SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Connections: Linoleum Block Prints by Elizabeth Busey
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Busey has been inspired by global travel to explore the forces that shape our world – growth\, pressure\, erosion and decay. Through this exploration\, she highlights patterns from many disparate perspectives in order to celebrate their universality in the natural world. Her work is created by printing multiple layers of ink onto cotton rag paper\, where a single linoleum block is gradually reduced with each color layer. Busey is a primarily self-taught printmaker who produces her work in Bloomington\, Indiana on a press made of recycled steel.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beautiful Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Michigan Union Art Lounge to see this art exhibit featuring landscape oil on canvas paintings from some of the most beautiful places in Michigan. \n\nExhibit: “Beautiful Michigan” - Landscape Paintings\, Oil on Canvas\n\nArtist: Anil Dhir\n\nArtist Statement:\nFor a painter\, Michigan offers one of the most beautiful landscapes\, whether here in Ann Arbor\, up-north or anywhere else. These paintings are my attempt to capture some of the Michigan beauty. I believe that a great painting is a like a beautifully composed piece of music.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
DESCRIPTION:Canan Tolon’s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) In 1997\, an episode of the Pokémon animated TV series apparently induced seizures in children\, which led to the warnings that appear today at the beginning of TV animations in Japan by government mandate. This incident serves as a point of departure for considering how television screens (and televised animations) have come to imply a tricky combination of totalizing strategies and individualizing procedures\, generating modes of affective attunement to broadcast and wifi systems that parallel to neoliberal governmentality.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nThomas Lamarre teaches in East Asian Studies and Communications Studies at McGill University. Some of his written works include books such as \"Shadows on the Screen: Tanizaki Jun’ichirô on Cinema and Oriental Aesthetics\" (2005)\, \"Uncovering Heian Japan: An Archaeology of Sensation and Inscription\" (2000)\, and \"The Anime Machine: A Media Theory of Animation\" (2009).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Climate change research increasingly focuses on dynamics among species\, ecosystems and climates: better data about the historical behaviours of these dynamics are needed. Integration of existing data from ecology\, paleontology and geology\, but their integration is hampered by differences in temporal and geographic scales. One way of bridging these scales is through the quantitative analysis of geographic distributions\, climate interactions\, and functional traits\, using sampling schemes consistent with the coarsest of these data (namely the paleontological and geological data). Using locomotor traits in terrestrial vertebrates in the present and the recent geological past\, Dr. Polly will look at environmental sorting of species by their traits\, the interplay between geographic sorting and evolutionary change in response to climate\, and changes in species climatic niches.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies Thursday Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:Karl Schlögel\, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder)\n\nLecture Abstract: Professor Schlögel will discuss the problems of narratives of simultaneity. There is a spontaneous predominance of time and chronological order in historiography\, for which entirely convincing arguments do not exist. Conventionally\, time dominates. Professor Schlögel will question this dominance and discuss what might happen if historians respect the symmetry of time and space. The resulting epistemological consequences directly impact the question of narration. In his view\, historians have much to learn from M.M. Bakhtin’s concept of “chronotope\,” along with the great writer-philosophers like Musil\, Joyce\, Doderer\, Bely\, and Proust.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Uncanny Valley\"
DESCRIPTION:Oni Buchanan’s concert programming is often interdisciplinary in nature\, directly engaging the intimate connections between the arts\, and frequently including adventurous contemporary works alongside established repertoire\, bringing works from disparate centuries into fascinating and enlightening conversation. In addition to solo programming\, she has co-curated (with poet Jon Woodward) several large-scale\, interdisciplinary performance projects. \n\nMost recently\, they commissioned a concert-length work for piano/spoken text/electronics from renowned electroacoustic composer John Gibson\, which will premiere in Ann Arbor\, and will be performed on tour throughout the 2012/13 season. The piece\, called \"Uncanny Valley\" (after Jon Woodward’s serial poem of the same name)\, explores the phenomenon of \"semantic satiation\,\" searching through repeated poetic lines and musical forms for what is most uncanny\, and most human\, in both language and music.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:College Truth Tour with Herman Cain
DESCRIPTION:The College Truth Tour 2012 is making a stop at the University of Michigan featuring former Presidential candidate Herman Cain and the band Quiet Drive\n\nCompletely FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!\nTickets are going quickly\, and you must REGISTER for the event at collegetruthtour.com\n\nLet’s face it\; we currently have one of the worst economies for college graduates ever.\n\nOne-third of all young workers are either unemployed or underemployed\, 60% believe they will be less financially successful than their parents and over half feel the United States is headed in the wrong direction. Do we need to be accepting of a high unemployment rate or a stagnant economy?\n\nWe believe the answer is a resounding\, “No.”\n\nThere needs to be a serious discussion on how to fix this economy. How do we ensure that a student doesn’t walk across the stage to get their diploma and go straight into the unemployment line? This is not a Republican\, Democrat\, conservative\, or liberal issue. This is not about any particular president\, congress member\, or corporate leader. This is about the facts. This is about the Truth.\n\nJoin this fun and educational discussion with Herman Cain!\n\nBrought to you by Students for Healthcare Freedom
