			Valerie Mann has been showing her work professionally throughout the US and in Canada and Germany for 23 years.  She grew up on a large family farm in Indiana, went to University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana to earn a BFA in painting, then to MSU to earn an MFA in sculpture. Now working and teaching in Ann Arbor, Mann&rsquo;s use and study of tools inspired this body of work. Used every day and sometimes taken for granted, tools are indispensable in the making of art. These favorite tools are beautifully designed and well-thought out for their specific job.

			Elizabeth Busey has been inspired by global travel to explore the forces that shape our world &ndash; growth, pressure, erosion and decay. Through this exploration, she highlights patterns from many disparate perspectives in order to celebrate their universality in the natural world. Her work is created by printing multiple layers of ink onto cotton rag paper, where a single linoleum block is gradually reduced with each color layer. Busey is a primarily self-taught printmaker who produces her work in Bloomington, Indiana on a press made of recycled steel.

			By day, Jean-Marc Fontaine is a molecular biologist, and by night and weekend, he is an artist. He spent his childhood and youth in Normandy, France, and his dream of becoming a scientist grew together with his imagination and passion for oil painting and drawing. After moving to the US in 1998, Fontaine became fascinated with sculpting. This self-taught artist explores funny and familiar subjects, with close attention to details in human anatomy. Viewers will meet French, Belgian, British and American characters. Fontaine hopes that &ldquo;&hellip;these cartoon characters will bring a smile to patients (children and adults, alike).&rdquo;

He has the ability to make visible what others can only sense, sharing with viewers the emotional beauty he experiences. Nagler&rsquo;s photographs, which have won numerous awards, are found in many private and public collections, including the Detroit Institute of Art, the U-M Museum of Art and the Grand Rapids Art Museum. He is also a noted writer, lecturer and teacher of photography and the author of six highly successful photography books.

Now a local practicing engineer, Xu was born into a family of 10 brothers and sisters, in Jiangsu, China, and discovered his passion for photography in his teens. His work has been published by the Smithsonian Institution. Gifts of Art is pleased to present this exhibition in partnership with the U-M Confucius Institute.

			Darryl Baird is Associate Professor of Art at U-M Flint in graphic design and photography. This body of photographic work is a series of highly magnified plant sections offered as homage to natural life cycles and the inherent potential for beauty in mature forms. These images are a means to explore the cycles of all living things and a way to find understanding through the process. For this series, Baird used antique lenses and the now discontinued Polaroid Positive/Negative 55 film. His work is included in the collections of the Detroit Institute of Art, Museum of Fine Art in Houston, Texas and U-M Museum of Art in Ann Arbor.

			<b>Event Type:</b> Conference / Symposium<br />

			The &quot;Honoring the Career of Bunyan Bryant: The Legacy and Future of Environmental Justice&quot; conference pays tribute to Professor Bryant, who is retiring after 40 years of service to his field, the School of Natural Resources and Environment and the University of Michigan. Throughout his long career, he not only helped define the field and movement but has always advocated for the people behind it. The conference's purpose is to pay tribute to his contributions while offering attendees new thinking from leading activists, academics and government leaders. The event takes place nearly 30 years to the month since the historic Warren County landfill protest in North Carolina, which many consider the start of the modern Environmental Justice movement.

The conference will have keynote speakers and breakout sessions, culminating with the production later this year of a whitepaper spelling out an action plan for the movement. This is Bunyan's clearly articulated goal for the conference: a concrete work product that lives beyond the life of the conference and serves and informs the work of activists and academics in the years ahead.

			The exhibit &quot;Translating Homer: from Papyri to Alexander Pope&quot; includes papyri and early printed books illustrating how the Iliad and the Odyssey, two epic poems originally composed in the oral tradition, were first written down, edited, and eventually translated into the main European languages. This journey of transmission and interpretation throughout the centuries ends with the first editions of Alexander Pope&rsquo;s renderings of the poems.

Visitors to the exhibit will hear a series of readings from the poems in the original Greek and in several other languages, including Latin, English, Dutch, and Spanish.

The exhibit is part of the LSA Fall 2012 theme semester, Translation.

