SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ben Yomen: Labor Cartoons from the 1940s
DESCRIPTION:Cartoons as a weapon. Ben Yomen used cartoons to fight bosses he felt had no respect for their laborers and to ridicule an American Congress he felt had no respect for its constituents. Many of his cartoons that were published in the 1940s have such a timeless message that they could have been published in 2011.\n\nIn a 1943 Federated Press survey\, Yoman was voted \"most popular cartoonist in the labor press today\" by AFL (American Federation of Labor)\, CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) and Railroad Brotherhood editors.  His cartoons documented the labor struggles of the day.\n\nThis collection of Ben Yoman cartoons is part of the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the U-M Special Collections Library. The Labadie Collection is the oldest research collection of radical history in the United States\, documenting a wide variety of international social protest movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is named for anarchist and labor organizer Joseph Antoine Labadie (1850-1933).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Waiting for the Extraordinary
DESCRIPTION:In “Waiting for the Extraordinary\,” a new site-specific installation commissioned by the U-M Institute for the Humanities gallery\, Dion focuses his enquiry on Michigan Chief Justice Augustus Woodward’s territorial act of 1817\, establishing a “Catholepistemiad\, or University of Michigania.” Woodward harbored a dream of classifying all human knowledge and had discussed this with his friend and mentor Thomas Jefferson. His plan would remain a blueprint for the university until 1872\, when Henry Tappan became its first appointed president and instituted a German model of education more in line with the U-M we know today.\n\nWoodward’s handwritten list from the period outlined thirteen different professorships\, or “diaadaxiim\,” which followed an idiosyncratic system of classifications. He invented outlandish words for these\, mixing Greek and Latin\, resulting in alliterative designations such as Anthropoglossica (Literature)\, Physiosophica (Natural Philosophy)\, and Latrica (Medicine)\, to name a few.\n\nFor the Institute for the Humanities project\, Mark Dion imagines what objects would best represent these classifications and sets out to find them in the many departments and collections within the university. As he embarks upon this ambitious and idealistic quest\, the result is as much an expedition as a scavenger hunt\, in part Aristotle as well as Don Quixote. In a week’s time\, he locates a magpie\, a meteorite\, a celestial globe\, a flask\, a bugle\, and then a heart. \n\nEach artifact is reproduced using 3D rapid imaging technology at the U-M Duderstadt Center\, coated with phosphorescent paint\, and then exhibited in a manner suggestive of post-nuclear hallowed halls.\n\nBut first\, visitors to the gallery take a number\, are seated in a waiting room\, a carbon copy in itself. It is the familiar experience encountered in every institution\, at the dentist’s office\, or the DMV. We are waiting\, just waiting”¦for the extraordinary.\n\nMark Dion’s work considers scientific method and museum practice and their influence on our understanding of history\, the natural world\, and what we know to be true. His work questions the hard line between rational thought and unadulterated subjectivity. Although conceptual\, Dion’s projects serve as formal critiques\, examining the relationship between the human experience as we know it and the institutions\, museums\, and galleries that predetermine it.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pictures of Resistance: The Wartime Photographs of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman
DESCRIPTION:The lives of WWII partisans depended on their ability to remain unseen\, undocumented and unidentifiable. But one fighter\, Faye Schulman\, had a camera. Schulman’s rare collection of images captures the camaraderie\, horror and loss\, bravery and triumph of the rag-tag\, tough partisans–some Jewish\, some not–who fought the Germans and their collaborators.\n\nSchulman\, the only known Jewish partisan photographer\, says of the exhibit\, “I want people to know that there was resistance. Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter. I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof.”\n\nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Library and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies.\n\nThis exhibit was produced by the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation and curated by Jill Vexler\, Ph.D. It was made possible by Thomas and Johanna Baruch\, the Epstein/Roth Foundation\, the Purjes Foundation\, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation\, the Koret Foudnation\, the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and culture\, the Holocaust Council of UJA MetroWest\, and Diane and Howard Wohl.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:William Faulkner's Artifacts of Authorships
DESCRIPTION:William Faulkner is one of the most important novelists in the American tradition\, and his work represents an endlessly generative confluence of cultural\, historical\, and literary frictions. Faulkner’s writing is famous for its poetic density and beauty\, but his process and the editorial history of his work present layers of interpretive complication and depth that remain under-examined by scholars. This exhibit highlights some of the fascinating and meaningful discrepancies evident from Faulkner’s manuscripts to his publisher’s galleys and between various print editions of his most famous novels.\n\nItems are from the Irwin T. and Shirley Holtzman Collection of William Faulkner\, which is a comprehensive collection of published Faulkner materials. Many first editions of books and short stories will be on display as well as original University of Mississippi yearbook illustrations\, and reproductions of manuscripts. The exhibit focuses on the complex editorial history of Faulkner's work\, including his approach to revision (including alterations he made to his stories and characters between different forms of publication and different editions). Materials range in date from 1917-1969.\n\nView the exhibit during Special Collections Library hours: Mon-Fri.\, 10am-5pm.

