Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784159@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884161@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988468@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200107T121640 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200112T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200112T170000 SUMMARY:Other:FINAL DAY to take your pick!

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.  UID:63837-15901197@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63837 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191216T121633 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200112T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200112T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reflections: An Ordinary Day DESCRIPTION:UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Especially\, nanoscale periodic polar configurations in ferroic oxides called ferroelectric domains exhibit novel phenomena leading to an intense flurry of research interests. However\, as studies of functional responses to external stimuli have mainly focused on electric and mechanical responses\, a new and effective approach to manipulate these polar configurations is on demand. In this presentation\, I will discuss our efforts to investigate interaction of light with nanoscale domains and ferroelastic domain walls examined by in-situ and time-resolved x-ray diffraction experiments. By tracking temporal evolution of x-ray domain diffuse scattering\, we have found that structural transformation of ferroic domains is optically induced and exhibits nonthermal characteristics. I will also present theoretical considerations to investigate the underlying physics of the photoinduced transformation. \n UID:71126-17779236@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71126 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191223T161445 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200113T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200113T150000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Spectrum Center Open House DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the new Spectrum Center\, 3020 in the Michigan Union!\n\nThe Union officially reopens for the public on January 13th and we've carved out a little time to welcome folks into our space for food and friendship!

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784160@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884162@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988469@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190930T181751 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200114T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200114T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

We study one such brain region – the retrosplenial cortex. Though there is compelling evidence for the role of the retrosplenial cortex in spatial memory formation and retrieval\, little is known about how this brain region executes these functions. To understand the neural code employed by the retrosplenial cortex\, we performed large-scale electrophysiological recordings during sleep and wake states. Here\, we show that there exists a novel\, fast\, 140 Hz brain rhythm in the retrosplenial cortex during REM sleep and active behaviors. These rhythms demarcate high activity frames during REM sleep. Using whole cell physiology and computational modeling\, we show that these retrosplenial rhythms are mechanistically distinct from previously recognized fast rhythms such as ripples and gamma. Finally\, we show that retrosplenial 140 Hz rhythms are precisely modulated by running speed\, highlighting their central role in shaping the critical navigation and spatial memory functions of the retrosplenial cortex.

Since then\, hundreds of cold cases have been solved using similar investigative strategies. Critics argue that investigative genetic genealogy violates the privacy of direct-to-consumer genetic testing customers and their genetic relatives\, and some scholars worry that this will have a negative impact on data sharing in research and clinical care. During this session\, we will explore the ethical\, legal\, and social implications of law enforcement access to DNA data collected and shared for non-forensic purposes and how best to balance competing interests in promoting public trust and protecting public safety.\n\nAbout the seminar series:\nThe U-M Precision Health Seminar Series invites expert speakers to share meaningful\, relevant\, and late-breaking research on varied aspects of precision health. The interdisciplinary educational series\, which takes place monthly during the academic year\, features topics ranging from genetics to big data to health implementation (and much more) and is open to students\, faculty\, practitioners\, staff\, trainees\, and the general public. Our goal is to increase understanding of precision health data\, tools\, and applications\, to engage the academic community to enhance precision health research\, and to support the implementation of precision health to health systems.

For some\, this casts doubt on prominent conceptions of democracy that involve citizens making political choices based on policy considerations. In this paper\, we show that despite average instability in issue opinions\, voters can nevertheless make meaningful\, stable multidimensional political choices based on issue considerations. We draw on a new three-wave survey of the UK public that includes repeated measurements of issue-specific opinions and of the political choices respondents make when confronted with hypothetical candidates taking positions on those issues. We show that candidate choices made after 6 months and 12 months have nearly as strong relationships to self-reported issue positions as do the candidate choices made in the same wave as those self-reports\, and that choice stability is high when respondents choose between candidates who take clear and contrasting positions on the issues that respondents tend to care more about. Our findings demonstrate the mechanics underlying long-hypothesized theories of 'issue publics': stable political choices can arise from individuals making choices on the basis of the issues that they care about\, even when most people lack real attitudes on many issues.”\n\nThe goal of the Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods is to provide an interdisciplinary environment where researchers can present and discuss cutting-edge research in quantitative methodology. The talks are aimed at a broad audience\, with emphasis on conceptual rather than technical issues. The research presented is varied\, ranging from new methodological developments to applied empirical papers that use methodology in an innovative way. We welcome speakers and audiences from all disciplines and fields\, including the social\, natural\, biomedical\, and behavioral sciences.