			Travel, an essential activity of human societies, has evolved into an industry with social, economic and environmental impacts. From pilgrimage and exploration to trade and tourism, advances in transportation have enabled new types of travel and created new places, some existing solely for the vacationer. This exhibition highlights changes in travel including information on early pilgrimages, exploration narratives, the grand tour of Europe, women travellers, World&rsquo;s Fairs, the birth of the family vacation and specialized tourism using maps and narratives from the Library collections.

			<title>Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time (October 6, 2012 11:00am)</title>

			<b>Date:</b> Saturday, October 6, 2012<br />
			<b>Time:</b> 11:00am<br />
			<b>Event Type:</b> Exhibition<br />
			<b>Location:</b> 202 S. Thayer - 1010<br />
			<b>Sponsors:</b> Institute for the Humanities<br />
			<b>Website:</b> <a href='www.lsa.umich.edu/humanities'>www.lsa.umich.edu/humanities</a><br />			</p>
			Canan Tolon&rsquo;s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally, proliferating in the room.

Upon first glance, Tolon&rsquo;s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite, suggestive of vast open spaces, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection, we contemplate our own histories.

Then, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow, after the proverbial summer full of expectation&hellip;expecting things to change, to be different, to be new again, we are struck with a profound disillusionment, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. &mdash; Amanda Krugliak, arts curator

This Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon&rsquo;s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards.

			African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical, social, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art, National Museum of African Art, Fowler Museum at UCLA, as well as several Detroit area private collections, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things, Embodied Time, Moving Through Time, Global Time, and &quot;NOW.&quot;

This exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

			This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition &quot;Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire,&quot; which features the Clements collection's major painting &quot;The Death of General Wolfe.&quot; William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements&rsquo;s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

			Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan, Canadian, and British collections, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation, the University of Michigan Health System, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. &amp; P. Heydon).

			The Seoul-based art collaborative, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media, technologies, and cultural histories, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their &quot;net art&quot; productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA, which will be added to the artists' website, yhchang.com.

This exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, and the Nam Center for Korean Studies. Additional support provided by the Dr. Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

			Visitors encountering Danish artist Just&rsquo;s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation, as in much of his work, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty, provocation, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just&rsquo;s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon, and this is the essence of Just&rsquo;s gift for hypnotic storytelling.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

			The funniest thing on four legs&quot;&mdash;Christine Lavin

Lou and Peter Berryman are musical humorists who have delighted nationwide audiences for more than 20 years. Frequent comparisons to Tom Lehrer (who said, &quot;I love your material, and if I were still performing, I'd steal it&quot;), Flanders and Swann, and Burns and Allen notwithstanding, these two are originals, blending Midwestern culture with intelligent observation in a whimsical and wonderfully accessible performance. They have produced a dozen albums and three songbooks of their original and hilarious, quirky, yet oddly profound music, and they've toured the U.S. and Canada to rave reviews. Lou and Peter Berryman songs are being sung around the world, by a legion of professional musicians including Peter, Paul &amp; Mary, Peggy Seeger, and Garrison Keillor, as well as shower singers everywhere. The pair began their musical partnership in high school in Appleton, Wisconsin, and their friendship survived a brief marriage before maturing into a durable creative collaboration

			&ldquo;Simply breathtaking,&rdquo; proclaims the Chicago Sun-Times about Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, whose UMS debut features a program of contemporary ballet that exemplifies the company&rsquo;s commitment to commissioning dance by both world-renowned and emerging choreographers. With a European aesthetic grounded in American sensibilities, this 11-member troupe of classically trained dancers has developed a worldwide following. &ldquo;Stark, sleek, and chock-full of moves that skirt the edges of contemporary movement.&rdquo; (The Boston Globe)

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet began in Aspen in 1996, and a partnership four years later led to the creation of a company that splits its time between Aspen and Santa Fe. Artistic director Tom Mossbrucker, a former principal dancer with the Joffrey Ballet, has been with the company since the beginning. He is dedicated to presenting an eclectic repertoire and committed to acquiring new works that persistently challenge, enliven, and education both audiences and the company dancers.

Program
Square None (2011): Choreography: Norbert De La Cruz. Music: Alva Noto, Michelle Ross, Handel, and Aphex Twin.
Stamping Ground (1983): Choreography: Jir&iacute; Kyli&aacute;n. Music: Carlos Ch&aacute;vez.
Over Glow (2011): Choreography: Jorma Elo. Music: Mendelssohn &amp; Beethoven.
