Three bridled horse skulls inscribed and leafed become cabinets for ephemeral objects and imagery clasped in the hands of priest figures dominating war landscapes.\n\nInscribed text references medieval and early modern Christianity from the first and second world war\, and archival texts\, produced in the 1870's in the now extinct Bushman language “ |xam.” \n\nThrough themes of sacrifice and redemption\, the artist explores relic and archive in the context of writing and language\, and considers the interchange between text and textuality\, the visible and the invisible world.\n\nThe exhibition maps out the imaginary boundaries and landmarks of the miraculous history of the book\, what it might look like\, and where it might lead us in an ongoing journey.\n\nPippa Skotnes is the Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at the U-M Institute for the Humanities. She is professor of fine art and director of the Center for Curating the Archive at the Michaelis School of Fine Art\, University of Capetown\, South Africa.\n\nProfessor Skotnes will be also be presenting the Wednesday Night Museums lecture “Curating the Archive: Representing Scattered Collections of the Colonial Past\,” on December 2\, 2009\, 7:30\, Helmut Stern Auditorium\, University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n\nA corresponding conference\, “Archive\, Museum\, and the Safe House of Language” takes place on Thursday\, December 3\, 2009\, 9am-4:30pm at the Institute for the Humanities\, room 2022\, 202 S.

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.

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.

Within this framework\, the invention of the camera and the development of early fine art photography in that particular setting will be seen as the specific catalysts that brought about a new approach to painting.\n\nThe project will showcase paintings\, photographs\, and drawings by some of the most treasured artists in the Western canon–Gustave Courbet\, Edouard Manet\, Edgar Degas\, and Claude Monet among them–as well as pioneering photographers such as Gustave Le Gray and Henri Le Secq. Inspired by the scenic Normandy coast of France\, these works–including representations of beach scenes\, seascapes\, fishing villages\, resorts\, and the region's pastoral beauty–will be brought together with archival materials related to early tourism and regional expressions of French nationalism from popular culture for an innovative examination of the impact of the then-new medium of photography on ideas of image making\, the recording of passing time\, the capacities of painting\, and the rise of Impressionism itself.\n\nOrganized by UMMA\, this exhibition is made possible in part by the Florence Gould Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Masco Corporation\, and the University of Michigan's Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research. Additional support has been provided by the family of Raymond F. Cunningham in his memory. Following its showing in Ann Arbor\, the exhibition will travel to the Dallas Museum of Art.

The band came together at the legendary Tipitina's club in 1987 and took their awesomely funky blues-rock on the road for ten years\, winning fans everywhere. After a seven-year hiatus\, the Subdudes returned\, with a couple of new members but with the core of the group and their gritty\, honest sound intact. The Subdudes\, noted the All Music Guide's Tammy La Gorce\, \"aren't just stellar musicians of the swampy jazz-rock-blues New Orleans persuasion\, as they've come to be known. They're also a group of guys whose working-class roots run as definitively\, and maybe as deeply\, as Bruce Springsteen's.\" They come to town with a new release\, \"Flower Petals.\" UID:2282-919473@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/2282 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20091214T030002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20091214T200000 SUMMARY:Other:University Philharmonia Orchestra DESCRIPTION:Christopher James Lees\, conductor.