Representation as we commonly know and experience it — as political\, scientific (including historical)\, artistic and mental — is torn and shorn by diaspora. Few diaspora Armenian artists see and seize this opportunity to create open-ended and radically interrogative works. Eulmessekian is one of them. His film invites seeing and hearing deeply by painstakingly skirting along the edges of ‘historical\,’ ‘documentary\,’ ‘natural\,’ ‘realistic\,’ ‘monolingual\,’ ‘familial\,’ and ‘everyday’ representations. The film features Vahé Oshagan reading and commenting on his poetry\, as well as analysis of his work by well known literary critics. Ultimately\, encountering Eulmessekian’s work amounts to experiencing the uncanny effect of diasporic emergence from arrested representation. \n\nThe screening will be followed by an artist talk. Hrayr Eulmessekian will reflect on the various strands of his work and the way they have been perceived and received by curated gallery spaces around the world. The evening will conclude with a panel discussion joined by Taline Voskeritchian.\n\nBeirut born artist and filmmaker Hrayr Eulmessekian’s works have been exhibited\, screened\, or broadcasted in cities around the world. A founding member of the San Francisco Armenian Film Festival\, he serves on its curatorial team. He was the guest editor of the 2014 Spring issue of ArteEast Quarterly. Eulmessekian is the recipient of the major grants from MGM/UA\, Grants for the Arts San Francisco\, New York Foundation for the Arts\, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.\n\nTaline Voskeritchian’s prose and translations (from Arabic and Armenian) have appeared in literary reviews in North America\, Europe\, and the Middle East. In April 2011\, as part of the international delegation of writers to Palestine Festival of Literature\, she conducted writing/translation workshops in Palestinian universities. For the 2016 and 2017 fall semesters\, she taught writing at the American University of Armenia\, Yerevan. Currently she teaches writing and literature at Boston University.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784161@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884163@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs.

The focus of this exploration has typically been on simulation data. However\, applications also produce ephemeral data that is optionally written to disk for post hoc analysis\, but not otherwise saved or utilized by the application in subsequent time steps. One example of ephemeral data is runtime performance data. In this talk I will present the infrastructure implemented for efficiently collecting this and other data within the Uintah framework which was coupled to VisIt’s in situ toolkit for analysis and visualization. This collection and coupling allows performance data to be visualized using multiple domains giving insight previously not possible. As part this coupling\, we take advantage of VisIt’s in situ custom user interface to create a “simulation dashboard” that allows for in situ computational steering and visual debugging allowing for improvements in the development and simulation workflow.\n\nBio: Allen Sanderson\, Ph.D. is a Research Scientist at the University of Utah’s Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute.

There\, FLA play important roles in regulating microbial populations\, as they feed on bacteria and other small eukaryotes by a mechanism involving ingestion by phagocytosis. It is thought that this predatory pressure favored – on multiple occasion – the adaption of several microorganisms (mainly bacteria) to the intracellular lifestyle\, by stimulating the arising of resistance mechanisms against phagocytosis.\n\nThus\, we aim to study FLA and their associations with microorganisms\, as it stands out as pertinent model not only for better understanding the establishment of symbioses\, but also for decrypting mechanisms employed by several bacterial pathogens thriving within eukaryotic cells.

In the first part I will present an effective response theory for topological driven (Floquet) systems\, which are inherently far from equilibrium. As an example\, I will discuss a topological chiral Floquet drive coupled to a background $U(1)$ field\, which gives rise to a theta term in the effective action. In the second part\, I will discuss an ongoing project using effective field theories for hydrodynamics. I will show that chiral diffusion for interacting systems in 1+1 dimensions\, which may be relevant to edge transport in quantum Hall systems\, has an infrared instability. I will then discuss the fate of this instability.

Modeling Ion Engine Erosion and Quantifying Lifetime Margins and Uncertainty DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSolar electric propulsion (EP) is a key technology for human and robotic space missions\, and is part of NASA’s vision for expanding human presence beyond low earth orbit. The high specific impulse of EP enables reductions in propellant mass\, but at the price of long burn times. Deep space missions re-quire operating times of many 104 hours. Demonstrating that the thruster meets this requirement is a challenge. Multiple life tests of the full mission duration are not practical. The life capability must be demonstrated by combining physics-based modeling and short duration testing.\n JPL developed the CEX2D and CEX3D codes to model erosion of ion accelerator systems in ion engines\, a dominant failure mechanism. The codes model a primary ion beamlet and charge exchange (CEX) ions from the beamlet. Impingement of main\, beamlet\, and CEX ions on the grids then determine erosion rates. The models predict time-to-failure\, but key questions include: What is the uncertainty in those estimates? How much margin is needed to account for the uncertainties? Estimating uncertainty in experiments is routine\, but the modeling community is still developing techniques for estimating errors. In this talk we discuss the physical processes of ion engine grid erosion\, how they are modeled\, and methods for quantifying model uncertainty and required life margins.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Polk is a Principal Engineer in the Propulsion\, Materials\, and Thermal Engineering Section at the Jet Propulsion Lab\, and a lecturer in Aerospace Engr. at Caltech. He received a BS in Aero. Engr. at Georgia Tech and a PhD in Mech. & Aero. Engr. from Princeton. Dr. Polk is an expert in high-current cathode physics\, EP wear processes\, high power EP\, and probabilistic methods to analyze engine life. He was the task manager for an 8200 hour wear test of a 2.3 kW ion engine as used on the Deep Space 1 mission\, was a co-investigator in the Next Generation Ion Propulsion Program and principal investigator of the Nuclear Electric Xenon Ion System program. From 1997 to 2001 he was supervisor of the Advanced Propulsion Group at JPL. He now manages JPL’s high power EP tasks and is the Deputy Ion Propulsion System Lead for the Advanced EP System for the Lunar Gateway. He has authored over 100 papers and has received 7 best paper awards at the Intl. EP Conference and the Joint Propulsion Conference.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

