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.

An abstract wall painting emerges from beneath a layer of peeling plaster. A group of minimalist sculptures turn out to be the pieces of an enlarged Soma cube. This uncertainty is central to the experience of Dybbroe Møller's work\, where an initial misrecognition leads to a moment of aesthetic discovery. Meet the artist in the gallery after the talk.

He's joined on stage by his newest collaborator\, the young American cellist Natalie Haas\, who first came to his attention when she was 11 and attended one of his Valley of the Moon Scottish fiddling camps. Haas's cello has both melodic and rhythmic roles in the duo\, and according to Fraser that's nothing new in Scots music. \"People may be familiar with the gorgeous\, melodic cello sound\,\" he has said\, \"but they're surprised to learn that the cello used to comprise the rhythm section in Scottish dance bands.\" UID:1334-914963@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/1334 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20101106T000335 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20101105T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20101105T220000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:IGSA movie night DESCRIPTION:Crismon Gold by Jafar Panahi will be screened.
