SUMMARY:Other:HUMANITIES GALLERY
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION: THURSDAY\, SEPTEMBER 17\, 2009\, 6:30-8:00 PM (immediately following  the School of Art and Design's Penny Stamps Lecture at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor) 202  SOUTH THAYER STREET ROOM 1010 ANN ARBOR\, MICHIGAN Gallery hours: Monday - Friday\,  9:00AM-5:00PM ***** In this photographic exhibit\, RICHARD BARNES\, the Institute for the  Humanities' 2009 Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts\, presents innovative new work  inspired by the paleontology and anthropology collections in the University of Michigan Exhibits  Museum and the ornithology collection in the Museum of Zoology. In this unique installation\,  Barnes considers the nature of things from collection and display to extinction. A prehistoric  skeletal whale juxtaposes a mound of rubber molds and resin casts\, examining questions of  replication and authenticity\, what we save and what we lose. Both lyrical and visceral\, Barnes'  work engages us in a provocative conversation about museological practice from behind the  scenes\, capturing the inextricable relationship between human gesture and the inevitability of  extinction. For more information\, contact Amanda Krugliak(mandak@umich.edu). (734) 936-3518.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ida: Darwinius masillae
DESCRIPTION:\"Ida\,\" a new exhibit in the Exhibit Museum's Rotunda\, displays a high-resolution cast of an extremely rare  fossil discovered in 1983 near Messel\, Germany\, but only recently made available for study. 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 JÃ¸rn 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:(Un)Natural History: The Museum Unveiled
DESCRIPTION:September 12 through December 6\, 2009\n\nRichard Barnes's series of photographs Animal Logic examines the role the museum plays in our understanding of ourselves through the acts of collecting\, preservation\, and display. Images from this large body of work include photographs of the collections from the Smithsonian Institution\, the Museum of Comparative Anatomy in Paris\, the Canadian Museum of Natural History\, and the San Francisco Academy of Science. (Un)Natural History focuses primarily on the natural history museum and by extension collecting institutions in general\, providing a kind of behind-the-scenes look at museum practice and display.\n\nThis exhibition will coincide with the UM LSA Theme Semester Meaningful Objects: Museums and the Academy. UMMA's presentation is projected to serve as part of a three-venue project highlighting different aspects of Barnes's work in partnership with the UM Institute for the Humanities–who have selected Richard Barnes as the Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts for 2009–and the Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:UMMA Projects: Lisa Anne Auerbach
DESCRIPTION:July 11 through October 11\, 2009\n\nOften combining wry humor with a biting critique of the complacency and routine of modern life\, Lisa Anne Auerbach's subversive brand of post-punk\, DIY aesthetics mixes art and politics in a manner both highly personal and thoroughly embedded in contemporary culture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Untitled (History Painting)
DESCRIPTION:May 23 through September 20\, 2009\n\nThe use and translation of photographic imagery is perhaps the most significant development in painting of the past half century. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series: Nitrogen Deposition Effects on Forest Carbon Storage:  A Review and New Estimates
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Human activities have greatly accelerated emissions of both CO2 and  reactive nitrogen to the atmosphere.  Because N availability often limits forest  productivity\, it has long been expected that anthropogenic N deposition is  stimulating forest C sequestration. However\, quantitative estimates from models  and plot-level studies vary dramatically\, and observational evidence has been  lacking for deposition-induced stimulation of regional forest growth.  The responses  of forest soil C storage and solute C loss are even less well-understood.  I will  present recent work reviewing historical estimates of the importance of N deposition  as a mechanism of terrestrial C sequestration\, along with new evidence of the  effects of N additions on forest growth\, soil decomposition\, and loss of dissolved  organic carbon .  We find that N additions have markedly reduced rates of  decomposition at 4 of 6 long-term experiments in the Northeast\, but that effects on  DOC losses across a dozen long-term experiments appear driven more by soil  response to acidification than to N itself.  Lastly\, we find that N deposition has  affected tree growth\, survival\, and C storage across the northeastern and north- central USA during the 1980s and 1990s\, with varying consequences for both growth  and mortality of different tree species\, perhaps due in part to differences in tree  mycorrhizal association.  Aboveground biomass increment increased by 56 (40-78)  kg C per kg N deposition\, amounting to a 36 (27-46) % enhancement over pre- industrial conditions.  These observations indicate that atmospheric N deposition is  a substantial contributor to global C sequestration.
