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.

The exhibition of 45 digital images\, titled “Affinity of Form” (which also is the title of his recently published book)\, uses the juxtaposition of photographs to build a comparative concept within a set of two images. Lipsey graduated from the University of Michigan in 1948 with a degree in economics and while a student here he was a photographer for the Michigan Daily and Photography Editor for the Michiganensian. The Student Publications Building was named for Stanford Lipsey in 2005.

Like the songs of Woody Guthrie\, they're becoming part of America.\" Tom Paxton has been a prime influence on other songwriters since he emerged in Greenwich Village in the 1960s\, including some you might expect (Holly Near) and some you might not (Guy Clark). He's still writing great songs\, many so topical that they never make it onto his albums -- you have to come to his shows to hear them. Tom's MySpace page lists his influences as Pete Seeger\, Woody Guthrie\, Bob Gibson\, Burl Ives\, Tom Lehrer\, and Mississippi John Hurt\, but even that motley collection doesn't quite encompass the man and his music. On a recent Grammy telecast Tom received a Lifetime Achievement Award\, but he's not resting on those or any other laurels\, and he always brings something new each time he comes to Michigan.
