Within the artists' book movement\, there has been an explosion of alternative types of bindings and printing methods that change traditional codex (separate pages bound together with a cover) by altering type\, image\, shape and structure. Words\, images and form contribute to the meaning of the book as art in a new way. Tearing\, folding\, and binding are just some of the ways that books can be transformed to create a new art object that brings up the question of what a book can be.

The fossil has proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

The sculptures–steles\, full figures\, and heads of divinities\, as well as funerary objects–provide a comprehensive view of how art manifests ritual practice and reveals\, through iconography\, the transmission and transformation of cultures from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE) through the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE). The exhibition will explore both indigenous and imported trends during the period. Emphasis will be placed on works from the sixth century CE\, a time of great intellectual ferment and artistic creation\, when change and innovation occurred in political and Buddhist centers in China.\n\nThis exhibition and tour are organized by the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery\, Columbia University. Major support for the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue came from the AMS Foundation for the Arts\, Sciences\, and Humanities\, the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Foundation\, and an anonymous donor. Contributions were also received from Giuseppe Eskenazi\, London\; Dorothy Tapper Goldman\; James J. Lally\; Dr. David and Mrs. Elvi Menke\; and Howard and Mary Ann Rogers.\n\nThis Ann Arbor presentation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Center for Chinese Studies.

Recent projects have addressed topics ranging from the current Iraq war to the politics of bicycling in a city of freeways. In her slogan-adorned sweater sets\, each outfit becomes a wearable canvas\, literally weaving together the personal and the political\, the aesthetic and the everyday. Auerbach's installation at UMMA will transform the Museum's most highly visible space–the Irving Stenn Jr. Family Project Gallery–into a showcase for her politically charged\, socially engaged knitwear. Appropriating strategies of presentation and display from the high-end clothing market\, this unconventional installation will encourage viewers to ask questions about how we experience different types of cultural spaces\, how we perceive the relationship between one type of luxury good (fashion) and another (art)\, and how both political and aesthetic discourses are framed in contemporary society.\n\nThis project is made possible in part by the W. Hawkins Ferry Fund and UMMA's New Visions Venture Fund.

At the same time\, photographic media have long since taken over the representation of real-world events\, both contemporary and historical. Untitled (History Painting): Painting and Public Life in the 21st Century investigates painting's continuing viability as a means of addressing historical events and how they are represented in a culture dominated by photographic and digital media. The artists in the exhibition are united both by their use of photographic (or cinematic) source material drawn from the public sphere and by their engagement with questions of historical representation and collective memory. Devoted exclusively to work produced since the year 2000\, the exhibition makes no attempt to be comprehensive. Instead\, the exhibition charts one constellation of positions at the intersection of painting\, photography\, and the public imagination. Rather than simply illustrating the impact of photography or current events on contemporary painting\, these positions represent an active\, critical engagement with some of the most pressing issues facing artists and viewers today.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.