SUMMARY:Performance:Deke Dickerson
DESCRIPTION:Deke Dickerson says you can call him the Renaissance man of roots music. That’s because he can do it all! Deke came out of the world of rockabilly guitar and vocals\, and he’s well enough known in that field to have a model named for him in the catalog of Hallmark Guitars. But that’s just the beginning. “People love to label me rockabilly\, but that’s just a small fraction of what I do\,” Deke says. His latest album\, the modestly titled “King of the Whole Wide World\,” includes guitar styles ranging from bluegrass to Western swing\, Memphis soul\, doo-wop\, and rhythm-and-blues. The title track (“King of the Whole Wide World”) could even be called old-timey\; it’s a tongue-in-cheek\, autobiographical song about being a rich man without the constraints of money or fame. If you’ve never experienced this particular guitar man\, check him out\; you don’t know what you’re missing!

SUMMARY:Performance:Fleet Foxes
DESCRIPTION:Balancing critical acclaim and spontaneous grass-roots popularity\, Seattle's Fleet Foxes have the popular touch! Their late-1960s-based folk-rock style has drawn comparisons to Crosby\, Stills & Nash\, the Beach Boys\, and the early experiments in Baroque pop of that era. Heather Phares of AllRovi.com writes of Fleet Foxes' eponymous debut: \"Borrowing from ageless folk and classic rock (and nicking some of the best bits from prog and soft rock along the way) ... Fleet Foxes don't just master the art of taking familiar influences and making them sound fresh again\, they give a striking sense of who they are and what their world is like.\" Fleet Foxes come to Hill Auditorium with their much-awaited sophomore full-length release\, \"Helplessness Blues\,\" another top-five chart performer and a sure bet for end-of-the-year ten-best lists. The Walkmen are this evening's special guests.

SUMMARY:Performance:Guest Recital:  John Sampen\, saxophone and Mark Bunce\, composer/engineer
DESCRIPTION:Distinguished saxophonist John Sampen and composer/engineer Mark Bunce are both in residence at Bowling Green State University and have traveled all over the world\, offering unique masterclasses and concert presentations for the saxophone and the electronic medium. Their tours have included recent trips to the Northwest\, the Carolinas\, the Southwest\, New England\, and many other locations throughout the mainland USA.   Additionally\, they have toured Alaska\, Hawaii\, Italy\, Greece and Canada.“Mysterious Morning” represents their 2011 multi-disciplinary presentation and is designed as an exciting “seamless” musical experience featuring projected visuals\, interactive electronics and theatrical activities.  Representative composers include John Cage\, Toru Takemitsu\, Morton Subotnick\, Fuminori Tanada\, Marilyn Shrude\, William Bolcom and Mark Bunce.  Actual composer voices are heard via recorded readings and poetry\, thus bringing the composer “spiritually” into the live concert space.The media presentation begins with contemplative \"pre-concert\" chance music of John Cage as the audience enters the performance hall. Special lighting effects lead directly into Marilyn Shrude’s TROPE which is enhanced by an animated visual projection.This is immediately followed by Toru Takemitsu’s DISTANCE\, a work for soloist and sho or Japanese mouth organ which is presented here with interactive sounds and visual images of Japanese rock gardens.Fuminori Tanada’s MYSTERIOUS MORNING III features virtuosic music for soprano saxophone\; the music paints descriptive and haunting sound images representing the title. SCHRÖDINGER’S CAT by composer/engineer Mark Bunce was created especially for concert tours with John Sampen.  This new composition explores the beginnings of the universe through interactive electronics and film.The theatrical SHORT LECTURE ON THE SAXOPHONE by William Bolcom offers a satirical view of the instrument and its infamous past.  Sampen intertwines humorous verbal anecdotes with quoted and original saxophone excerpts while visual overhead projections accent the \"lecture\".   And finally Morton Subotnick⊃s energetic IN TWO WORLDS contrasts traditional acoustic sounds with 20th century technology.