How has the absurd shaped Oshagan’s works over time? How has it influenced his paradoxical and provocative reappropriation of myth as a mode of witnessing the tragically absurd human existence? Dr. Jallatyan will elaborate on the problematic of the absurd (meaninglessness) as being inspired by a post-World War II European preoccupation with existentialism. By tracing the transformations of these configurations in Oshagan’s meta-historiographic and meta-allegorical works from the 1970s and 1980s\, Dr. Jallatyan will pay special attention to how the problematic of the absurd shaped Oshagan’s poetics and conception of language. The lecture will conclude with a discussion on decisive and singular features of Oshagan’s dynamic mode of negotiating difference for a diasporic culture. \n\nKaren Jallatyan received his PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of California\, Irvine in 2019. His dissertation\, entitled “Becoming Diaspora: Global Armenian Literature and Film after 1950\,” draws attention to the specifically post-national and post-catastrophic nature of diasporic Armenian culture in Western Armenian. It argues that finding ways to let Western Armenian language and literature thrive in a multicultural context is the only adequate response to the needs of this surviving culture.\n\nImage: Cover of Crossroads («Քառուղի»)\, Vahé Oshagan\, Beirut\, 1971.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784162@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884164@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190930T181751 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

In response to letters from a Black neuroscience major and a non-binary biochemistry and biophysics major\, every STEM department wrote a letter of support\, pledging to work with students to address their concerns. The following semester\, Chemistry professor Sheila Jaswal collaborated with students to develop a project-based course\, titled “Being Human in STEM” (HSTEM)\, to actively engage STEM students and departments in learning about and enhancing inclusion in STEM settings. Now in its sixth iteration\, students drive the academic inquiry\, investigating both the local experience and the literature on diversity in STEM. They then use that research to design tools and interventions to share with and enhance their own STEM community.  In this seminar\, Professor Jaswal will describe how HSTEM course projects and activities have continued the conversation started by students during the Uprising\, connected STEM inclusion efforts across the Amherst campus\, and produced resources such as the “Inclusive Curricular Practices” handbook\, that have been used by STEM educators from high schools\, colleges\, universities\, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Inclusive Excellence institutions. She will present evidence on the impact of the HSTEM course and practices on students\, faculty and staff at Amherst\, and provide examples of how a growing network of institutions\, including Yale\, Brown\, Williams\, and the University of Utah\, are adapting the HSTEM model to their own STEM community needs. \n\nPlease visit website for more information on speaker: http://www.beinghumaninstem.com/sheila-jaswal.html UID:69259-17275351@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Astronomy,Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biophysics,Biophysics Program,Biosciences,Chemistry,Complex Systems,Diversity,Diversity Equity And Inclusion,Ecology,Life Science,Mathematics,Mechanical Engineering,Natural Sciences,Pharmacy,Physics,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Science LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheater -4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191223T132827 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:Celebrating MLK DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr’s birthday\, the Grosse Ile Quartet presents a program in honor of his life and legacy.

Against the background of long-term economic downturn\, growing social precarity\, and nuclear anxiety\, Abe’s recently published book investigates how this seemingly outdated means of advertisement has recently gained traction as an aesthetic\, economic\, and political practice after decades of inactivity. Drawing on the book\, this presentation will address the central analytic hibiki (resonance)\, which highlights the processes in which chindon-ya’s sound is designed to elicit an affective response from a listener who simply “overhears” chindon-ya in public spaces.\n \nMarié Abe is Associate Professor of Music in the Department of Musicology and Ethnomusicology at Boston University. Broadly speaking\, her scholarship explores the intersection of sound\, space\, and sociality\, bridging sound studies and cultural human geography. Her recent projects examine the politics of sound in social movements\, in the contexts of anti-US military movements in Okinawa and post-3.11 Japan\, as well as the musical and historical affinity between Japan and Ethiopia in the 20th century.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Their growth paralleled the rise of the office worker\, women’s evolving roles in the work force\, immigration\, American love of efficiency and novelty\, the growth of cities\, the impact of Prohibition and the Depression\, the labor movement\, and American eating habits. Not one cafeteria from that era remains in New York City today. One particular restaurant\, Dubrow’s Cafeteria in Brooklyn\, was a legendary institution that served as a second home for many of the neighborhood’s elderly residents. Along with another Dubrow’s\, a hub of the Garment Center\, they provided a restaurant cum social club or “third place” for a generation of Jewish New Yorkers.\nNew York City-based photographer Marcia Bricker Halperin documented Dubrow’s and other cafeterias in their waning days\, drawn to the memorable faces and the liveliness and sorrow of urban life in that vanished world.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

