This exhibit highlights the possibilities for exploration and discovery within the library’s collections, which are impressive on many levels. The sheer number of materials, including more than 8.5 million volumes in locations all over campus, and access to millions of digital books, journals and images, makes it one of the largest university library systems in the United States. The collection encompasses ancient documents written on papyrus, electronic journals reporting on the latest advances in science and medicine, and materials from nearly every period, culture, and way of thought in between.

This course is designed to provide an evidence-based update on integrative approaches to common health concerns for practicing primary care providers. Integrative Medicine is the sythesis of conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine therapies. It is a philosophy and a way of providing health care that reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing. Integrative Medicine focuses on promoting wellness within the patient, as well as the provider.

The Labadie Collection is the world’s largest publicly accessible research collection covering just about every 19th, 20th, and 21st century protest movement that can be documented on paper, from the French Revolution to Occupy Wall Street. It has served as a resource for thousands of people the world over, from high school students to seasoned researchers, from young activists in search of their roots to documentary filmmakers unearthing eye-catching images. Books, serials, manuscripts, pamphlets, photographs, audio recordings, posters, and political buttons are all part of this eclectic group of materials.

The tiny dramas that comprise Robert Wilson's Video 50 contain aspects of his hallmark aesthetic: surreal or dream-like imagery, the absence of a linear narrative, the conflation of seemingly unrelated characters and micro-stories, and a mesmerizingly slow pace. Video 50 consists of a randomly arranged set of 30-second "episodes," a few of which feature notable French personalities of the 1970s-perfumier Hélène Rochas stares down a mugger, culture minister Michel Guy struggles to open a dresser drawer-and Wilson thought of these as miniature portraits or character studies. The creator and director of aggressively experimental theater, Wilson first came to prominence with works from the mid-1970s such as The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1973) and Einstein on the Beach (1976). These lavish, unusually long productions broke and then redefined every convention of theater. In Video 50 his shorter time-based portraits explore the intersection of narrative and still-life, seductively dissolving the distance between viewer and subject.

Fluxus emerged in the early 1960s as a loose, international network of artists, composers, and designers-"led" by Lithuanian-born American artist George Maciunas (1931-1978)- that was noted for blurring the boundaries between art and life. Fluxus artists like Maciunas, Nam June Paik, George Brecht, and Yoko Ono, among many others, challenged the notion of high art by creating unassuming, often humorous objects and performances that redefined the terms of artistic production by demonstrating the idea that "anything can be art and anyone can do it." Because of their disregard for traditional artistic media, many of the objects in the exhibition are-often by design-acutely resistant to conventional forms of museum display. Variously conceived as carriers of ideas, absurdist send-ups of consumer products, and invitations to direct, playful participation by the viewer, these works attempt to undermine the idea that art is separate from the activity of living one's life. Through 116 works, Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life will introduce visitors to the study and appreciation of art as an exciting and intellectually rewarding experience, and to the notion that art is something that can play an active role in their own approaches to life's essential questions.

This exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art and was generously supported by Constance and Walter Burke, Dartmouth College Class of 1944, the Marie-Louise and Samuel R. Rosenthal Fund, and the Ray Winfield Smith 1918 Fund. UMMA's installation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Health System, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Arts at Michigan, and the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Moving Beyond Green Building: Exploring the Socioeconomic Impacts of Green Building and Interdisciplinary Collaboration.

This symposium will bring together diverse stakeholders to discuss many of the unspoken benefits of green buildings, as well as how increased collaboration between these parties can lead to widespread change in buildings. Through this symposium we hope to communicate how green buildings can better serve as a driver of change for human health and productivity, behavioral change, social justice, and affordability for the middle class.

Dean Marie Lynn Miranda of the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment and Andrew Hoffman, Director of the Erb Institute will be among the speakers at the symposium.

The symposium will also feature discussion from active professionals in the green industry who will talk about the societal impacts of green building as it relates to community development, culture, affordability, and education. A panel discussion will follow the speaker presentations, allowing attendees to interact with one another in an open discussion. Networking reception to follow at Sava's (appetizers provided, cash bar).

Following the speaker series and panel discussion, we are inviting attendees and speakers to a reception at Sava's (216 S. State St Ann Arbor, MI) starting at 6:00pm to network and meet other students, community members, and professionals.

This paper investigates the modern reinterpretation of the Japanese pre-historic Empress Jingu through the lens of banknote designs. Since an eighth-century historical account, Jingu was represented in hagiographic as well as vernacular narratives, paintings and sculptures. She was interpreted as a goddess, mother of the martial deity Hachiman, and as the alleged conqueror of the Korean kingdoms. These features turned her into the archetype of Japanese colonial aspirations. To choose Empress Jingu as a motif for the new and ubiquitous medium of paper money during the formative years of the Japanese nation-state was therefore a highly political and ideological decision.

The Japanese finance ministry ordered three different renderings of the empress to be designed between 1873 and 1881. However, none of her pre-modern characteristics appear overtly in any of the late nineteenth-century official, visual interpretations. Why would this be the case? What are the reasons for the shift from a narrative representation to an unfamiliar allegory, and finally to a bust portrait reminiscent of European regents? How could her Western-style image on the bills evoke her multi-faceted persona in the Japanese consumers?

The radically modern renderings of Empress Jingu, and the debates surrounding their creation reveal negotiations of historical, political, and aesthetic boundaries between ancient and modern; ideological notions and realpolitik; Japan and its mainland neighbours; art and everyday media; and the balancing of Japanese versus Western modes of visual representation.
