SUMMARY:Exhibition:Featured Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Featuring work by Gina Gibson\, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Curriculum / Collection: Arts & Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Presented as part of the Fall 2023 Theme Semester\, \"Arts & Resistance\"\n \nThe capacity of the arts to challenge dominant regimes and ideologies\, resist oppression\, and envision pathways of change is at the center of the University of Michigan’s Fall 2023 Theme Semester: Arts & Resistance. A theme semester is a university-wide effort to engage with a subject of importance to learning across the disciplines and to public life and informed citizenship. \n \nMore than 100 classes are being taugh this semester that engage with the theme\, ranging from a political history of hula dance in American Culture to a class about carbon-climate interactions in the College of Engineering. All of the classes consider art’s potential to communicate with power and complexity about questions of justice.\n \nIn the Curriculum / Collection series\, the guiding themes and questions of U-M courses take material form in installations of art curated from UMMA’s collection. For the Arts & Resistance theme semester\, we asked fifteen faculty to choose artworks for their students to work with. \n \nTheir selections address histories of injustice and of social and political transformation. They invite us into questions of identity and representation within historical and present-day processes of exclusion and inclusion. They enable us to think about all the ways that art resists\, from formal qualities like materials\, color\, and shape\, to the identities of makers\, subjects\, and viewers. And they demonstrate the diverse and creative ways in which art can play a central role in learning across the disciplines.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, the U-M College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Presentation:Discovery Demo: All About Owls
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way. Demonstrations are free and appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above. Schedule subject to change.\n\nExplore the unseen lives of owls in this hands-on demonstration. Together\, we will use museum specimens to learn about some of owls’ unique adaptations\, like big eyes\, specialized ears\, quiet wings\, and sharp claws. What do these adaptations tell us about how owls eat? How are these modern raptors related to dinosaurs? Find out what an owl pellet is (Hint: it's not poop!) and dissect a real owl pellet to learn about the owl's diet. Come and discover the role of these birds of prey in the food chain!