The history of Mars\, in particular\, is one of dramatic change that transformed a hospitable environment into the barren land we know today. Deciphering Mars’ geologic past using data from orbiting and landed spacecraft requires using and adapting theory and techniques that were developed for Earth. In return\, Mars offers a unique test for Earth-based theory under alien boundary conditions. In this presentation\, I demonstrate how a mechanistic understanding of surface processes sheds light onto Martian paleohydrology and paleoclimate through two examples: the erosion of bedrock canyons by water\, and the formation of sand ripples by winds. Our results have surprising implications for our understanding of terrestrial landscapes and Mars’ potential as a refugium for early life in the Solar System.

Precision medicine is a movement in clinical practice that seeks to develop therapies tailored for specific patients or subsets of patients. As mounting evidence suggests that the “one size fits all” approach to medicine is ineffective\, my future lab seeks to exploit biomaterials as in vitro culture tools or implantable devices in vivo to understand how patient-specific variables may impact disease onset\, progression\, and treatment. In my talk\, I will describe my past\, present\, and future work in precision biomaterials. During my graduate training with Prof. Lonnie Shea at Northwestern University\, I developed implantable biomaterial scaffolds for the recruitment and early detection of metastatic cancer cells\, which may serve as a platform to capture disseminating tumor cells for downstream precision medicine applications. My current postdoctoral research with Prof. Kristi Anseth at the University of Colorado Boulder is focused on engineering personalized in vitro disease models of aortic valve stenosis using serum from individual aortic valve stenosis patients to culture valve and cardiac fibroblasts and hydrogels as extracellular matrix mimics. I will also share my outlook for future work in exploring sex differences in cardiovascular disorders using precision biomaterials. In sum\, precision biomaterials may serve as tools to improve our understanding of how patient-specific variables impact disease mechanisms and guide more effective diagnostics and treatments for individual patients or subsets of patients.

German\nLangley Associate Professor\nSchool of Aerospace Engineering\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\n\nThe era of electric flight has dawned. Battery specific energy is now reaching levels at which electric aircraft propulsion is feasible for short ranged missions\, and entirely new aviation markets are blossoming by taking advantage of the reduced operating costs of electric aircraft. Electric drones are ubiquitous\, electric flight training aircraft are in production\, and—ushering in the era of urban air mobility—electric urban air taxis are nearing certification. \n\nThis talk will present recent research focused on the conceptual design\, analysis\, and operations of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for urban air mobility (UAM). Specific topics include the development of a battery model appropriate for aircraft sizing and an investigation of the flight performance of canonical eVTOL aircraft configurations. Operations research topics for UAM including demand modeling\, vertiport placement optimization\, and flight scheduling will also be discussed. The talk will conclude by highlighting research and educational opportunities related to electric flight and urban air mobility.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nBrian German is director of the Georgia Tech Center for Urban and Regional Air Mobility (CURAM) and the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) Langley Associate Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Aerospace Engineering. He specializes in configuration design of electric aircraft\, battery electric propulsion modeling\, and operations research problems for innovative scheduled and on-demand air services. His work focuses primarily on new types of electric regional aircraft and eVTOL aircraft for urban air mobility. Prof. German is a founding member and former Chair (2014-2016) of the AIAA Transformational Flight Program Committee\, which was chartered to explore the opportunities of emerging aircraft electric propulsion technologies\, and he is a member of the AIAA Aircraft Electric Propulsion and Power Working Group.

Given the limitations of parent-report measures for assessing the intermittent\, interactive\, and immersive modern media experiences\, Dr. Radesky’s research has attempted to develop novel methods for assessing media use within the family context. Dr. Radesky will review her initial research examining parent mobile device use in public settings and through videorecorded interactions\; discuss development of novel passive sensing methods for assessing the daily patterns of family mobile device use\; and present results from content coding and data privacy analysis. Implications for future research and clinical recommendations will be discussed.\n\nDr. Radesky is an Assistant Professor of Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics at the University of Michigan Medical School. She received her M.D. from Harvard Medical School\, trained in Pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Hospital\, and completed subspecialty training in Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics at Boston Medical Center. Her NIH-funded research examines parent smartphone use and parent-child interaction\, as well as how child self-regulation\, mobile device use\, and interactive media content interact through the preschool years. She was the lead author of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines about media use by young children in 2016. Dr. Radesky also sees patients in Developmental Behavioral Pediatric Clinic at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Ypsilanti Health Center\, where her clinical work focuses on autism\, traumatic stress\, ADHD\, and self-regulation.

