As Sargent Shriver said\, \"It might still be just an idea but for”¦those Michigan students and faculty.\" The exhibit highlights the development of student activism as well as important historical events.\n\nNormal Library Hours: http://www.lib.umich.edu/hours/list.php?singlebuilding=4 UID:3498-909723@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/3498 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Library Gallery (Room 100) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20100909T114609 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20101001T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20101001T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:From Trace to Text: Highlights from the U-M Papyrus Collection DESCRIPTION:This exhibit provides a behind-the-scenes look at the work of papyrologists: how they conserve scraps of often badly damaged papyri\, decipher traces of ink\, read and translate the resulting text\, edit and interpret its contents\, and make this available to both scholars and the general public. Modern technology\, such as digitization and multi-spectral imaging\, is aiding papyrologists in all of these efforts.\n\nTexts on display are some of the highlights of the collection. They include a wonderful drawing of an elephant\, a letter from a newly enlisted soldier to his mother\, and\, of course\, some pages of the oldest manuscript with letters of St. Paul (one of the most famous texts of the collection).\n\nIn its 90-year history\, the University of Michigan Papyrus Collection has trained more students and scholars in the field of papyrology than any other institution in North America. Founded by the visionary Francis W. Kelsey\, the Papyrus Collection has been the training ground for papyrologists from around the world and home to many great resident scholars\, such as Herbert and Louise Youtie\, Ludwig Koenen\, and Traianos Gagos\, who died on April 26\, 2010.\n\nPapyrology is the field of scholarship that deciphers and studies the texts written –primarily on papyrus– by people living in the ancient Mediterranean world between 2\,500 BCE and 1\,000 CE. Most of these texts are found in Egypt where the climate is dry enough to preserve this fragile material. It is a highly specialized and technical field\, requiring intensive training in language (Egyptian\, ancient Greek\, Latin\, Arabic)\, history\, and the unique set of skills necessary for reading original documents.\n\nThe exhibit is open during Audubon Room hours: Sun 1-7pm\, Mon-Fri 8:30-7pm\, Sat 10am-6pm.\n\nThis Exhibit is in Honor of Traianos Gagos (1960-2010).

A protean figure of the postwar avant-garde\, Cage collaborated with Merce Cunningham and visual artists including Joseph Beuys\, Robert Rauschenberg\, and Nam June Paik.\n\nExhibit celebration is Nov. 3\, 5-7pm\, in the gallery.

This major exhibition features more than 100 works of art from UMMA's Whistler collection\, which covers the artist's entire career in Europe\, ranging from his student days and exposure to the vanguard artistic movements of the 19th century to the groundbreaking and atmospheric lithographs and etchings of his mature style. It is the first exhibition devoted to Whistler's works at UMMA since 1994.\n\nNearly all of the Whistler works came to the Museum through the bequest of Margaret Watson Parker\, an early collector of both Whistler's prints as well as Japanese art. The exhibition explores Whistler's illustrious life and career\; his artistic themes and concerns\, including portraiture and his well-known series from England\, Italy\, and France\; the interests and legacy of early-20th-century Whistler collector Margaret Watson Parker\; and the tools and techniques that Whistler employed as a printmaker.

The Bohlen collection presents an astonishing range of contemporary artworks fashioned from wood and includes works that explores traditional and non-traditional vessel forms as well as works that are more purely sculptural. The outstanding objects that make up the Fusfeld collection are both geographically and historically wide-ranging\, including work by early nineteenth-century itinerant folk portraitists as well as late twentieth-century sculpture and painting by “outsider” artists from the American South\, Midwest\, and Northeast.

Kolding's work revolves around the experience of life in the contemporary built environment\, particularly the relationships and contradictions that emerge between how architectural spaces are planned and how they are actively used. His collages\, drawings\, posters\, and mixed-media sculptures incorporate a wide range of source material\, sampling and mixing the visual idiom of modernist art and architecture\, the language of sociological inquiry\, and such popular cultural forms as hip-hop and electronic music\, skateboarding\, and soccer. Kolding's dynamic compositions encourage us to actively question the relationship between space and behavior\, and to imagine forms of self-expression that use the built environment in creative new ways.

These women purportedly hailed from “noble\,” “brave” Circassia\, cast as the “purest” of all in the Northern Caucasus mountain area where German physiologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1762-1840) claimed one could locate the origins of the white race. As if a harbinger of what was to come\, one performer\, “Zumigo” was of African descent. What does it mean that an aesthetic that we commonly\, if reductively\, associate with black racial authenticity and black empowerment was once associated with an ostensible display of white racial purity during America's foundational period of racial upheaval?

But what really sets them apart is instrumental artistry that adds deeper jazz and funk layers to the sound. \"With a finger-picking style that has been compared to Leo Kottke and Ani DiFranco\, soul-folk songwriting skills in the tradition of Martin Sexton\, and a singing voice constantly compared to Stevie Wonder\, there is clearly an abundance of talent here\,\" the Green Mountain College Journal says of former coffeehouse folkster Montbleau. And this may be a Northeastern band\, but there's a zydeco layer in their music too! Ryan has been writing up a storm\, and you can be among the first to hear the band's new material. Come to the show\, hear this great group of committed young performers\, say hello\, and pick up a copy of Ryan's gorgeous solo album\, \"Stages: Volume II.\" UID:2754-921130@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/2754 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20101111T175604 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20101001T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Ark at UMMA DESCRIPTION:The Ark at UMMA invites student songwriters from University of Michigan\, Eastern Michigan University and Washtenaw Community College to submit their original music demos in order to compete for a live performance showcase at UMMA and a chance to perform at The Ark.
