an alternative story. It explores how the changing attributes of an ‘African’ artist’s identity\, and constructions of African identity more broadly\, have shaped perceptions of Africa outside of the continent.\n\nLead support for Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

This has resulted in the discovery of QCC374\, the first selective prostacyclin (IP) receptor agonist rationally designed for dry powder inhalation (DPI) for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Inhaled QCC374 offers high levels of lung exposure\, a long duration of action (via optimized cell-membrane affinity) and low systemic exposure (high plasma protein binding\, rapid clearance) and is currently in Ph2 trials.\n\nPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an orphan disease characterized by chronic elevation in pulmonary arterial pressure\, progressive pulmonary remodeling\, right heart failure\, and mortality. Despite major advances with the development of marketed therapies targeting three pathways: the endothelin\, nitric oxide (PDE5 and guanylate cyclase)\, and prostacyclin pathways\, PAH remains a fatal disease with a median survival from diagnosis of 7 years (Benza et al\, 2012).\n\nProstacyclin (IP) analogues confer antiproliferative\, vasodilatory\, and anti-inflammatory effects. Despite the precedent within this class of approved therapies (epoprostenol\, iloprost\, treprostinil\, beraprost & recently approved oral selexipag)\, all these agents have significant dose-limiting adverse events (AEs)\, ranging from headache and jaw pain to nausea/vomiting/diarrhea and hypotension\, that significantly impact the safety\, tolerability and efficacy of this class. The initiation of prostacyclin therapy is therefore delayed in many PAH patients\, with a subsequent negative effect on prognosis (Badagliacca et al 2012).\nWe believe with optimized membrane affinity and lung duration of action\, QCC374 has the attributes to demonstrate a class-leading profile\, differentiating from other marketed prostacyclin analogues\, with the potential for earlier and broader use across PAH.\n\nBadagliacca\, R.\, et al (2012) Prognostic factors in severe pulmonary hypertension patients who need parenteral prostanoid therapy: the impact of late referral.

His 2013 film Une danse des bouffons (or A jester's dance) tells the tale of a romance between two principal figures of these traditions: Dada icon Marcel Duchamp and Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins\, who was the model for Duchamp's final\, enigmatic artwork Étant donnés. Rife with art-historical references not only to the work of Duchamp but also to Francisco Goya\, Francis Picabia and Joseph Beuys\, among others\, Une danse des bouffons navigates a sexually charged and mesmerizing world in which fantasy and torture run amok. The gallery presentation also includes a storyboard for the film featuring Dzama’s ink and watercolor drawings\, renderings of small hybrid figures resembling children’s book illustrations.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh\, Wilt has lived and worked in Ann Arbor since 1949 and completed two degrees (BFA\, ‘69 and MA\, ‘70) at the University of Michigan. She is an important figure in Ann Arbor’s art community\, who has consistently worked at fostering a vibrant arts community as an artist and educator in the Academy and beyond. She was an art professor for 17 years (1969-85) at the Eastern Michigan University. During this time she also organized and facilitated numerous community-engaged projects that empowered first-time and emerging artists to show their work. It was not until she retired and was well into her 70s that she turned her focus to her own art practice. Her work was duly recognized with numerous awards from the Michigan Water Color Society\, Washtenaw Council for the Arts\, and the Holland Friends of Art between 1984 and 1993.\n\nFor the first time in the last three decades\, Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt brings together over 40 carefully selected works from personal and private collections that highlight Wilt’s artistic contributions in Southeastern Michigan. Her intuitive and playful bricolage way of working reveals the scope of her achievement and her specific interest in the Michigan region and its landscape. She has developed multiple bodies of work that feature domestic objects from teapots to chairs while also reckoning with iconic architectural tropes of bridges and tunnels which are ongoing motifs in her work. Wilt continually experiments and explores new ways of working in a variety of two dimensional mediums including\, oil\, acrylic and watercolor. Since the 1970s she has incorporated collage into her practice using whatever materials she has available to her. These range from butcher paper\, aluminum foil\, and tissue to balsa wood\, toothpicks and other found objects. She creates mixed media paintings\, cut outs\, rubbings and installations that reimagine the agency of mundane objects and invite viewers to look again.\n\nExhibition Dates: Thursday\, May 31 - Sunday\, September 9\, 2018\nExhibition Reception: Thursday\, May 31\, 2018 from 6-8 pm \nA conversation with Ellen Wilt: June 9\, 2018 from 2-3 pm UID:52089-12418604@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52089 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180308T135541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180606T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180606T170000 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.

By refracting and distorting\, revealing and concealing\, these reflective and transparent surfaces both draw attention to the photographer’s efforts to frame the world and expose the contingent nature of reality. Highlights from the exhibition include works by Eugène Atget\, Robert Doisneau\, Elliott Erwitt\, Walker Evans\, André Kertész\, Joanne Leonard\, Danny Lyon\, and Joel Meyerowitz.

Labeled as ‘unknown’ or ‘anonymous\,’ African artists became associated with broad cultural styles and collective identities rather than personal creativity and individual agency. The exhibition Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa includes artworks from both named and unrecorded\, contemporary and historic artists to tell an alternative story. It explores how the changing attributes of an ‘African’ artist’s identity\, and constructions of African identity more broadly\, have shaped perceptions of Africa outside of the continent.\n\nLead support for Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

For their powerful new album\, ‘The Wanting\,’ the band handed production duties over to acclaimed singer/songwriter Will Hoge\, who helped them create their most ambitious\, fully realized collection yet. Recorded in Nashville\, TN\, the record draws on many of the group’s traditional strengths—indelible melodies\, infectious hooks\, explosive performances—even as the making of it pushed them far outside their comfort zone and forced them to take an unprecedented\, nearly year-long break from touring.