Their growth paralleled the rise of the office worker\, women’s evolving roles in the work force\, immigration\, American love of efficiency and novelty\, the growth of cities\, the impact of Prohibition and the Depression\, the labor movement\, and American eating habits. Not one cafeteria from that era remains in New York City today. One particular restaurant\, Dubrow’s Cafeteria in Brooklyn\, was a legendary institution that served as a second home for many of the neighborhood’s elderly residents. Along with another Dubrow’s\, a hub of the Garment Center\, they provided a restaurant-cum-social club or “third place” for a generation of Jewish New Yorkers. New York City-based photographer Marcia Bricker Halperin documented Dubrow’s and other cafeterias in their waning days\, drawn to the memorable faces and the liveliness and sorrow of urban life in that vanished world.\n\nCosponsors: Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Department of Women’s Studies UID:69471-17327206@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69471 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition LOCATION:Lane Hall - Lane Hall Gallery, 1st Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T120307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:No EEB Thursday Seminar DESCRIPTION:Please return on January 23\, 2020\, for our next seminar!

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nThe field of Positive Organizational Scholarship asks what people\, groups\, and organizations are like when at their very best. Researchers in the field scientifically examine the best of the human condition. This means researchers use science to learn from excellence. For 18 years\, Quinn has been teaching executives how to understand and apply these accumulating scientific findings. In the process\, he has become increasingly aware that in the world of practice\, like the world of science\, most people do not attend to or learn from excellence. They learn from failure while seeking to reproduce order. In this participative session\, Quinn will explore three questions:\n1. What does it mean to learn from excellence? \n2. How does learning from excellence alter leadership and culture? \n3. What can we do to learn from and create social excellence? \n\nAbout Quinn:\nRobert E. Quinn is the Margaret Elliot Tracy Collegiate Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. His research and writing focus on purpose\, leadership\, culture\, and change. He is one of the co-founders of the field of Positive Organizational Scholarship and a co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations.\n\nIn terms of research\, he is in the top 1% of professors cited in organizational behavior textbooks. He has published 18 books. As a teacher\, Quinn is the recipient of multiple awards. In a recent global survey\, he was named one of the top speakers in the world on the topic of organizational culture and related issues. Last year\, his talk on personal purpose went viral on Facebook and has been viewed over 16 million times.\n\nHost: \nGretchen Spreitzer\, Keith E. and Valerie J.

So far the singer-songwriter and violinist has appeared in 43 states and 7 countries – she’s graced the stage of renowned venues like Nashville’s Music City Roots\, The Kennedy Center and House of Blues Chicago. Lea performs from her electric wheelchair. She began playing the violin 25 years ago after a creative music teacher helped her to adapt a playing style that suits her frame. Lea holds her instrument like a tiny cello and loops her classically trained rhythms and melodies with her Memory Man pedal to create a “symphonic cacophony that is both glorious in its reach and profoundly introspective\,” Her original songs explore the contrasting nature of existence – dark and light\, birth and death\, anger and forgiveness\, sorrow and joy. In addition to performing and recording\, Lea also does speaking engagements about disability rights\, finding inner freedom\, and accessibility in the arts. In recent years\, she has used her music as a platform to advocate for people with disabilities and to promote positive social change.

Putrefaction \"pre-digests\" meat without the need for cooking. Anaerobic bacteria rapidly colonize decomposing meat\, inhibiting the germination of pathogens such as *Clostridium botulinum* (botulism). Bacterial fermentation also prevents fats from becoming rancid and preserves vitamin C\, eliminating the threat of scurvy. Psychological studies indicate that the revulsion shown by Euro-Americans toward putrid meat is learned\, not hard-wired\, and emerges surprisingly late in children.\n\nAbundant ethnohistoric evidence shows that rotted meat was not a starvation food but a prized and nutritionally vital component of forager diets in northern environments. I suggest that eating rotted meat would have been of similar importance to Eurasian Neanderthals and modern humans occupying broadly similar environments and subsisting on heavily meat-based diets. I then briefly explore the implications of these ideas for understanding the later Pleistocene archaeological and isotopic record in northern Eurasia.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.\nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit miarch.org.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Most methods assume that we observe all confounders\, variables that affect both the causal variables and the outcome variables. But whether we have observed all confounders is a famously untestable assumption. We describe the deconfounder\, a way to do causal inference from observational data allowing for unobserved confounding.\n\nHow does the deconfounder work? The deconfounder is designed for problems of multiple causal inferences: scientific studies that involve many causes whose effects are simultaneously of interest. The deconfounder uses the correlation among causes as evidence for unobserved confounders\, combining unsupervised machine learning and predictive model checking to perform causal inference. We study the theoretical requirements for the deconfounder to provide unbiased causal estimates\, along with its limitations and tradeoffs. We demonstrate the deconfounder on real-world data and simulation studies.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784163@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884165@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931521@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200119T230127 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civil Rights through the Lens of Declan Haun DESCRIPTION:A collection of photos capturing some of the most important events during the civil rights movement.

