SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Along the Way: Collage on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Iowa City artist Sara Slee Brown focuses on using images of natural beauty and man-made buildings to create imaginary scenarios that give rise to possibilities outside of everyday experience. Using the computer as her medium\, she digitally combines photographic images and original artwork. She then makes digital prints and layers them onto canvas with acrylic varnish. The resulting surface is more paint than print\, revealing the artist’s hand upon the work. Brown holds a BFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and an MFA in Painting from the University of Iowa School of Art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Proof: Encaustic on Wood
DESCRIPTION:As she paints and constructs\, Graceann Warn’s paintings and assemblages use the metaphor of excavation. Her formal education in landscape architecture and classical archaeology assist her as she attempts to unearth an object or solve a mystery. A full time artist since 1985\, Warn now works primarily on wood panels with oils and encaustic\, and much of her work is concerned with the science and mystery of uncovering and covering. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in the collections of Yale University\, Museum of Art and Design\, New York\, NY\,  US Embassies in Nairobi and Sarajevo\, Pew Charitable Trusts and many others.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Re-Imaging Gender - A Juried Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

DESCRIPTION:Diaries written by U-M professor of archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and photographs taken by U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) are a historical record that links them—and the University of Michigan—to one of the largest preservation efforts in history. Kelsey wrote\, “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor\,” no record of these Christian communities would remain.\n\nKelsey and Swain initially traveled to the Near East to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post World War I chaos\, as the war was far from over in the Middle East when Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on November 11\, 1918. Two Armenian manuscripts that were purchased as a consequence of the expedition are on display.\n\nLecture and opening reception will take place at 4 p.m. on January 14 in the Hatcher Library Gallery\, adjacent to the exhibit.\n\nExhibit materials are courtesy of the Bentley Historical Library and U-M Library Special Collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ramiro Gomez: Cut-Outs
DESCRIPTION:Artist Ramiro Gomez’s life-sized cardboard cutouts\, paintings\, and constructions bring attention to those who toil behind the familiar scenes of luxury and affluence in America.\n\nLA based\, he often focuses on the Hispanic work force in Beverly Hills—the nannies\, and gardeners\, housekeepers\, and pool cleaners.\n\nIn 2014\, he spent several weeks as an artist in residence with the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, mounting his works across the Diag\, changing our everyday landscape on campus. One installation depicted migrant workers in the field\, incorporating cardboard vegetable boxes foraged from the dumpsters behind dorm cafeterias. Another illustrated a groundskeeper tending to fall leaves.\n\nFor his current exhibition\, Gomez will create a room-sized installation of his cutouts in the Institute for the Humanities gallery.\n\nAlthough his works contemplate issues of race and cultural identity\, they more philosophically explore delineations and disconnects between people\, the have and have-nots\, the visible and invisible. His articulated figures are performative\, capturing the rhythm and gesture of the service industry\, their endless repetitions that keep things running. Almost naïve in materiality and process\, his constructions are measured and deliberate actions of inclusion.\n\nSeeing a Gomez figure propped on a manicured lawn—or in a Hockney painting\, or pasted in a luxury goods magazine ad—permanently changes the picture\, and our narratives about wealth and prosperity in our society.\n-Amanda Krugliak\, Institute for the Humanities curator

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Speaking the End Times: Prophecy and Messianism in Early Modern Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:Apocalyptic anxieties were a common feature of early modern Eurasia. From India to Iberia\, the circulation of prophecies and multiplication of messianic movements transformed the social and political orders for Christians\, Muslims\, and Jews alike. Yet these phenomena have tended to be studied exclusively within their particular religious traditions. Through a cross-cultural approach\, the participants of this symposium will explore the implications of these radical claims to authority both within their historical contexts and for the wider field of early modern history. The aim is to set a common analytical language that is perceptive to shared features\, particularities\, and connectivities.\n\nKeynote Address:\nWednesday\, April 15\n4:00-6:00\nMLB Commons 4th Floor\nKenneth Mills: A ‘City of Penitence': Narrating the Apocalyptic Voice of San Francisco Solano\n\nSymposium:\nThursday\, April 16\n2435 North Quad\n\n9:00am\nVisit to Hatcher Graduate Library Special Collections \n8th floor Hatcher Graduate Library\n\n10:15am\nCoffee and Opening Remarks\n2435 North Quad\n\n10:30am\nPresenter: Robert Bast\nThe Messianic Kingship of Augustin Bader as Anti-Habsburg Polemic: Prophecy and Politics in Reformation Germany\nRespondent: Kenneth Mills\n\n11:30\nBREAK\n\n11:40 \nPresenter: Mayte Green-Mercado\nProphecy as Diplomacy: Henry IV of France and the Moriscos\nRespondent: Enrique García Santo-Tomás\n\n12:40pm \nLUNCH\n\n1:40pm \nPresenter: Matt Goldish\nCould Early Modern Messianic Movements Cross Religious Boundaries?