Exhibition:Operation AB - Katyn
2013-10-08 07:00 - 22:00 (America/Detroit) | Duderstadt Center - First Floor Connector Hall
Operation AB - Katyn: The Destruction of the Polish Elite at the Beginning of World War II, is divided into several thematic blocks. The first depicts the Soviet-German political and military alliance in the years 1939-1941. The next sections present the two notorious criminal operations of 1940, first the Katyn Massacre, and then the AB Operation. The exhibit also presents profiles of several victims, including families that fell victim to both aggressors.

Exhibition:The Orange Revolution in Ukraine: Presidential Campaign Memorabilia
2013-10-08 07:00 - 22:00 | Michigan Union - Art Lounge, First Floor
The Orange Revolution exhibit includes campaign memorabilia from the 2004 presidential elections in Ukraine such as brochures, posters, the ubiquitous orange scarf, t-shirts, bumper stickers, postcards, pins, etc. The exhibit offers a small sampling of campaign rhetoric for and against each of the presidential candidates -- Yushchenko and Yanukovich. Yuschchenko was the pro-democracy and pro-Western candidate, while Yanukovich was backed by the pro-communist, authoritarian Ukrainian regime.

Viktor Yushchenko won the presidency during the second round of voting in December 2004. Visitors will also read about the experiences of two election observers from Michigan who were in Ukraine during those heady days of change.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
2013-10-08 08:00 - 17:00 | Cancer Center - Gifts of Art Gallery – Level B2
The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan, and in 1982, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium, including Dominick Labino, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Exhibition:Greetings from Gibraltar
2013-10-08 09:00 - 18:00 | North Quad - 2435
Reception: Friday, October 11 @ 7:00pm in North Quad Space 2435
Exhibition: October 1-18, 9am - 6pm

The exhibition foregrounds the Strait of Gibraltar both as a geographical unit that separates and links lands on either side, as well as a space in its own right with programs such as fishing, swimming, travelling, shipping, and conquering. Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering, ecology, or regional planning.

The need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.

The work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada, Seville, Cadiz, Gibraltar/La Linea, Algeciras, Ceuta, Tangier, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies, flows, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.

The resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It
also creates a narrative, as if the viewer moved through the space, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.

A note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:
The studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.

The Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a "habitat" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water, food, energy, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary, regional networks, and the geographic project?

The studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave, a gateway to the Mediterranean, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering, ecology, or policy.

Exhibition:Four Decades
2013-10-08 12:00 - 18:00 | Duderstadt Center - Gallery (Room 1019)
Four Decades, a new exhibition featuring the work of School of Art & Design Professor Dennis Guastella and Ron Teachworth will present a retrospective selection of each artist’s work from the 1970's to the present.

A public reception honoring the artists will take place in the Gallery on Sunday, October 13, from 3-5pm. (Free parking is available on Sundays.)

Both artists work in a variety of media, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface, removed, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel.

Ron Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called "Sky Fields" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color.

Lecture / Discussion:Researching the Protocols of the Elders of Zion: Do We Know the Russian Author of the Forgery?
2013-10-08 16:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Room 2022
Since the early 1920s, the question of who, and when, created the Protocols has intrigued scholars and concerned those battling this document. In line with testimony presented at the 1934 Berne Trial, and especially thanks to Norman Cohn’s influential book Warrant for Genocide, Russian secret agents in Paris are commonly seen as creators of a French prototext and, in a convoluted plot, disseminators of its Russian-language translation. Will Eisner’s graphic novel The Plot and, most recently, Umberto Eco’s The Prague Cemetary, are based on this theory. Since the 1990s, the Italian Slavist Cesare G. De Michelis has put forward an alternative version regarding authorship of the forgery: he argues that an “original” French text never existed, and that a Russian-language work was first produced by ultra-right activists associated with the southern region of Bessarabia.

To date, neither of these two principal theories can be either validated or dismissed. As I show in my presentation, the evidence used to determine authorship has been very limited, and, until the last two decades, little was done to enlarge it. Yet, as is clear from recent research, “reopening” the inquiry – reconstructing the historical context, taking a fresh look at documents and at witness testimony– can be surprisingly productive and may well let us determine who was to blame for the notorious instrument of worldwide antisemitic propaganda.

Lecture / Discussion:Delta Gamma Lectureship on Ethics and Leadership
2013-10-08 19:00 | Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Auditorium
Delta Gamma collegians and alumnae, in conjunction with the Delta Gamma Foundation and the University of Michigan’s Office of Greek Life, are sponsoring a lectureship which highlights their national philanthropy “Service for Sight.”

Tuesday, October 8th at 7pm in Rackham Auditorium, Michael Hingson, a #1 New York Times best-selling author, will speak about his story of survival. Michael, blind since birth, survived the 9/11 terrorist attacks with the help of his guide dog, Roselle. This story of teamwork and his indomitable will to live and thrive is the subject of his best-selling book, Thunder Dog, and the major motion picture currently in production.

Michael Hingson and his guide dog, Roselle, saved dozens of lives by guiding him and his co-workers down 78 floors and out of Tower One just before it collapsed on 9/11. In Thunder Dog, Michael leads us through his moment-by-moment account from inside the tower. The book is also an inspiring look at Michael's accomplishments in life. Sadly, Roselle passed away in July 2011 but posthumously won the American Humane Association Hero Dog Award for 2012 in a star-studded gala in Beverly Hills, and televised in a special feature presentation on the Hallmark Channel.

Michael has a master's degree in physics from University of California Irvine and is an accomplished technologist. Michael has worked with inventor, futurist, Ray Kurzweil for more than 30 years and was instrumental in the development of the first reading machine for the blind. Today, the Kurzweil brand is the preeminent name in educational software and technology for students with disabilities for which Michael is a national sales manager--improving the lives of children, students and adults with physical and learning disabilities through assistive technologies. Michael Hingson has a deep commitment to education and is Ambassador for the National Braille Literacy Campaign and also serves as Ambassador for the American Humane Association's Hero Dog Awards. Innovative Speaker's Network named Michael Hingson "one of America's top 10 educational speakers".

Rose, Nora, Sarah, and Ariel Parkington, all multi-instrumentalists, were raised in a wildly musical household where every room carried a spark of song, and when they came together in 2005 they realized they had been a band from the beginning. Their classical training is evident in the cello, violin, and viola that share the stage with guitar and piano; their passion for songwriting comes through in the originals created by each of the four sisters. Their enthusiasm for performing and for each other is something that's making waves all over the folk and acoustic music community. They have a magnetic stage presence and can feel at home in front of a rock crowd at the House of Blues but just as easily adapt to the sophistication of a symphony hall. Says Cape Cod Today: "Their heady music touches deep in the soul’s core; it grabs listeners from the first bar and does not release until they are taking their bows."