The coverage of each scenario is captured by an individual submodular function\, where the scenario is said to be covered when its function value goes above a given threshold. We obtain a logarithmic factor approximation algorithm for this adaptive ranking problem\, which is the best possible (unless P = NP). This problem unifies and generalizes many previously studied problems with applications in search ranking and active learning. The approximation ratio of our algorithm either matches or improves the best result known in each of these special cases. Furthermore\, we extend our results to an adaptive vehicle routing problem\, where costs are determined by an underlying metric. This routing problem is a significant generalization of the previously-studied adaptive traveling salesman and traveling repairman problems. Our approximation ratio nearly matches the best bound known for these special cases. Finally\, we present experimental results for some applications of adaptive ranking.\n\nBio:\nFatemeh Navidi is a fifth year PhD student in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan\, advised by Professor Viswanath Nagarajan. Her research interests include Combinatorial Optimization Under Uncertainty\, Design and Analysis of Adaptive Approximation Algorithms and Machine Learning.

At the same time\, technologies collectively labelled as brain-computer interfaces have moved forward\, motivated by needs for assistive tools for neurologically impaired people and to advance our fundamental understanding of the brain. An applied example would be the use of electronic means to read out directly from the brain the intention to move an arm or a hand\, and to decipher such signals to actuate an external robotic device. Another example is the\nreading out brain signals produced when listening to or formulating speech. To access brain’s microcircuits at high space-time resolution requires implantation of electronic listening posts\, call them nodes\, at a number of nearby locations in a given functional area of the cortex. Which brings up the question of the day for neuroengineers: how many nodes might be required or are possible to implant\, and how does one physically implement arrays of microscale electronic probes? What are the data rates involved in extracting brain signals and how to design a communication link to send the data onward for decoding by external computing platforms? What about reversing the direction of the process to use implanted probes to deliver signals directly into the brain (‘write-in’)? Through contemporary examples\, this presentation will review recent accomplishments in the field from an electrical engineer’s viewpoint and discuss both the challenges and opportunities ahead to build next generations of brain-computer interfaces while explicitly exploiting many of the early 21st century advances in microelectronics\, telecommunication\, and high end computing.\n\nBio\n\nArto V.

Findings indicate that identifiers did not perceive NASCAR to be high in prestige (compared to other similar collectives) and that their identification was predicted\, primarily\, by “Perceived Opportunity for Authentic Self-Expression” with NASCAR. In addition\, across both studies\, evidence indicates that “patriotism” – a personal value that was difficult for fans to affirm elsewhere – was the most important value that fans perceived they could “self-express” when interacting with NASCAR. These findings suggest that individuals may identify with moderate prestige collectives because they provide rare opportunities to express values that are part of their authentic selves\, and thus\, satisfy these individuals’ “needs for authenticity.” UID:70693-17619582@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70693 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Interdisciplinary LOCATION:Ross School of Business - RO220 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191204T162609 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T160000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:+Impact Studio Winter Open House DESCRIPTION:The +Impact Studio space is a campus hub for design and impact\, located on the second floor of the Executive Learning & Conference Center.  It is designed to be a collaboration area\, and it will serve an educational community passionate about design for impact.   Drop by and see the new space\, enjoy some food\, and invite your friends!  Any time between 2 and 4 pm.\n\nInformation about the space will be provided via video screens and printed materials\, and the event will feature interactive activities.

Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback\, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

Convection of the Earth’s silicate mantle is qualitatively regarded as the primary driving force for tectonic processes\; however\, the manner in which this integrated system operates remains fundamentally unclear. A critical obstacle is our lack of understanding the first-order\, dynamical nature of mantle convection. Seismological observations are increasingly finding evidence for compositional and thermal heterogeneity over multiple length scales within Earth’s mantle. However\, the manner in which this heterogeneity affects mantle dynamics remains poorly understood\, and several competing hypotheses of large-scale\, thermochemical mantle convection currently exist. It is important to distinguish which\, if any\, of these conceptual models are representative of the actual Earth because each has significantly different consequences toward our understanding of heat and mass transport\, thermal and chemical evolution\, and the driving forces that generate plate tectonics. Numerical modeling of mantle convection\, combined with seismic\, geochemical\, and geologic observations\, provides a powerful tool to explore the dynamical feasibility of particular hypotheses and to provide observational predictions that can be tested by geophysical methods. Here\, I will review recent progress toward discovering the nature of large-scale mantle convection within Earth’s interior by combining geodynamical modeling with geochemical and seismological observations of compositional heterogeneity within the mantle.

