By day, Jean-Marc Fontaine is a molecular biologist, and by night and weekend, he is an artist. He spent his childhood and youth in Normandy, France, and his dream of becoming a scientist grew together with his imagination and passion for oil painting and drawing. After moving to the US in 1998, Fontaine became fascinated with sculpting. This self-taught artist explores funny and familiar subjects, with close attention to details in human anatomy. Viewers will meet French, Belgian, British and American characters. Fontaine hopes that “”¦these cartoon characters will bring a smile to patients (children and adults, alike).”

Exhibition:Travel Through Maps and Narrative: An Exhibition on Travel and Tourism
2012-09-27 08:00 - 23:30 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, Second Floor
Travel, an essential activity of human societies, has evolved into an industry with social, economic and environmental impacts. From pilgrimage and exploration to trade and tourism, advances in transportation have enabled new types of travel and created new places, some existing solely for the vacationer. This exhibition highlights changes in travel including information on early pilgrimages, exploration narratives, the grand tour of Europe, women travellers, World’s Fairs, the birth of the family vacation and specialized tourism using maps and narratives from the Library collections.

Exhibit: “Beautiful Michigan” - Landscape Paintings, Oil on Canvas

Artist: Anil Dhir

Artist Statement:
For 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. My wish is to create a painting with a simple aim of honestly capturing the very essence of what I saw, and be able to make the viewer feel what I felt. (To read the full artist statement, please visit campusinvolvement.umich.edu, it is also posted with the exhibit.)

The exhibit will be displayed until Friday, October 5th.

All pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement (uminvolvement@umich.edu) if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.

Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
2012-09-27 09:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - 1010
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.

Upon 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.

Then, 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

This 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.

Lecture / Discussion:The Limits and Possibilities of Transnational European Identities
2012-09-27 10:00 - 11:30 | Off Campus Location - Clarion Hotel & Conference Center, 2900 Jackson Ave
Speaker: Dario Gaggio, Associate Professor of History, U-M

Has Europe's economic and political integration created a transnational European identity? To what extent is such identity compatible with others, such as national belonging, religious affiliations or ethnic ties? This lecture will address these questions by reviewing historical and current evidence and assessing the cultural and emotional dimensions of European integration.

The First 2012-2013 Thursday Morning Lecture Series, "Europe in Crisis: Issues Behind the Headlines", September 13 – October 24, will help us think about and make sense of the E.U.'s present political, social, and economic challenges in the current crisis.

Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
2012-09-27 12:00 - 13:00 | School of Social Work Building - Room 1636
(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.

About the Speaker:
Thomas 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’ichirÃ´ 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).

Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
2012-09-27 16:00 - 17:30 | Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210
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.

Lecture / Discussion:Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies Thursday Speakers Series
2012-09-27 16:00 - 18:00 | Tisch Hall - 1014
Karl SchlÃ¶gel, Europa-UniversitÃ¤t Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder)

Lecture Abstract: Professor SchlÃ¶gel 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 SchlÃ¶gel 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.

Performance:"Uncanny Valley"
2012-09-27 17:10 - 18:30 | Michigan Union - Pendleton Room
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.

Most 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.

2012-09-27 18:00 - 21:00 | Power Center for the Performing Arts

Completely FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
Tickets are going quickly, and you must REGISTER for the event at collegetruthtour.com

Let’s face it; we currently have one of the worst economies for college graduates ever.

One-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?

We believe the answer is a resounding, “No.”

There 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.

Join this fun and educational discussion with Herman Cain!
