SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Shodo
DESCRIPTION:Shodo is the art of drawing characters with brush and ink to express spiritual depth through the beauty of brush strokes. It began in China\, but in Japan both Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese phonetic characters) are combined to create a uniquely Japanese art. By controlling the thickness and tone of the characters\, the calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. The drawing process encourages calming of the mind and peacefulness. This class for those over 50 meets for two hours.  Tools are provided for classroom use only. Because we will be using black ink\, it is advised to bring a smock or cloth that can be washed. \n \nInstructor:    Konomi Shinohara Corbin

SUMMARY:Other:Organic Reactions Symposium
DESCRIPTION:N-Alkylated 2-pyridones are an important class of heterocycles that are found commonly in both natural products and pharmacologically active structures. Interest in these compounds stems from their ability to serve as models for hydrogen bonding\, tautomerization\, and proton shuttling in both chemical and biological processes. As such\, the development of methods for the synthesis of functionally diverse N-alkyl 2-pyridone-containing scaffolds continues to be important. With this goal in mind\, our group has developed a suite of reactions that convert O-propargyloxypyridines into a diverse array of useful platforms\, including β-iodo N-alkenyl 2-pyridones and α-(N-2-pyridonyl)ketones. These transformations occur upon treatment with either lithium iodide or gold(III) and proceed via either a 5-exo and 6-endo reaction pathway. Under gold(I) catalysis\, we have shown that both the 5-exo and 6-endo reaction pathways are accessible simultaneously\, as products derived from both modes of cyclization are observed. The evolution of our research program and investigations into the gold(I)-catalyzed system will be discussed.\nMatt  Sigman\, University of Utah\n Bringing Modern Data Analysis Tools to Prediction in Catalyst Discovery\nCarolyn Anderson\, Calvin College\n New Methods for the Synthesis of N-Substituted 2-Pyridones

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Tale of Two “Villas”: Luxury\, Wine\, and Water and the Last Years of Oplontis
DESCRIPTION:The same eruption that destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum also claimed the seaside area of ancient Oplontis\, now buried under the modern town of Torre Annunziata. Though archaeologists in the nineteen-sixties and seventies uncovered the sites of what they would label Oplontis Villas A and B\, it was not until 2005 that a comprehensive study would begin under the Oplontis Project. Michael Thomas\, co-director of the project\, takes us through the years leading up to the eruption.  During that time the two sites Villa A—a luxury villa known to many as the Villa of Poppea—would undergo a major renovation only to be abandoned soon after.  In contrast\, the mislabeled Villa B would thrive as a bustling center of commerce\, still active in the wine trade up until the moment of the eruption.\n\nThe special exhibition \"Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero: The Villas of Oplontis Near Pompeii\" will be open from 4:00-6:00pm prior to the lecture.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Smither
DESCRIPTION:Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for 50 years\, Chris Smither is truly an American original. After a series of timeless records dating back to the early 1970s\, Chris' newest release\, \"Still On the Levee\,\" is a career-spanning retrospective double CD. The record highlights the vast catalog of an American music master. Reviewers and fans from around the world agree that Chris is a profound songwriter\, a blistering guitarist and\, as he puts it\, a \"one-man band to the bone.\" Chris melds the styles of his two major influences\, Lightnin' Hopkins and Mississippi John Hurt\, into his own signature guitar sound. His music continues to draw deeply from the blues\, American folk music\, modern poets\, and humanist philosophers. Chris may be best known for writing \"Love You Like A Man\,\" which Bonnie Raitt and more recently jazz great Kelly Clarkson have covered. His music has been covered by numerous artists and featured in soundtrack albums\, independent film\, television and commercials\, and at The Ark he has a meeting of the minds with audiences that occurs in very few other places.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.