Spoken English interpretation will be provided.\n\nABSTRACT\nThe term “intersectionality” appears frequently in the popular and academic discourse\, but the definition is unclear to many people. Intersectionality\, coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw\, is defined as “the interlocking nature of social categorizations that are relevant to a given individual or group subjected to systemic oppression and discrimination.” Through the case of Black ASL and Black Deaf individuals’ experiences\, the audience will better understand the elements of intersectionality and the interconnection of the U.S. educational\, political\, and cultural institutions from 1860s to present. The audience will come away with a deeper understanding of the relationship between systemic oppression and intersectionality and with a willingness to move toward social justice and liberation.\n\nAccessibility: \nRamp entrances are located on the NE and NW side of building.

The development and deployment of promising\, low-carbon energy technologies that could facilitate this transition—including nuclear power—is severely constrained by non-technical factors\, including economics\, but especially socio-political factors. This talk will present two new\, interdisciplinary methods for evaluating some of these constraints. First\, recent research on the performance of U.S. advanced fission innovation will be presented: this research has generated a new approach for evaluating technology development programs sponsored by the federal government. Second\, insights will be presented from a recent study on the role of public opposition in constraining the deployment of nuclear power for decarbonization. This research is being extended to endogenously integrate societal preferences regarding energy technologies into energy system optimization models. Failure to integrate socio-political constraints leads to mathematically feasible\, but socially unacceptable\, decarbonization pathways\, rendering greenhouse gas mitigation yet more difficult. This new wave of research\, grounded in industrial engineering and the decision sciences\, seeks to inform the design of emerging energy systems and to improve decision making by technology developers\, policy makers\, and researchers. \n\nSpeaker Bio\nAhmed Abdulla is Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. His research investigates the deployment of emerging energy systems\; specifically\, it optimizes the design of these energy systems and seeks to integrate real-world constraints into energy system models. Dr. Abdulla’s work has been supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation\, among others. Results from his research have been published in leading journals\, including \"Nature Climate Change\" and the \"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\;\" they have also been featured in the \"Wall Street Journal\,\" \"Bloomberg News\" and \"The Los Angeles Times.\" Prior to Carnegie Mellon\, Dr. Abdulla was Assistant Research Scientist in the Center for Energy Research at the University of California\, San Diego. He holds a PhD in Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University and a BS in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor.\n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\n>> About the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people.

Refreshments will be served. At 6:15pm there will be a special performance by Detroit-based artist Sacramento Knoxx in collaboration with Bianca Millar & White Feather Woman.\n\nTaking a Stand is a group exhibition that brings together lively and energetic work that highlights the ways in which artists build solidarity and shape contemporary culture as active participants in our society. The works in the exhibition encompass photography\, interactive drawings\, augmented reality\, and 3-D film installation. The collectivist impulse of the projects recast the gallery as a catalyst\, a site of action and possibility for urgent and meaningful dialogue on culture and politics. The immersive and interactive installations don’t just represent social concerns from our cosmopolitan present\, they delve into playful and poetic exchanges with public audiences on empathy and decoloniality to imagine just and equitable futures. Drawing on the themes of science fiction\, artists in the exhibition invite audiences to time travel\, blurring fact with fiction\, weaving fantastical narratives and desires with ancestral knowledge\, collective memories\, and stories from their natural and urban environments. They acknowledge the vitality of recuperating Indigenous\, migrant\, and LGBTQ subjectivities and practices to better understand how to heal our damaged planet. Even though these installations are temporary and ephemeral\, they foster vibrant liminal spaces for the public to explore what could be done during this time of ever-present ecological and political change. Taking a Stand is curated by Srimoyee Mitra.\n\nImage: Meryl McMaster\, Cartography of the Unseen (detail)\, 2019. \n\nPlease RSVP to reserve your place for this free event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/taking-a-stand-exhibition-opening-reception-tickets-86579925889 UID:70657-17613298@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70657 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Music,Reception LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200114T125812 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T210000 SUMMARY:Performance:Ovid's Metamorphoses in a Modern Theatrical Adaptation by Mary Zimmerman DESCRIPTION:Mary Zimmerman’s stage adaptation of The Metamorphoses\n\nDirected and produced by U-M Residential College Drama students Sammi Doll and Riley Russell\n\nUnder guidance from RC Drama Faculty Head\, Kate Mendeloff\, and Keene Theater Manager\, Rudy Thomas\n\n>>>>> Performances:\nFriday\, January 17 at 7pm\nSaturday\, January 18 at 7pm\nSunday\, January 19 at 7pm\n\nAll performances at the Keene Theater\, 701 East University.

