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:My Right Self
DESCRIPTION:Transgender issues and rights are particularly relevant to contemporary questions of social justice and human rights as they inherently invoke conversations on sex\, gender\, sexuality\, behavior\, and sociopolitical hierarchies of power which affect all aspects of society. These images and accompanying text are meant to confront and dispel myths and misperceptions around marginalized and disenfranchised communities.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Saturday Morning Physics
DESCRIPTION:The `Big Bang' model posits that our universe expanded and cooled from a hotter more dense state in the past. This model is now amply supported by data from a variety of observations\, yet a number of questions remain.  What were the initial conditions for the state of our universe at the 'beginning' of this expansion? What is in our universe at present and how does it influence the expansion? We have models (called inflation and dark energy\, respectively) that seem to answer these questions. In both cases\, many of the details of these models remain uncertain. New measurements are needed to confirm these models and illuminate the details. In this talk Professor McMahon will provide an overview of the state of our understanding of the universe and describe new instruments (in the South Pole and Chile) that will make improved measurements of the radiation left over from the Big Bang (called the cosmic microwave background) to help answer these questions.

SUMMARY:Performance:Misty Lyn & Timothy Monger
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Monger is best known for his work with Michigan folk- rock group Great Lakes Myth Society\, which he co-founded with his brother James. But his solo career both predates and follows his time with that band. Just prior to forming GLMS\, Tim released his debut solo album\, \"Summer Cherry Ghosts\,\" in 2004. The lush baroque-pop song cycle earned favorable comparisons to Elliot Smith\, Electric Light Orchestra and early Bee Gees and wasreleased in Japan the following year. His new sophomore album\, \"The New Britton Sound\,\" is a beautiful melding of elegant pop and lyrical folk-rock\, named for the small rural town of Britton\, Michigan\, where the bulk of it was recorded and written. Says the All Music Guide's four-star review: \"Monger finds something epic within his miniature tales of friends and foes\, guitar cases\, mining accidents\, and happy drunks\, layering in unexpected instrumentation\, gently opening the songs up with sparkling guitars and keyboards\, occasionally letting the tunes soar toward their conclusion on the wings of a trumpet.\"
