SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Curating Scholarship: A Workshop on the Visual Presentation of Research
DESCRIPTION:Visual exhibitions of research have the potential to engage publics beyond the readers of a scholarly monograph. Moving research off the page can take a variety of forms\, but always requires careful curation. In this two-day workshop\, graduate student and faculty scholars will gain an understanding of the requirements of curation\, of the relationship between curation and creation\, and of the research potentials opened through collaboration.\n\nCurating Scholarship will be led by Institute for the Humanities Curator Amanda Krugliak\, who will address conceptual questions of importance such as visual choices\, context\, display\, and organizational styles. Logistical factors to be covered include planning\, strategies\, collaborative possibilities\, and generating interest and support. Guest presenters will discuss their experience translating research and into exhibition format. \n\nAfter the workshop\, each participant will have the opportunity to meet with the curator for a 30-minute one-on-one session to discuss the exhibition potential of their own work.\n\nEligibility\n\nCurrently enrolled PhD students that have reached candidacy level as of September 1\, 2023.\nFaculty with an active appointment on any U-M campus as of September 1\, 2023. Faculty are defined as tenure track and tenured professors\, lecturers\, and post-doctoral/research fellows.\nEach selected participant will receive $250 in compensation for their time in attending the workshop.\n\nFacilitator and Presenter:\nAmanda Krugliak\, Artist\, Institute for the Humanities Curator\, and Arts Administrator whose practice includes performance and conceptual experiential installations.\n\nPresenters TBA\n\nApplication and email of endorsement are due Wednesday\, October 18\, 2023. \n\nSelection Criteria:\n\nPromise\, significance\, and interdisciplinary scope of the research project\nThe humanities and arts content of the project\nThe project’s potential contribution to public humanities scholarship\nThe quality\, significance\, and breadth of the applicant’s prior work\n\nTo apply\, visit https://myumi.ch/qGnwX.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Illustrating the Renaissance Book: From Illumination to Woodcut
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a selection of manuscripts and early printed books from the 15th to the 17th centuries that were illustrated with illuminations and woodcuts. Throughout the European Renaissance (1300-1700)\, many book illustrations were exclusively ornamental\, while others focused on enhancing the meaning of the text. However\, as the pages on display attest\, all these illustrations share a common ground: they reveal the aesthetic and intellectual fashions first proposed by Italian artists of the 1400s\, who were strongly committed to the recovery of the past of classical antiquity.\n\nThe word “Illumination\,” from the Latin illuminare\, “to enlighten or to illuminate\,” refers to the embellishment of a manuscript or early printed book with luminous colors\, notably gold and silver. This illumination was prominent in the frontispiece\, or first page of text\, which included the decoration of its borders and initial letter\, and even miniatures\, that is\, scenes with an independent narrative. With the introduction of movable-type printing in 1454\, these illuminations would be gradually replaced by woodcuts\, which were printed from a woodblock that had been cut by knife along the grain of the wood.\n\nAvailable during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://myumi.ch/2m7d4).\n\nJoin us on September 13 for a talk by Pablo Alvarez\, curator of the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Featured Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Collections Case display in the museum’s main atrium\, behind the mastodons\, to see Nature’s Pharmacy.\n\nAugust 2023–July 2024\n\nPlants and fungi play a vital role in medicine due to the diversity of chemical defense mechanisms they evolved to safeguard them against pathogens\, herbivores\, and competitors. From its inception\, the U-M Herbarium has cataloged and described plants—both poisonous and beneficial to human health—and still serves that role today. See specimens of these plant and fungal “friends” and “foes” from the U-M Herbarium collection and learn about how the collection is used for drug discovery today.
