SUMMARY:Exhibition:U-M Library Celebrates Language
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to browse panels about the scripts of ancient Egypt\, indigenous languages of Central and South America\, languages of Southeast Asia\, and more – including the English language and language used in graffiti and comics.\n\nThis exhibit highlights the possibilities for exploration and discovery within the library’s collections\, which are impressive on many levels. The sheer number of materials\, including more than 8.5 million volumes in locations all over campus\, and access to millions of digital books\, journals and images\, makes it one of the largest university library systems in the United States. The collection encompasses ancient documents written on papyrus\, electronic journals reporting on the latest advances in science and medicine\, and materials from nearly every period\, culture\, and way of thought in between.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mark di Suvero: Tabletops
DESCRIPTION:Preeminent American sculptor Mark di Suvero (b. 1933) is best known for his dynamic and monumental works made of industrial steel and salvaged materials that populate museum grounds\, landscapes\, and urban environments around the world. In addition to countless exhibitions and awards\, in March 2011 di Suvero was honored with the National Medal of the Arts by President Obama in a White House ceremony. This exhibition\, organized by UMMA and on view exclusively in Ann Arbor\, features approximately 15 of di Suvero's rarely exhibited smaller scale pieces\, or tabletops\, from the 1950s to the present. The tabletops are not maquettes of larger-scale works but an expressionistic and engaging genre all their own\, an outlet for exploring ideas relating to the calligraphic nature of form\, balance\, proportion\, and movement. Drawing from numerous private collections as well as the artist's studio\, the exhibition offers the opportunity to experience this intimate work in the Museum's ground level\, glass-walled Irving Stenn\, Jr\, Family Project Gallery\, adjacent to the two di Suvero outdoor steel sculptures on the Museum's grounds–Orion (2006) and Shang (1984–85).\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the Office of the President of the University of Michigan\, the University of Michigan Health System\, and Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Recent Acquisitions: Curator's Choice\, Part I
DESCRIPTION:This is the first part of a two-part exhibition introducing exciting\, recently acquired works from UMMA's collections gifted to the museum during the past five years. Recent Acquisitions: Curator's Choice\, Part I presents a first look at artworks\, mostly prints\, drawings\, and photographs by artists as diverse as Annie Leibovitz\, Edward Steichen\, and Rembrandt van Rijn. Carole McNamara\, Senior Curator of Western Art\, chose works that focus on some of the enduring and compelling themes that have occupied artists in Europe and America. One is the preoccupation with the human form as an expression of ideas\, feelings\, and sensations. This selection begins with the tradition of the academic nude study and progresses to embrace different genres\, from both secular and religious contexts. Another selection-landscapes and cityscapes-are each opportunities for artists to speak to our relationship to the natural world-both in how we experience landscape as well as how we construct our own urban environments.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Robert Wilson: Video 50
DESCRIPTION:The tiny dramas that comprise Robert Wilson's Video 50 contain aspects of his hallmark aesthetic: surreal or dream-like imagery\, the absence of a linear narrative\, the conflation of seemingly unrelated characters and micro-stories\, and a mesmerizingly slow pace. Video 50 consists of a randomly arranged set of 30-second \"episodes\,\" a few of which feature notable French personalities of the 1970s-perfumier Hélène Rochas stares down a mugger\, culture minister Michel Guy struggles to open a dresser drawer-and Wilson thought of these as miniature portraits or character studies. The creator and director of aggressively experimental theater\, Wilson first came to prominence with works from the mid-1970s such as The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1973) and Einstein on the Beach (1976). These lavish\, unusually long productions broke and then redefined every convention of theater. In Video 50 his shorter time-based portraits explore the intersection of narrative and still-life\, seductively dissolving the distance between viewer and subject.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:South Sudan: Nationhood and the Challenges Ahead
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE ROUNDTABLE\n\nOn July 9\, 2011\, Sudan\, Africa’s largest country\, split into two nations. The secession is a result of the longest civil war in world history between the north and the south that dates back to the country’s independence in 1956. More than two million people died in the struggle and millions more were uprooted. In 2005\, the international community headed by the United States helped put an end to the war through a peace deal between the two warring parties known as the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). The CPA set forth a transitional constitution\, which called for a general election in April 2010 followed by a January 2011 referendum during which southern Sudanese could vote for unity or secession. The vote in favor of secession was overwhelming.\n\nSusan D. Page is the U.S. Ambassador to the newly established nation of South Sudan. She and a panel of U-M faculty will explore the following questions: What are the challenges facing South Sudan? What is American policy toward South Sudan? What are the challenges of a new country entering the world system?\n\nPanelists: John Ciorciari\, Assistant Professor of Public Policy\; Amal Hassan Fadlalla\, Associate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Women's Studies\, and Anthropology\; Anne Pitcher\, Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies and Political Science\n\nWebcast: Watch via webcast at 1:00.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The History of Geomagnetism Research in Support of Continental Drift
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Rob Van der Voo will appeal to both a science and non-science audience\, because it focuses on history as well as science. This special presentation about the historical development of the use of the geomagnetic field in geological times provides strong support for the Wegenerian theory of continental drift. This talk comes at a particularly appropriate time as approach the 100 year anniversary of the publication of Wegeners convictions about the mobility of the continents.

SUMMARY:Performance:Solas
DESCRIPTION:The Philadelphia Inquirer has praised Solas for \"mind-blowing Irish folk music\, maybe the world's best.\" This Irish and Irish-American Celtic supergroup has not only captured the hearts and ears of fans in Ireland and all around the globe with their blend of Celtic traditional music\, folk and country melodies\, bluesy\, sometimes jazz-inspired improvisations\, and global rhythms. Their fans beyond the Celtic sphere include hip-hop producer Timbaland\, who sampled their music on his megahit \"All Y'all.\" Solas came together in 1996 with no plans to tour or record\, but popular demand led to international appearances and a series of acclaimed recordings. They're hard at work on a new one right now–it's called \"Shamrock City\,\" and it's part of a film project about the history of Butte\, Montana. Come see the band the Boston Globe (which ought to know) called \"the finest Celtic ensemble this country has ever produced.\"
