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).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lecture on the Weather
DESCRIPTION:This multi-media stage work by John Cage\, based on the texts of Henry David Thoreau\, brings together speech\, music\, film\, lighting\, and a weather soundscape to form a softly political piece as relevant today as the year it was written. \n\nCage (1912-1992) was well known as an experimental composer\, philosopher\, writer\, and visual artist. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:On Beauty and the Everyday: The Prints of James McNeill Whistler
DESCRIPTION:UMMA's rare and important collection of James McNeill Whistler works on paper represents  one of the finest holdings of Whistler's graphic output in North America. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Out of the Ordinary: Selections from the Bohlen Wood Art and Fusfeld Folk Art Collections
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition\, which runs from September 11 through Spring of 2011\, allows visitors to  explore two extraordinary collections of art–the Robert M. and Lillian Montalto Bohlen  Collection of Wood Art and the Daniel and Harriet Fusfeld Folk Art Collection. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Despite extensive theory existing on the roles natural selection can play in speciation\, the uniqueness of lineages and environmental contexts often makes partitioning the drivers of diversification difficult in practice. Specifically\, disentangling the relative contributions of spatial isolation and natural selection in initiating speciation remains a challenge. One way to infer the role of natural selection in evolution is by examining parallel patterns of diversification within a species complex. Because the Midas cichlid fishes (Amphilophus sp.) in Nicaragua colonized multiple crater lakes independently and diversify along various ecological axes\, they are an excellent system for studying natural selection and are the focus of the research I will present. First\, I will demonstrate that there is parallel eco-morphological evolution of these fish species and a parallel pattern of evolutionary branching in sympatry across crater lakes. Second\, I will describe how signals of positive selection from whole transcriptome sequence analyses suggest non-parallel genetic bases to this eco-morphological evolution. Third\, I will discuss the relevance of other axes of phenotypic differentiation to the evolution of this species complex. Together this shows how a combined genomic and phenotypic approach on populations in nature can partition natural selection from geographical isolation in speciation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Presents: The John Cage Trust
DESCRIPTION:The John Cage Trust was established in 1993 as a not-for-profit institution whose mission is to gather together\, organize\, preserve\, disseminate\, and generally further the work of the late American composer\, John Cage. Its founding trustees were Merce Cunningham\, Artistic Director of the Cunningham Dance Company\, Anne d'Harnoncourt\, Director of the Philadelphia Museum\, and David Vaughan\, Archivist of the Cunningham Dance Foundation\, all long-time Cage friends and associates.\n\nThe John Cage Trust functions as both a business concern and an archive and repository for Cage's work. In the latter capacity\, it maintains sizeable collections of music\, text\, and visual art manuscripts. It also houses extensive audio\, video\, and print libraries\, which are continually expanding\, as well as a substantial permanent collection of visual art works by John Cage\, which are made available for exhibitions worldwide. The John Cage Trust also works closely with others in the promotion and placement of Cage's work\, including archival restoration\, remastering\, and working on new projects that contribute to the continuing relevance of Cage's work.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jake Shimabukuro
DESCRIPTION:When he was just four\, Hawaii-born Jake Shimabukuro (she-ma-BOO-koo-row) got his first ukulele lesson from his mother. \"When I played my first chord I was hooked\,\" says Jake\, \" I fell in love with the instrument.\" That love grew into a deep passion to create and innovate. Renowned for lightning-fast fingers and revolutionary playing techniques\, Jake views the ukulele as an \"untapped source of music with unlimited potential.\" His virtuosity defies label or category. Playing jazz\, blues\, funk\, classical\, bluegrass\, folk\, flamenco\, and rock\, Jake is a virtuoso on a mission to show everyone that the ukulele is capable of much more than the traditional Hawaiian music many associate it with. Think \"While My Guitar Gently Weeps.\" Bach. Japanese koto music. \"Thriller.\" And the list goes on and on!
