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:Conference / Symposium:2011 History of Art Freer Symposium
DESCRIPTION:When and under what circumstances do people invent the concept of “the other”? This question has been posed and responded to many times over in a largely modern\, colonial\, Eurocentric context. However\, the invention of “others” is not simply a European prerogative: it is a practice common to cultures and societies throughout the world\, past and present. This timely symposium proposes to examine these issues in a visually rich\, historically grounded and contextualized collection of talks and discussions that focus critical analytic attention on the manifold Asian imagination and invention of “others.” We seek to highlight and examine the robust and visually potent technologies of “othering” deployed in Asia by Asians past and present while addressing the multiple contexts\, regional variations\, and sets of interests\, involved. In this way\, we can focus both multi-media representations of \"others\" and on how and why these variable constructions were mobilized around complex cross- and intra-cultural negotiations over time.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Charles Lang Freer Endowment and the U-M Museum of Art\, with additional sponsorship from Office of the Vice President for Research\, Institute for the Humanities\, Rackham School of Graduate Studies\, Department of Anthropology\, School of Art & Design\, Department of Asian Languages & Cultures\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Center for Middle Eastern & North African Studies\, Department of History\, Department of Screen Arts & Cultures\, Center for South Asian Studies.\n

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.

DESCRIPTION:The technologies developed in research labs throughout the university often have great potential commercial value. While this is often true\, the pitfalls in the path to commercial success are diverse and mostly non-technical. Dr. Haddock\, who has used the knowledge from his U-M physics Ph.D. to commercialize technology in tech startup companies\, many with technology spun out from U-M\, will describe the commercialization process for a wide range of applications.

SUMMARY:Performance:Enter the Haggis
DESCRIPTION:A haggis is a tasty Scottish dish consisting of sheep heart\, liver\, and lungs\, mixed with oatmeal\, onion\, suet\, and spices\, and then boiled inside a sheep's stomach. The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast–dynamic and emotionally uplifting. The band’s music darts effortlessly from the traditional strains of the Chieftains and the Pogues to the frenetic pop of early Elvis Costello and even to Latin and African sounds. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition–from the storytelling to the bagpipes.