During his years as lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket\, the band’s elegant folk/pop sound and his honest\, introspective lyrics helped them forge a close bond with their fans. Since starting his solo career\, Phillips has pared his music down to its emotional core\, concentrating on the simple truths of love and relationships\, with a profound spiritual understanding.\n\nThe zeitgeist is a moving target\, and Chris Barron has always been a crack shot. The New York songwriter is no longer the debutant who set out on the circuit’s sharp end in 1988 with $100\, a battered acoustic and a headful of the alt-rock anthems that would elevate Spin Doctors to global stardom. He’s a veteran approaching 50\, living in a world changed beyond recognition\, compelled to write the music that chronicles the here-and-now.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784164@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988473@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190930T181751 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200118T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200118T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

In the books\, King interviews fellow queer and trans artists of color about their work\, their lives\, and “making it” - both in terms of success and in terms of survival. Each event features a guest artist who will speak about their own practice and lead a group discussion on a topic from the book. Everyone is welcome to attend.\n\nThe Queer & Trans Artists of Color Book Read Event Series is organized by Stamps Gallery and presented in partnership with the U-M Spectrum Center with support from the Ann Arbor District Library. It is sponsored by the U-M Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion.\n\nPurchase copies of the Queer & Trans Artists of Color books here.\n\nFor more information about this event or the Queer & Trans Artists of Color Book Read Event Series contact\, Stamps Gallery Outreach and Public Engagement Coordinator Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan at jenjkhan@umich.edu or (734) 615-5322.\n\nAbout Taking a Stand\n\nTaking a Stand is a group exhibition that brings together lively and energetic work that highlights the ways in which artists build solidarity and shape contemporary culture as active participants in our society. The works in the exhibition encompass photography\, interactive drawings\, augmented reality\, and 3-D film installation. The collectivist impulse of the projects recast the gallery as a catalyst\, a site of action and possibility for urgent and meaningful dialogue on culture and politics. The immersive and interactive installations don’t just represent social concerns from our cosmopolitan present\, they delve into playful and poetic exchanges with public audiences on empathy and decoloniality to imagine just and equitable futures. Drawing on the themes of science fiction\, artists in the exhibition invite audiences to time travel\, blurring fact with fiction\, weaving fantastical narratives and desires with ancestral knowledge\, collective memories\, and stories from their natural and urban environments. They acknowledge the vitality of recuperating Indigenous\, migrant\, and LGBTQ subjectivities and practices to better understand how to heal our damaged planet. Even though these installations are temporary and ephemeral\, they foster vibrant liminal spaces for the public to explore what could be done during this time of ever-present ecological and political change. Taking a Stand is curated by Srimoyee Mitra.\n\nDownload printable PDF schedule of events for this series: Queer & Trans Artists of Color Book Read Series: January 18\, February 8\, and March 14 \n\nPlease RSVP to reserve your place for this free event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/exhibition-tour-queer-trans-artists-of-color-book-read-event-1-tickets-85182975573 UID:70658-17613299@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70658 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200130T092006 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200118T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200118T153000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star talks will examine the night sky with its slowly changing constellations\, bright planets\, and a short journey to visit far-away objects.\n\nThe new Planetarium & Dome Theater has comfortable seating for 57 visitors and space for up to 9 wheelchairs\, easy-access seats\, and a limited number of hearing assistance devices.

This music (generically known as kugak\, national music) can be soothing and calm\, brash and jarring\, mysterious and provocative\; it is all the substance of nature and humanity in expressive\, resonant form. The roots of Korean genres are diverse. Aristocratic genres draw on the strong influence of China’s silk and bamboo repertoire\, shamanic rhythms\, melodies and textures form the foundation for folk performance\, and the exuberance and anguish of everyday life shape the roots of folk song. In this performance/lecture\, we take you on a journey through the sonorities of Korea’s musical tradition with a focus on four instruments: the 12-string zither\, kayagŭm\; the large transverse bamboo flute\, taegŭm\; the two-string spike fiddle\, haegŭm\; the hourglass-shaped drum\, changgu (three of which are present in the Stearns collection). Through presentations of solo and ensemble repertoire\, we will explore the sound aesthetics embodied through instrument form as well as the ways by which instrument sound can diversify depending on performance history and context. The aesthetics of Korean court and folk-based genres include emphasis on melodic line progression\, microtonal shadings\, asymmetrical and additive rhythmic cycles\, and heterophonic texture for ensemble performance. The presentation is a rare opportunity to experience Korean traditional performance in an accessible and open setting.\n\nCosponsored by the U-M Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