\nRespondent: Diane Owen Hughes\n\n2:40pm\nCOFFE BREAK\n\n3:00pm\nPresenter: Azfar Moin\nWhy Mughal Kings Venerated the Sun: Messianic Peace and Cosmotheism in Islam\nRespondent: Cornell Fleischer\n\n4:00pm\nBREAK\n\n4:10pm\nPresenter: Evrim Binbaş\nCorporate Messianism in the Timurid Period: Varieties of Iskandar b. ‘Umar Shaykh’s Constitutional Discourse\nRespondent: Kathryn Babayan\n\n5:10pm\nBREAK\n\n5:20pm\nGeneral Discussion \n\n\nSponsored by the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures\, International Institute\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Department of History\, Institute for the Humanities\, Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and Rackham Graduate School.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes\, Charity Donation Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism\, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather\, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person\, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.\n\nThese Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within\, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead\, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore\, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.\n\nצדקה תציל ממװת\nTsedakah tatsil mi-mavet\nCharity Saves from Death\n     — 156b\, Tractate Shabes\, Babylonian Talmud\n\nAll items on display were donated by Constance Harris and are on loan from the Jewish Heritage Collection Dedicated to Mark and Dave Harris\, Special Collections Library\, University of Michigan Library—except where otherwise noted.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:THE LARGEST PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM SINCE THE PYRAMIDS:
DESCRIPTION:HOW THE 1956 HIGHWAY ACT CHANGED THE NATION.\n\nAlthough named for President Eisenhower\, the Interstate Highway Act of 1956 was in fact inspired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt who saw a toll-free national system of limited-access highways as a way to lift the country out of the Depression and especially to benefit the poorer states of the South and West where light traffic and immense distances made toll roads impossible.  When built the Interstate system did indeed benefit the Sunbelt over the Northeast and Middle West\, as well as suburbs over cities.  But it did give the United States the world’s best highway system\, paid for entirely by federal gasoline taxes.  Today these taxes cannot even keep the system repaired.\n\nProfessor Fishman is the author of “Bourgeois Utopias: The Rise and Fall of Suburbia” (1987) and “Urban Utopias in the Twentieth Century: Ebenezer Howard\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, and Le Corbusier” (1977). He recently contributed “Detroit: Linear City” to “Mapping Detroit: Land\, Community and Shaping a City” (2015).\n\nhttp://www.olli-umich.org/programs_activities/lectures/5th_Lecture_Series.pdf

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flip Your Field: Objects from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:For the third installation of the Flip Your Field series\, UMMA invites Georgios Skiniotis\, Professor of Biological Chemistry at U-M’s Life Sciences Institute and Medical School\, to curate an exhibition from the Museum’s collection of three-dimensional objects.\n 	As a scientist\, Skiniotis creates three-dimensional models of cellular components by combining their magnified shadows or projections viewed from different perspectives. This type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how\, in the absence of perspective\, are we to read elements like color\, contrast variation\, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at\, and at what level of detail?\nThis exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.\nThe UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guido van der Werve: Nummer veertien\, home
DESCRIPTION:Nummer veertien\, home\, Dutch artist Guido van der Werve’s 54-minute film\, weaves together three stories of journeys away from home: the death of Frédéric Chopin in Paris and his sister’s quest to bring the composer’s heart back to his native Poland for burial\; Van der Werve’s own quest to retrace\, in reverse\, the route of Chopin’s heart in a three-week\, thousand-mile trek of biking\, running\, and swimming\; and the story of Alexander the Great\, a traveling warrior who is one of Van der Werve’s personal heroes.\n\nThe film explores themes that are common in Van der Werve’s work: extreme physical and mental endurance\, man’s struggle with the intensity of nature\, the interplay of history and geography\, the power of melancholy\, and the solitary traveler. The artist’s signature sensibility—simultaneously surreal and deadpan—is accentuated in the film by the full orchestra that accompanies him on every stage of his journey. Van der Werve spent a year composing the film’s score\, a classical requiem for forty voices and twenty strings\, and the film’s structure mirrors that of the requiem: three movements of four acts apiece\, with each act introduced by title shots to reinforce this organizational system. The tripartite framework underscores the three legs of Van der Werve’s personal triathlon and the three odysseys that intersect and inform one another throughout the film.        \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Hana Hamplová: Meditations on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal\, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and\, consequently knowledge\, can be lost.  