SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Linda Stephen's original origami bas relief landscapes incorporate elements of the Japanese textile arts of origami (paper folding)\, oshi-e (paintings from quilted silk scraps) and chigiri-e (painting with paper). Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain. Linda Stephen's origami art landscapes are part of public and private collections across the U.S. and Japan\, from the JW Marriott Grand Rapids’ Sister City Collection to the City Hall in Omihachiman\, Japan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2013 Marshall Weinberg Cognitive Science Symposium
DESCRIPTION:To what extent can human thought\, action and choice be understood as rational? The dominant view in the social and behavioral sciences for decades has been that people routinely make sub-optimal choices. But new approaches redefining the problem of rational behavior challenge that assumption. Keynote speakers at this symposium are leading cognitive scientists who engage these issues from the perspective of psychology\, philosophy\, neuroscience and computation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Architecture and Dictators–OLLI Study Group (50+) 
DESCRIPTION:Starting in the late 1910s\, following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the Fascist takeover in Italy\, modern architecture was supported for a time in these countries. But leadership opposition caused a return to more familiar and conservative historic styles. In the 1930s\, Nazi Germany developed a type of modernized classicism that was unlike the radical designs found in Russia and Italy. This illustrated lecture will describe and \nexplain these phenomena. Kingsbury Marzolf is Professor Emeritus at U of M in architectural and urban history\, having taught for 36 years.\n

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The Golden Age of Comedy–OLLI Study Group (50+)
DESCRIPTION:The comedy of silent films is still hailed by film critics and aficionados as the funniest works in the history of motion pictures. Lacking sound\, film comedians and clowns created a world of physical humor that sometimes achieved the sublime. This course examines the individual artists of the ”˜golden age of comedy’ and considers the more general question\, why is the funny so funny? We will look at some of the early progenitors of silent comedy such as Mack Sennett and the Keystone Cops and pay special attention to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Instructor: Ira Konigsberg\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Ethel V. Curry Distinguished Lecture in Musicology: “Progressive Modernism: Left-Wing Politics and Twelve-Tone Music” - Anne C. Shreffler (Harvard University)
DESCRIPTION:Left-wing politics in the 20th century is usually associated with tonal\, accessible styles\, while dodecaphony is seen to occupy a more elitist\, establishment position. Many composers\, including Hanns Eisler\, Ruth Crawford Seeger\, Stefan Wolpe\, Wladimir Vogel\, and Wallingford Riegger\, viewed advanced music as going hand in hand with progressive politics\, especially during the 1930s. In discussing some examples\, I offer an alternate view to the prevailing historiography\, as well as addressing the complexities involved in linking music and politics at all.

SUMMARY:Performance:Frontier Ruckus
DESCRIPTION:Who's the next breakthrough Americana band? Southeast Michigan's own Frontier Ruckus is looking like a strong candidate and has been getting lots of national attention. In the words of Cleveland Scene\, Frontier Ruckus \"delivers spirited\, acoustic-based roots music driven by David W. Jones’ banjo and fleshed out with saws\, horns\, and other left-field touches. Frontman Matthew Milia’s vocals convey a dreamy\, twangy quality\, like someone who’s wandering aimlessly through the woods at night. He recalls Michael Stipe in his vivid wordplay and oblique imagery.\" What's unique about this band is that they use country instrumentation to depict not a rustic utopia but life along the interstate as most of us live it. They've got an deep lyrical streak\, and each of their albums so far has been brilliantly original in concept. Rolling Stone thinks Frontier Ruckus has \"the perfect recipe for Gothic Americana\,\" and their recent Folk Festival set added more fuel to a growing fire.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Blown Away: epiphany studios glass
DESCRIPTION:A glassmaker from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, April Wagner creates beautiful hand-blown glass at her studio – epiphany studios in Pontiac\, Michigan. Wagner has been working with molten glass since 1993\, and she creates each piece by hand working at a 2000 °F furnace.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Linda Stephen's original origami bas relief landscapes incorporate elements of the Japanese textile arts of origami (paper folding)\, oshi-e (paintings from quilted silk scraps) and chigiri-e (painting with paper). Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Performance:Misty Lyn & The Big Beautiful
DESCRIPTION:A linchpin of the rising Michigan indie/folk scene\, 2009 Ann Arbor Folk Festival artist Misty Lyn pens haunting melodies over simple arrangements that traverse the gothic\, literary fringes of American roots music. Pulling from a wealth of vivid\, melancholic subject matter\, her songs are cathartic and poetically rich works that stand boldly on their own\, but when accompanied by her quartet\, the Big Beautiful\, realize new potential. She writes of her childhood struggles and the ensuing trials and tribulations encountered while working toward a greater purpose in life. While her music also celebrates the simple joy of being alive\, there is always a common thread of nostalgia for things that are lost and those that are fading. What kind of music is it? The question seems almost irrelevant in Misty Lyn's unique world\, but she told a French interviewer that \"someone once called [me] 'gothic country' and I liked the sound of it.\" Misty Lyn and her band\, the Big Beautiful\, come to The Ark with a new release\, \"False Honey.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ellis Paul
DESCRIPTION:Ellis Paul's [www.EllisPaul.com] folk credentials are unassailable. They are as genuine as the fourteen Boston Music Awards he has earned\, as indelible as the tattoo of Woody Guthrie that adorns his arm and as authentic as the musical roots he draws upon with every note he plays. Ellis grew up in Maine but got his musical start during college in Boston while studying to be a social worker. He started to play open mike nights in the Boston music scene during a time when Contemporary Folk was beginning to come onto the mainstream markets. It was a time and a place that nurtured some of the country's top singer/songwriters\, including Martin Sexton\, Patty Griffin\, Jonatha Brooke\, Dar Williams and Ellis was one of its more memorable exponents. With 16 CDs\, a DVD\, and a book of poems and short stories to his credit\, Ellis' songs have been featured on the soundtracks to the Farrelly Brothers' films\, Hall Pass\, Me\, Myself & Irene\, and Shallow Hal\, as well as television's Edand Real World on MTV.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita.

Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:The Flatlanders Acoustic w/sg Joe Pug
DESCRIPTION:The Flatlanders–Jimmie Dale Gilmore\, Joe Ely\, and Butch Hancock–came together in Lubbock\, Texas in 1971. They were an insider's secret during the golden era of Austin music and recorded one album together\; it disappeared almost immediately\, but rare copies circulated from hand to hand for years afterward. The three individual Flatlanders\, meanwhile\, had gone on to solo careers as some of Texas's top singer-songwriters. Lately they've begun playing occasional shows\, imbued with a new sense of what they shared and of what each member–cosmic cowboy Gilmore\, rocker Ely\, and songcrafter Hancock–brought to the group. The end result is a sort of apotheosis of Texas music\, a relaxed\, creative show in which anything can happen and probably will. Tonight's opener is songwriter Joe Pug\, who has moved to Texas and fit right in with that city's storied songwriting scene.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:El Otro Lado/The Other Side
DESCRIPTION:El Otro Lado/The Other Side: Struggles for Racial Justice and its Opposition\, presented In collaboration with the LSA Winter 2013 Theme Semester\, \"Understanding Race\,\" presents posters\, photographs\, archives\, books\, pamphlets\, periodicals\, buttons\, and other items that illustrate a long history of race-related social protest movements\, and that are intended to stimulate conversation and raise awareness about struggles against racism\, past and present.\n\nItems on exhibit are from the Joseph A. Labadie Collection\, which documents radical and social protest movements from the 19th century to the present. The collection\, which is part of the University of Michigan Special Collections Library\, is the oldest and largest of its kind\, having originated in 1911 when Detroit anarchist and labor activist Joseph Antoine Labadie donated his personal papers to the University of Michigan Library. Today the collection continues to grow\, with the addition of both retrospective and contemporary materials.\n\nThe exhibit\, curated by Julie Herrada with assistance from Daniel Dobras and Cathy Baker\, is available during Audubon Room hours: Mon-Fri 8:30am-7pm\, Sat 10am-6pm\, Sun 1-7pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ta-You Wu Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Wineland (National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and 2012 Nobel Laureate in Physics)\n\nIn 1935\, Erwin Schrödinger\, one of the inventors of quantum mechanics\, illustrated his discomfort with the theory by pointing out that its extension to the macroscopic world could lead to bizarre situations such as a cat being simultaneously alive and dead\, a so-called superposition state. Today\, we can create similar situations on a small scale\, such as putting an atom in a “bowl” and placing it on the left and right sides of the bowl simultaneously.\n\nSuperpositions are potentially useful for information processing.  For example\, two energy levels in an atom\, labeled \"0\" and \"1\,\" can be used to store information like the bits in our laptops.  However\, as in the atom/bowl experiment\, we can arrange the quantum bit to be in a superposition\, thereby storing both states of the bit simultaneously.  This property leads to a memory and processing capacity that increases exponentially with the number of bits. This and a related property called “entanglement” would enable a quantum computer to efficiently solve certain problems that are intractable on normal computers.\n\nResearch on precise control of quantum systems occurs in many labs throughout the world\, for fundamental research\, new measurement techniques\, and more recently for quantum information processing. I will briefly describe experiments on quantum state manipulation and atomic clocks that employ trapped atomic ions. This talk is\, in part\, the “story” of my involvement in these topics that I presented at the 2012 Nobel Prize ceremonies.

