SUMMARY:Exhibition:A History of the Bible from Ancient Papyri to King James
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, from the Special Collections Library\, shows a path of documents that  led to the creation of the 1611 King James Version of the Bible – from ancient  Egyptian manuscripts on papyrus to Medieval manuscripts to the printed book.\n\nThe earliest documents on display are Egyptian papyri\, including examples of a  census record from the year 119 and the oldest known copy of part of the New  Testament. Medieval manuscripts document the preservation of the text until the  invention of movable type printing by Gutenberg around 1450. The early printed  Bibles include versions in Latin and Greek\, and several that show the struggles  among various political factions and church reformers to control the translating of  the Scriptures into the language of the people. See the King James Bible of 1611  that became the accepted standard.\n\nFor Audubon Room hours\, see https://www.lib.umich.edu/audubon-room

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Book of Iterations
DESCRIPTION:This provocative exhibition is comprised of two “bone books” made of horse  skeletons and covered in hand-written texts\, burnished in gold leaf\, and shod in  silver shoes.  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.

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:Film Screening:MLK Symposium Film Screening of “The Water Front”
DESCRIPTION:What if you lived by the largest body of fresh water in the world but could no longer afford to use it? The Water Front is the story of an American city–Highland Park\, MI–in crisis\, but it is not just about water. The story touches on the very essence of our democratic system and is an unnerving indication of what is in store for residents around the world facing their own water struggles. (53 minutes\, 2007). The film raises questions such as: Who determines the future of shared public resources? What are alternatives to water privatization? How will we maintain our public water systems\, and whom can we hold accountable?\n\nJoin us for a discussion of this award-winning film with associate director Curtis D. Smith immediately following the film. Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Other:Student Lecture -  Instruments of Change:  Improvised Music in Apartheid and Post-Apartheid South Africa - Nate May
DESCRIPTION:For many musicians improvisation is an embrace of – or a demand for – freedom.  In South Africa\, improvised music has served both the struggle against and the recovery from the restrictions on basic freedom that were in place until the fall of the apartheid regime in 1994.  Jazz piano student Nate May will discuss and illustrate his personal experience and research during a year in Cape Town\, with a focus on a Khoisan performance poetry group\, Methodist church music\, and local jazz traditions.  This event is part of the Examining Ubuntu conference which takes place all week (http://www.examiningubuntu.org).

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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tim Eriksen\, and Bill Bynum & Co.
DESCRIPTION:Tim Eriksen's hardcore Americana sound is a tightrope walk balancing tradition and  innovation\, and he's walked that walk accurately enough that he's shared stages  with both Doc Watson and Kurt Cobain\, and recorded with both Ralph Stanley and  Jack White. He combines hair-raising vocals with fiddle\, banjo\, guitar\, and bajo  sexto\, alternating stripped-down story songs with quirky originals. Tim cut his teeth  playing hardcore punk at New York's notorious CBGB and getting a degree in South  Indian classical music (veena and voice)\, all the while honing his \"northern roots\"  Americana style and mining local library archives\, junk sales\, and obscure field  recordings for gems of old American song. He was a member of the seminal folk- noise band Cordelia's Dad and appeared on the \"Cold Mountain\" soundtrack. A Tim  Eriksen set may draw on the power of New England murder ballads\, stark shape- note tunes\, love songs\, and/or Irish and southern Appalachian sounds. The  Downriver Detroit downhome band Bill Bynum & Co. opens tonight's concert.