This exhibition\, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection\, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery\, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for European Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than 25 years\, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity\, confrontation with identity\, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together\, these thematic groups form a fictional\, somewhat idealized\, tale in 13 chapters\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.\n\nDrawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles (MOCA)\, the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art\, including Doug Aitken\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Rineke Dijkstra\, Gilbert and George\, Nan Goldin\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Catherine Opie\, Herb Ritts\, Thomas Ruff\, Andres Serrano\, and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion\, and Academic Affairs\, Department of the History of Art\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Residential College\, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Medicinal Plants and Gardens: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the upcoming 2015 opening of the new Medicinal Garden at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The earliest botanical garden at the University was a pharmaceutical garden established in 1897 just off the Diag\, at the heart of Central Campus. The new garden\, developed in partnership with the College of Pharmacy and Medical School faculty\, will continue that legacy\, aiming to explore the botanical origins of historical and current medicines\, and to promote a better understanding of the profound relationship between plants and human health.\nPreceding the garden’s opening\, this exhibition at UMMA will feature rarely seen archival plant specimens\, deposited by pharmaceutical companies at the University Herbarium\, along with newer herbarium specimens that reveal the captivating forms of these medicinal plants. These dried and pressed plant specimens will be accompanied by the presentation of the few remaining historic images of the original pharmaceutical garden\, as well as a drawing of the layout of new garden at Matthaei\, which is uniquely organized according to the systems of the human body that these medicinal plants are used to treat.\nThis exhibition is part of the U-M Collections Collaborations series\, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan. The U-M Collections Collaborations series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:PICS Career Event: How to Get a Job at a Think Tank
DESCRIPTION:Think tanks are non-profit organizations that study and advocate for public policy options. Once described as \"universities without students\,\" they range from small centers that focus on particular subjects to major institutions employing hundreds of people. Traditionally\, much of their work came in the form of policy papers\, but they now place as much or more emphasis on media work\, blogging\, and outreach to politicians\, their staffs\, and the general public. Jobs at think tanks go well beyond those focusing on public policy\, and include media\, government relations\, and development\, but for all positions\, familiarity with the major issues of the day\, and the institution's position on them\, is essential. Applications for positions at think tanks are highly-competitive\, but there are strategies you can follow that will help you succeed -- and many of these strategies are applicable not just to think tanks\, but to public policy positions and jobs at non-profits more broadly.\n\nTed R. Bromund is the Senior Research Fellow in Anglo-American Relations at The Heritage Foundation\, a Washington\, DC-based think tank. Dr. Bromund received his PhD from Yale University in 1999\, and specializes in contemporary British policy\, relations between the US\, the UK\, and the EU\, intentional security treaties\, and international organizations such as Interpol. He is a columnist for newspapers in the US and UK\, and contributes regularly to the Weekly Standard\, National Review\, Fox News\, and other publications. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Strategic Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington\, DC. Before joining Heritage\, Bromund was the Associate Director at Yale's International Security Studies\, a center for teaching and research in grand strategy and international history. At Yale\, he taught British imperial history\, sports history\, and the core course for Yale's International Relations MA program.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Forensic Proofs of Age and the Enactment of Childhood in Colonial India\,\" Isita Pande\, Queen's University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk scrutinizes a slew of rape cases from colonial India in which either the victim’s tender age was taken as proof of a crime or the perpetrator’s youth was seen as evidence of innocence. In cases where forensics failed to confirm chronological age\, judges referenced moral understandings of childhood and sexual codes of conduct to sort children from adults. Tracing the gap that opened up between clear enactments on childhood and fuzzy proofs of age\, this talk asks why age remained a fundamental element of legal identity and social order and whether age can function as a useful category of analysis in every historical context.