Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
2012-10-23 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.

Presentation:Forums to gather community input on draft policy regarding student sexual misconduct
2012-10-23 09:00 - 16:00 | Michigan Union - The first session is on North Campus
For the past eight months, a team of university officials has worked with many segments of the university community to develop a proposed approach for responding to allegation of sexual misconduct among students.

2012-10-23 10:00 - 11:30 | Off Campus Location - Jewish Community Center, 2935 Birch Hollow Dr.
Few deny our society bombards us daily with negative words and images regarding aging. But are we actively teaching age stereotypes to our children and grandchildren? We will explore and discuss both negative and positive messages in children’s literature. Learn how positive aging attitudes may extend life and how to help children view late life as a vital stage. All books discussed will be shared in class. Lindsey McDivitt has worked in stroke education for 25 years and has also written several non-fiction books about aging for children.

Class / Instruction:Shakespeare’s Life, Times, and Work

We will then focus on the plays – how they came to be written and the (very colorful) theatrical milieu out of which they were produced. Jim Glenn has spent much of his life working in the theatre, with a special interest in Shakespearean productions.

Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
2012-10-23 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical, social, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art, National Museum of African Art, Fowler Museum at UCLA, as well as several Detroit area private collections, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things, Embodied Time, Moving Through Time, Global Time, and "NOW."

This exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire
2012-10-23 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan, Canadian, and British collections, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation, the University of Michigan Health System, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).

Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
2012-10-23 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition "Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire," which features the Clements collection's major painting "The Death of General Wolfe." William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Exhibition:Jesper Just: "This Nameless Spectacle"
2012-10-23 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation, as in much of his work, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty, provocation, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES
2012-10-23 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
The Seoul-based art collaborative, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media, technologies, and cultural histories, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their "net art" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA, which will be added to the artists' website, yhchang.com.

This exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, and the Nam Center for Korean Studies. Additional support provided by the Dr. Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe. “The French Debate on Statistics and Ethnic Minorities: Historical Roots and Present Concerns”
2012-10-23 16:00 - 17:30 | School of Social Work Building - 1636
For two decades French scholars of population and migration have bitterly debated the desirability of state sponsored statistical studies of ethnicity. The use of ethnic statistics has been seen as a significant departure from the state’s customary refusal to record any other information about the nationality of individuals except for citizenship. The controversy cuts across the traditional left-right political cleavages in France, and its intensity is linked to powerful assumptions about the political foundations of the French nation. Few participants in this debate have considered the issue from a European perspective. This talk demonstrates that the current debate is linked to an enduring discussion among statisticians going back to the nineteenth century about the possibility of using quantification to objectively treat questions of nationality.

Morgane Labbé is assistant professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. Her research examines the history of the population sciences and population policy in central and eastern Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries, with a particular focus on the links between population questions, nationalism, social welfare, and forms of bureaucratic government. She is now finishing a book on the emergence of nationalities statistics in this region, a work that explores the interplay between quantification, political claims, and diplomatic expertise.

2012-10-23 16:00 - 18:00 | Off Campus Location - Michigan Theater, 601 E. Liberty St.
A free lecture by Richard Dawkins, FRS, about his new book. Supernatural magic is what our ancestors invoked in order to explain the world before they developed the scientific method. The ancient Egyptians explained the night by suggesting that a goddess swallowed the sun. The Vikings believed a rainbow was the gods’ bridge to earth. There is another kind of magic that lies in the exhilaration of discovering the real answers to these questions. It is the magic of reality–science.
Professor Dawkins is the author of The Selfish Gene and 11 other books. In the lobby after the talk, he will sign copies of his new paperback, The Magic of Reality, a book for children and young adults.
