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: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:Exhibition:UMMA Projects: Simon Dybbroe Møller
DESCRIPTION:Things are not always as they seem in the work of Simon Dybbroe Møller. Indeed\, the Danish artist's works can at times appear to have been teleported from a slightly askew\, alternate version of the past. Seemingly familiar forms often appear in unexpected configurations and objects we think we recognize turn out to be something else entirely. 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.\n\nDybbroe Møller's penchant for puzzles and paradoxes reflects his interest in modernism's theoretical aspirations as well as its practical failings. Similarly\, his frequent adoption of “outmoded” media both provides him with a diverse artistic palette and a means of questioning the past century's faith in progress through technology and the avant-garde promise of continual artistic development.\n\nFor Dybbroe Møller's first solo exhibition in a North American museum\, UMMA will present a new body of work that continues his ongoing engagement with and critique of the modernist paradigm of transparency.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Those Phantom Sounds (Ringing in Your Ears) are Produced by Your Brain: The Neuroscience of Tinnitus
DESCRIPTION:Tinnitus is a phantom sound (ringing of the ears) that affects quality of life for  millions of people around the world and is usually\, but not always\, associated with  hearing impairment. In some cases\, insults to the somatosensory system\, such as  tooth absences or disturbances of the temporo-mandibular joint can also result in  tinnitus. Connections between these two sensory systems can explain why tinnitus  can be modulated in loudness and pitch by somatic maneuvers such as jaw- clenching and eye movements. Evidence will be provided that deafferentation of  central auditory structures leads to increased neuron spontaneous firing rates and  neural synchrony in the hearing loss regions that signal the phantom sounds.  Crossmodal compensations in subcortical structures may contribute to central re- organization of auditory structures by providing aberrant\, excitatory connections that  result in hyperactivity.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:The Exiles  (Kent MacKenzie\, 1961)
DESCRIPTION:THE EXILES chronicles one night in the lives of young Native American men and  women living in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles.  Based entirely on interviews  with the participants and their friends\, the film follows a group of exiles–transplants  from Southwest reservations–as they flirt\, drink\, party\, fight\, and dance.    With  UCLA Film & Television Archive's magnificent restoration and Milestone's release\,  THE EXILES stunned the film world.  It introduced a filmmaker of incredible talent  and insight and revealed a subject that had not been seen before or since:  the  diaspora of American Indians who had left the reservation for the city.  Gritty\,  realistic\, beautifully photographed\, THE EXILES is a cinematic miracle.  35mm  restored print.

SUMMARY:Performance:De Temps Antan
DESCRIPTION:De Temps Antan (\"Yesteryear\") consists of two current members and one former member of the legendary Quebec group La Bottine Souriante. The two bands share a devotion to Québécois traditional music\, a modern attitude\, a tendency toward response songs that get the audience involved\, and a high energy level (call it joie de vivre)\, all boiled down with De Temps Antan to a trio format. \"Sometimes they offer songs of the past\, sometimes an attitude of innovation\,\" says Radio Canada -- \"and sometimes crazy\, irrepressible laughter.\" De Temps Antan consists of Pierre-Luc Dupuis on accordion\, harmonica\, and bombarde (a brutally difficult pipes-oboe hybrid from Brittany)\; Eric Beaudry on guitar\, mandolin\, and bouzouki\; and André Brunet on violin\, guitar\, and foot percussion.
