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 \u2013primarily on papyrus\u2013 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).", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"3497-917802@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/3497", "building_id":"1000181", "building_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "campus_maps_id":"65", "room":"Audubon Room", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":[], "website":"http:\/\/www.lib.umich.edu\/audubon-room\/events\/papyrus", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":90, "first_occurrence":917718 } , "4185-921785": { "datetime_modified":"20101111T175904", "datetime_start":"20101217T100000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2010-12-17", "date_end":"", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"UMMA Projects: Simon Dybbroe M\u00c3\u00b8ller", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"UMMA Projects: Simon Dybbroe M\u00c3\u00b8ller", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Things are not always as they seem in the work of Simon Dybbroe M\u00c3\u00b8ller. 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 M\u00c3\u00b8ller's work, where an initial misrecognition leads to a moment of aesthetic discovery.\n\nDybbroe M\u00c3\u00b8ller'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 \u201coutmoded\u201d\u009d 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 M\u00c3\u00b8ller'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.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"4185-921785@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/4185", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"Projects Gallery", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["visual arts"], "website":"http:\/\/umma.umich.edu\/view\/exhibitions\/2010-moller.php", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":86, "first_occurrence":921750 } , "4275-1005969": { "datetime_modified":"20101117T105658", "datetime_start":"20101217T190000", "datetime_end":"20101217T213000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2010-12-17", "date_end":"2010-12-17", "time_start":"19:00:00", "time_end":"21:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Groove presents Groove in 3D", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Groove presents Groove in 3D: Groove in 3D", "event_subtitle":"Groove in 3D", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Groove explores the next dimension of high energy percussion and performance in this rock-your-cerebrum experience for all ages.