\n\nIshita Pande is Associate Professor of History and Gender Studies at Queen's University\, focusing on post/colonial South Asia and the British Empire. She is the author of Medicine\, Race and Liberalism in British Bengal: Symptoms of Empire (2010). She is currently working on the emergence of childhood and sexuality as disciplinary and governmental problems in the early twentieth century\, and the place of scientific and legal discourses on childhood to the idea of national development in India. This book-length project is provisionally titled\, \"A Developing State: Children\, Sexuality and India’s Coming of Age.\"\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Warren Herb Wagner Guest Lecture in Plant Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe unequal distribution of taxa across the globe has intrigued scientists for a long time. In the Neotropics\, the observation that different biomes present different species composition has led ecologists\, evolutionary biologists\, systematists and biogeographers to search for explanations to this pattern for a long time. Indeed\, few issues have been as intriguing and exciting to scientists as the origin and evolution of the Neotropical biota. A lot of effort has been devoted to understanding the causes of the high diversity encountered in this region\, and it is now clear that both evolutionary and ecological factors have played key roles for the assembly of this biota. As such\, integrative approaches\, including information from phylogenetics\, ecology\, geology\, and climatology are not just useful but critical for a better understanding of the origin and evolution of the Neotropical biota. In this lecture\, I use the plant family Bignoniaceae as a model for investigating the history of Tropical ecosystems\, in particular the Neotropics where this plant family is most abundant and diverse.\n\nPlease join us for a preseminar reception from 3:15 - 4:00 p.m. in Room 2060 Kraus Natural Science Building.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Without Cassini – Colbert and the Administrative Cartography of the French Provinces\, 1661-1683
DESCRIPTION:Jean Boutier\, Directeur d’Etudes at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Marseille) and visiting scholar in the U-M Department of History\, discusses new research on a little known project to map France\, initiated by Jean-Baptiste Colbert (1619-1683)\, the powerful minister to Louis XIV.\n\nAfter the death of Cardinal Mazarin in 1661\, Colbert became minister of finance in 1665. Colbert founded the Paris Observatory\, the Academy of Sciences\, and the French Academy of Rome. Appointing the astronomer Jean-Dominique Cassini (1625-1712) to direct the Observatory\, Colbert and Cassini initiated the geodetic survey of France. This effort led to the first modern topographic map of a nation\, completed by a succession of Cassini’s descendants.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sola: Dances by and for Women- RESCHEDULED TO APRIL 9 & 10
DESCRIPTION:Sola brings together six women choreographer/performers from across the U.S. to perform original works in five cities in 2014-15. As a creative enterprise launched by and for women dance artists\, it confronts the limitations that exist for professional women working in the field of contemporary dance and academia. Andee Scott\, an assistant professor of dance at the University of South Florida\, spearheaded the first phase of the project as a mechanism to highlight the biases that exist against women choreographers. Sola is a mechanism that promotes ways to be disobedient to the dominant narrative through lively\, vibrant\, complicated\, and luscious performance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2015 Annual Ermine Cowles Case Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Biologists and the public increasingly appreciate the diverse and pervasive effects of humans on natural systems\, but data are difficult to acquire for more than a few select species and over the past few decades\, centuries\, and millennia needed to recognize change\, discriminate between natural and human drivers\, and establish natural baseline conditions\, all critical to ecological assessment and restoration. Death assemblages — the actively accumulating organic remains encountered in present-day seabeds and landscapes\, as distinct from permanently buried fossil assemblages — are an underexploited source of ecological historical information at precisely these scales. Field work\, experiments\, and statistical exploration of ‘live-dead agreement’ in modern environments\, originally motivated to better understand the formation of ancient fossil assemblages\, reveal that dead shell and bone assemblages differ from the local living community primarily because they are temporally coarse\, time-averaged samples\, contrary to concerns that postmortem bias dominates. Time-averaging damps the ability of the dead to detect small-scale variability\, but promotes their ability to inventory regional diversity\, evaluate historic habitat use\, and identify now-absent species\, community states\, and anthropogenically shifted baselines.

SUMMARY:Performance:Captain Ivory
DESCRIPTION:Your family’s record collection just hitched a ride a generation forward\, met a few genres along the way\, and started a rock band called Captain Ivory. It’s dirty\, in-your-face\, hands-inside-the-vehicle-at-all times rock 'n’ roll. This quintet came to Nashville by way of Ypsilanti and then Detroit\, where they kept their ears to the pavement to blend sounds both new and old\, sounds of legends who’ve walked before\, with a twist of new that is sure to get your feet tapping and hands clapping. Think Jack White with a bit of Radiohead\, Derek Trucks\, and more! This band has a following in Europe\, where MuzikaleVibe in the Netherlands writes: “Occasionally we come across unknown\, but ridiculously good music to which we are very excited about\; such is the case when we found Captain Ivory.”
