SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ah humanity!
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Institute Fellow Talk: \"The Voices of Moses: The Idea of Revelation in Early Hasidism\"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will explore the ways in which a circle of key Hasidic mystics dramatically reinterpreted the theophany on Mt. Sinai. Special attention will be devoted to their teachings on what  may be understood as the content of Revelation (if not the entire Torah)\, and how these figures described devotional practices (such as study and prayer) as a means of reliving and continuing the process of Revelation. In closing\, we will then turn briefly to the echoes of these ideas in the works of twentieth-century Jewish philosophers and theologians.\n\nAriel Evan Mayse is a Research Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He holds a PhD in Jewish Studies from Harvard University and rabbinic ordination from Beit Midrash Har’el. He recently moved to Ann Arbor from Jerusalem\, where he has been teaching and studying for the past four years. In addition to authoring several scholarly and popular articles on Kabbalah and Chassidut\, Rabbi Mayse is co-editor of the two-volume collection Speaking Torah: Spiritual Teachings From Around the Maggid’s Table (Jewish Lights\, 2013) and editor of From the Depth of the Well: An Anthology of Jewish Mysticism (Paulist Press\, 2014). His current research deals with the role of​ language in ​Chassidic theology\, expressions of Jewish mysticism in the twentieth century\, the formation of early Chassidic literature\, and the relationship between spirituality and law.\n\nSponsored by: Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Networking Peripheries: Technological Futures\, Digital Memory and the Myth of Digital Universalism
DESCRIPTION:Channeling the promise global interconnection\, and framed as the mark of contemporary optimization\, “the digital” has come to represent the path towards the future for diverse nations\, economies\, and populations alike. In the midst of its accelerating pursuits across distinct global spaces\, however\, little has been made of the “universalist” underpinnings that mobilize digitality’s global spread\, or of the distinct imaginaries around digital culture and global connection that emerge outside the given centers of techno-culture. This paper will attend to experiments in innovation spaces from the periphery\, including the development of rural hack lab spaces in Peru\, that distinctly engage local histories and memory of knowledge work around nature\, technology\, and information to disrupt the dominant logics of innovation and reorient ICT for Development (ICT4D) frameworks. By fostering collaborations between Latin American free software activists across a range of rural and urban sites\, and between transnational media producers and indigenous communities\, such networks press a cosmopolitcal urging to “think with the unknown\,” and open up possibilities for uncovering distinct collective futures through an interfacing with multiple local pasts.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nAnita Say Chan is an assistant research professor of communications in the Department of Media and Cinema Studies at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. Her research and teaching interests include globalization and digital cultures\, innovation networks and the “periphery”\, science and technology studies in Latin America\, and hybrid pedagogies in building digital literacies. She received her PhD in 2008 from the MIT Doctoral Program in History and Anthropology of and Science\, Technology\, and Society. Her first book\, Networking Peripheries: Technological Futures and the Myth of Digital Universalism\, on the competing imaginaries of global connection and information technologies in network-age Peru\, was released by MIT Press in 2014. She helped found\, along with Michael Twidale of GSLIS\, the Recovering Prairie Futures research cluster at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign\, and leads the Mellon-funded Humanities Without Walls Research Project \"Collaborative Innovation and the Global Midwest\" that bridges regional innovation histories with scholars from across the University of Minnesota\, Purdue University\, and the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. She is the faculty leader of the Learning to See Systems INTERSECT project for graduate interdisciplinary training and  is currently a 2015-16 Faculty Fellow with the Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities. Her research has been awarded support from the Center for the Study of Law & Culture at Columbia University’s School of Law and the National Science Foundation\, and she has held postdoctoral fellowships at The CUNY Graduate Center’s Committee on Globalization & Social Change and at Stanford University’s Introduction to Humanities Program.\n\nAbout the series:\n\nThis series is co-sponsored by the School of Information and the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts. It is made possible with support from the John D. Evans Foundation.
