SUMMARY:Exhibition:Wearable Art
DESCRIPTION:U-M School of Art & Design alumna Furtado started as a weaver over 30 years ago\, working on a loom. She is now engaged in a variety of activities as she produces her line of wearable art. Handweaving\, felting\, dyeing and beading are common tools of her trade. Lately\, she has been exploring Nuno felting\, a Japanese technique which combines wool felt with silk fabric. One of her dyeing techniques is a resist process involving clamping and applying dye in multiple steps\, creating a multiple-color\, multiple-shape design.

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 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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series: Phylogenetic tests of plant defense theory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Plant defense theories have long been proposed to predict patterns in the  expression of defensive strategies against herbivores. Despite convergence and  macroevolutionary patterns being an explicit part of defense theories\, phylogenetic  analyses have not been widely employed to disentangle specific predictions  concerning 1) investment in resistance traits\, 2) tolerance to damage\, and 3) plant  growth rate. Using a molecular phylogeny of milkweed I will test some of these  predictions and also attempt to unravel some of the multiple evolutionary drivers of  plant traits. Consistent with classic coevolutionary theory\, the historical pattern of  defense evolution in the milkweeds shows an escalating ability to regrow following  damage\, but declining investment in the two most potent anti-herbivore resistance  traits (cardenolides\, latex).  This pattern implicates specialist herbivores in driving  the evolution of tolerance over resistance. Trichomes\, however\, show a phylogenetic  pattern more consistent with this trait being an adaptation to arid environments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MOLS Stoves Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Using a backcountry stove can be intimidating at first – you might wonder if you are using it  correctly\, if you've bought the correct fuel\, or if there is really only one switch for adjusting the  flame. If this sounds familiar\, you are likely not alone. Luckily\, with a little knowledge and  practice they can become simple and even intuitive. Not to mention relatively easy to fix. This  MOLS clinic will teach you how to operate\, maintain\, and fix your stove in any situation.
