SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Landscape and Memory\" at Gallery Project
DESCRIPTION:Landscape and Memory seeks the experience and sensation of landscape\, tracing memory beyond symbol and  image\, to find a place in-between land and mind that is grounded in shared human experience\, evolution\,  geology\, and memory. \n\nSkyscrapers\, landfill mounds\, and industrialized agriculture often lead society to collectively assume that\, via  human engineering and construction\, it is we who shape the landscape to ourselves. In contrast to this line of  thought\, Landscape and Memory presents the self as shaped by environment and landscape.\n\nCURATED BY Catherine Meier and Joshua Smith \n\nARTISTS Shane Anderson\, Katherine E. Bash\, Jennilie Brewster\, Rocco DePietro\, Sarah Kanouse\, Catherine  Meier\, Zac Montanaro\, Bruce Myren\, Anne Percoco\, Marianetta Porter\, Gloria Pritschet\, Terri Sarris\, Matthew  Shlian\, Joshua Ray Smith and Mary Tsiongas

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bioartography
DESCRIPTION:The U-M Center for Organogenesis unites scientists from many fields who work together to study organ growth\, function and disease.  The goal of these studies is to use what is learned to design new and effective ways to treat disease and repair damaged organs. In the course of this work\, scientists use the microscope and special stains or “colors” to look at tissues for changes that could affect our health. These tiny biological structures that are studied are often beautiful and  present a fascinating combination of art and science.\n\nAll images are available for purchase and all proceeds support research training at the University of Michigan\, Center for Organogenesis.

DESCRIPTION:The award-winning artist captures the Windy City in these enlargements from her fifth book\, \"Chicago\,\" published by the University of Michigan Press. They offer a unique view of one of America's greatest cities. Davis creates her work by manipulating Polaroid SX 70 photographs while they're still soft and malleable. The result are pictures imbued with a dreamlike quality ? suggesting a place between photorealism and impressionist painting.

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:Performance:John Gorka
DESCRIPTION:The modern renaissance of folk music began when John Gorka won the Kerrville  Folk Festival's New Folk award in 1984\, and it grew to maturity when he released his  debut album\, \"I Know\,\" three years later. Here was a singer-songwriter with a  striking baritone voice that made you feel like you'd been hearing it all your life\,  with the songwriting chops to take on and see into nearly every type of song--from  personal pieces about love and sadness\, to bemused observations about daily life\,  political thinking-aloud\, and sheer\, unmitigated whimsy. More than two decades  later\, John Gorka still calls himself an aspiring folksinger\, and his music just keeps  getting deeper and better. Opening is singer-songwriter Drew Nelson\, who has a new  release\, \"Dusty Road to Beulah Land.\" This Grand Rapids native has a big fan in his  corner\, named John Gorka.