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.

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.

His 2013 film Une danse des bouffons (or A jester's dance) tells the tale of a romance between two principal figures of these traditions: Dada icon Marcel Duchamp and Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins\, who was the model for Duchamp's final\, enigmatic artwork Étant donnés. Rife with art-historical references not only to the work of Duchamp but also to Francisco Goya\, Francis Picabia and Joseph Beuys\, among others\, Une danse des bouffons navigates a sexually charged and mesmerizing world in which fantasy and torture run amok. The gallery presentation also includes a storyboard for the film featuring Dzama’s ink and watercolor drawings\, renderings of small hybrid figures resembling children’s book illustrations. The drawings underscore the fantastical elements in a film that combines the carnivalesque with a nightmarish exploration of the surreal.\n\nLead support for Marcel Dzama: A Jester's Dance is provided by Candy and Michael Barasch. Additional generous support is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh\, Wilt has lived and worked in Ann Arbor since 1949 and completed two degrees (BFA\, ‘69 and MA\, ‘70) at the University of Michigan. She is an important figure in Ann Arbor’s art community\, who has consistently worked at fostering a vibrant arts community as an artist and educator in the Academy and beyond. She was an art professor for 17 years (1969-85) at the Eastern Michigan University. During this time she also organized and facilitated numerous community-engaged projects that empowered first-time and emerging artists to show their work. It was not until she retired and was well into her 70s that she turned her focus to her own art practice. Her work was duly recognized with numerous awards from the Michigan Water Color Society\, Washtenaw Council for the Arts\, and the Holland Friends of Art between 1984 and 1993.\n\nFor the first time in the last three decades\, Materials On Hand: The Art of Ellen Wilt brings together over 40 carefully selected works from personal and private collections that highlight Wilt’s artistic contributions in Southeastern Michigan. Her intuitive and playful bricolage way of working reveals the scope of her achievement and her specific interest in the Michigan region and its landscape. She has developed multiple bodies of work that feature domestic objects from teapots to chairs while also reckoning with iconic architectural tropes of bridges and tunnels which are ongoing motifs in her work. Wilt continually experiments and explores new ways of working in a variety of two dimensional mediums including\, oil\, acrylic and watercolor. Since the 1970s she has incorporated collage into her practice using whatever materials she has available to her. These range from butcher paper\, aluminum foil\, and tissue to balsa wood\, toothpicks and other found objects. She creates mixed media paintings\, cut outs\, rubbings and installations that reimagine the agency of mundane objects and invite viewers to look again.\n\nExhibition Dates: Thursday\, May 31 - Sunday\, September 9\, 2018\nExhibition Reception: Thursday\, May 31\, 2018 from 6-8 pm \nA conversation with Ellen Wilt: June 9\, 2018 from 2-3 pm UID:52089-12418605@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52089 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180308T135541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180607T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180607T170000 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.

By refracting and distorting\, revealing and concealing\, these reflective and transparent surfaces both draw attention to the photographer’s efforts to frame the world and expose the contingent nature of reality. Highlights from the exhibition include works by Eugène Atget\, Robert Doisneau\, Elliott Erwitt\, Walker Evans\, André Kertész\, Joanne Leonard\, Danny Lyon\, and Joel Meyerowitz. By extending the limits of perception\, these witty and provocative works invite us to see [through to] new visual possibilities.\n\nLead support for See Through: Windows and Mirrors in Twentieth-Century Photography is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Labeled as ‘unknown’ or ‘anonymous\,’ African artists became associated with broad cultural styles and collective identities rather than personal creativity and individual agency. The exhibition Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa includes artworks from both named and unrecorded\, contemporary and historic artists to tell an alternative story. It explores how the changing attributes of an ‘African’ artist’s identity\, and constructions of African identity more broadly\, have shaped perceptions of Africa outside of the continent.\n\nLead support for Unrecorded: Reimagining Artist Identities in Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of Afroamerican and African Studies and Susan Ullrich.

Among those who value originality\, inspiration\, eccentricity and character – as well as talent that hovers somewhere on the outskirts of genius\, the story of Paul Thorn is already familiar. Raised in Tupelo\, Mississippi\, among the same spirits (and some of the actual people) who nurtured the young Elvis generations before\, Paul Thorn has rambled down back roads and jumped out of airplanes\, worked for years in a furniture factory\, battled four-time world champion boxer Roberto Duran on national television\, signed with and been dropped by a major label\, performed on stages with Bonnie Raitt\, Mark Knopfler\, Sting\, and John Prine among many others\, and made some of the most emotionally restless yet fully accessible music of our time. He’s also appeared on major television shows such as Late Night with Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live\, been the subject of numerous National Public Radio (NPR) features and charted multiple times on the Billboard Top 100 and Americana Radioi Charts. This year\, Paul will be releasing an album titled Don’t Let the Devil Ride\, which he describes as “the culmination of my whole life in music\, coming back to my roots.” It marks his first time recording gospel music - featuring guests such as the Blind Boys of Alabama\, the McCrary Sisters\, and Preservation Hall Horns - and his creation of a body of strikingly original songs that address the foibles of human relationships without necessarily favoring the sacred over the profane.
