SUMMARY:Exhibition:The More Things Change...The Labadie Collection's 100th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:View selected items from the world’s foremost archive of international radical social protest movements. \"Social protest movements often involve intense passion\, so expect to see some edgy and offensive items on display\,\" says Labadie Collection curator Julie Herrada.\n\nThe Labadie Collection is the world’s largest publicly accessible research collection covering just about every 19th\, 20th\, and 21st century protest movement that can be documented on paper\, from the French Revolution to Occupy Wall Street. It has served as a resource for thousands of people the world over\, from high school students to seasoned researchers\, from young activists in search of their roots to documentary filmmakers unearthing eye-catching images. Books\, serials\, manuscripts\, pamphlets\, photographs\, audio recordings\, posters\, and political buttons are all part of this eclectic group of materials.\n\nView the exhibit during Audubon Room hours: Mon-Thurs 8:30am-7pm\, Fri 8:30am-6pm\, Sat 10am-6pm\, Sun 1pm-7pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life
DESCRIPTION:Fluxus emerged in the early 1960s as a loose\, international network of artists\, composers\, and designers-\"led\" by Lithuanian-born American artist George Maciunas (1931-1978)- that was noted for blurring the boundaries between art and life. Fluxus artists like Maciunas\, Nam June Paik\, George Brecht\, and Yoko Ono\, among many others\, challenged the notion of high art by creating unassuming\, often humorous objects and performances that redefined the terms of artistic production by demonstrating the idea that \"anything can be art and anyone can do it.\" Because of their disregard for traditional artistic media\, many of the objects in the exhibition are-often by design-acutely resistant to conventional forms of museum display. Variously conceived as carriers of ideas\, absurdist send-ups of consumer products\, and invitations to direct\, playful participation by the viewer\, these works attempt to undermine the idea that art is separate from the activity of living one's life. Through 116 works\, Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life will introduce visitors to the study and appreciation of art as an exciting and intellectually rewarding experience\, and to the notion that art is something that can play an active role in their own approaches to life's essential questions.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art and was generously supported by Constance and Walter Burke\, Dartmouth College Class of 1944\, the Marie-Louise and Samuel R. Rosenthal Fund\, and the Ray Winfield Smith 1918 Fund. UMMA's installation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Arts at Michigan\, and the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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:Twelfth Annual Ford Distinguished Lecture in Physics
DESCRIPTION:Humanity has created enough highly enriched uranium (HEU) and separated plutonium to produce well over 100\,000 nuclear explosives. Most of this material is a legacy of the U.S.-Soviet Cold War nuclear arms race but separation of about half of the plutonium was initiated to provide start-up fuel for plutonium breeder reactors that were never built.\n\nToday\, excess Cold War HEU is being blended down to low-enriched uranium (LEU) for use in power reactor fuel and some of it is being placed in reserves for future use as naval-reactor fuel.  Excess separated plutonium is also mostly being disposed of in power reactor fuel.\n\nA small part of the HEU -- but still hundreds of weapon equivalents -- was spread to more than 40 nations in reactor fuel for research reactors that the U.S. and Soviet Union supplied during the 1950s and 60s under their Atoms for Peace Programs.  Today\, a major effort is focused on converting those of these research reactors that are still operating to LEU and retrieving the fresh and spent HEU fuel. As France has demonstrated\, naval reactors also could be converted to LEU fuel.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Speaker - Frank Zarb: Our Most Important Policy Failure - Energy
DESCRIPTION:Frank Zarb was Assistant to the President for Energy Affairs in the Ford Administration. The press called him Ford’s “energy czar.” Zarb discusses the country's tortured history developing effective energy policies\, and explores various historical and current perspectives on U.S. alternative energy policies. Zarb worked with President Ford\, who made energy a high priority in his Administration\, to make a comprehensive plan to move the U.S. away from foreign sources of energy\, allowing for greater national security and allowing for a clearer path for both domestic and foreign policy. \n\nThis event is jointly sponsored by Varnum Law\, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation\, and the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy. \n\nOpen Seating\; Free Admission\; Reception follows program\n

SUMMARY:Performance:AJ Croce
DESCRIPTION:The son of 1970s icon Jim Croce\, Adrian James Croce suffered another tragedy in childhood: he went completely blind at age four. As he gradually regained partial sight in one eye\, he began to play the piano\, emulating records by Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. He grew into a musician who was anything but a Jim Croce clone\, taking off from classic piano blues and growing into a unique keyboard-playing songwriter\, with a preference for vintage instruments and a way of making a lot out of a very minimal song. A lot of musicians call themselves eclectic\, but few can claim this: each of A.J.'s first five album releases hit the charts in a different genre (jazz\, Americana\, blues\, AAA\, college\, and top 40\, if you're keeping score). A.J. Croce has grown as a musician with each new album\, and he's very much a famous name with music that's all his own.