DESCRIPTION:“Pesha's Journey” tells the story\, in pictures and words\, of Pesha–a Jewish woman born into an orthodox Palestine family who struggled to live a life unfettered by the oppressive bonds of her cultural moment. The photos\, taken between 1911 and 1940\, trace her early life to her education in Germany and\, eventually\, her marriage and move to New York with husband Benno\, the photographer who took many of these pictures. These images and Pesha’s story were discovered after Benno’s death by his son\, Eric Bermann\, who co-curated this exhibit.

SUMMARY:Performance:Joshua James
DESCRIPTION:Joshua James\, originally from Lincoln\, Nebraska\, has been called a singer-skater-songwriter. Now based in Utah\, he's been gaining notice all over with a whispering voice that seems to get inside your mind and songs that take on big themes of family and spirituality. Joshua's new album\, \"From the Top of Willamette Mountain\,\" was written and recorded in Oregon\, with songs reflecting the values of self-sufficiency and living off the land. \"The world doesn’t need another love song\, so I try to sing about more serious topics. I think that’s why people have responded\, because of the honesty\,\" Joshua says. Joshua James never envisioned music as a career\, and that may be precisely why his is blossoming. Instinctive songcraft\, the idiosyncratic beauty of his vulnerable vocals and the unflinching human quest of his lyrics ensure Joshua James a place among the most compelling of singer-songwriters for years to come.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Yahoo! Lecture Series: Geoffrey Bowker
DESCRIPTION:Geoffrey C. Bowker is a professor at the School of Information and Computer Science\, University of California at Irvine\, where he directs the Evoke Laboratory. \n\nABSTRACT:In this talk\, I analyze the development of the scientific article as the coin of the realm for the transmission of knowledge.  I argue that the database\, over the past 200 years\, has grown into a form of transmission and exploration which has been largely under-recognized.  I then discuss examples of new forms of knowledge expression which both deploy databases more effectively and move from a largely logocentric model to one engaging a wider set of senses.  Finally\, I explore the possibilities for developing these new forms within the academy.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) Konoe Nobutada (1565-1614)\, a high-ranking courtier\, lived through the vacillating political power of three successive war lords - Nobunaga\, Hideyoshi\, and Ieyasu. Ohki's talk will examine Nobutada's \"Waka Byobu\,\" a recent acquisition of the Yale University Art Gallery\, and explore how and what led to the birth of his innovative\, large-size kana calligraphy. The calligraphy\, with animated brushwork\, and ingenious spatial distribution manifests Nobutada's determination to imprint the courtly kana writing\, which he and his family represented\, upon the new order of military might. And yet\, his bold calligraphic style reveals the influence of the ethos of the warrior class during his banishment from the capital.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Sadako Ohki has had a lifelong interest in calligraphy. Her essays include \"Rebecca Salter and Japan: Moments Layered in Time\, Space\, Color\, and Line\" (Yale Center for British Art\, 2011) and \"Collage of Painting\, Calligraphy\, and Poetry: A Study of Taiga's Ink Bamboo with Kanshi Verse\" (Philadelphia Taiga exhibition\, 2007).  Ohki's 2009 exhibition \"Tea Culture of Japan\,\" held at the Yale University Art Gallery\, and the accompanying catalog\, were very well received\, and ignited much interest in wabi tea art and scholarship.  Her other interests include contemporary ink art and ceramic sculptures.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Heliconius butterflies are a rapidly radiating neotropical genus widely used in studies of ecology\, behaviour\, mimicry and speciation. Closely related species typically differ in many aspects of their ecology and behaviour\, and in particular their mimetic wing patterns. We have used field selection experiments to demonstrate selection acting directly on wing patterns\, and behavioural experiments to show their importance in mate choice\, making wing pattern an example of so-called 'magic' traits. We sequenced the genome of Heliconius melpomene and compared it with other taxa to investigate chromosomal evolution in Lepidoptera and gene flow among multiple Heliconius species and races. Among 12\,669 predicted genes\, biologically important expansions of families of chemosensory and Hox genes are noteworthy. Chromosomal organization has remained broadly conserved since the Cretaceous period\, when butterflies split from the Bombyx (silkmoth) lineage. Using genomic resequencing\, we show hybrid exchange of genes between three co-mimics\, Heliconius melpomene\, Heliconius timareta and Heliconius elevatus\, especially at two genomic regions that control mimicry pattern. We infer that closely related Heliconius species exchange protective colour-pattern genes promiscuously\, implying that hybridization has an important role in adaptive radiation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:This Is Our Tradition: The Transformative Roles of Traditional Music in Post-Socialist Mongolia
DESCRIPTION:Since the early 20th century\, Mongolians have engaged in nearly constant debate about the present place of the indigenous traditions and culture in contemporary Mongolia. Socialist concepts of modernity and development\, implemented and overseen by a Soviet-backed ruling party\, allowed little room for the traditional art in its conception of a shine Mongol or “new Mongolia.” But as single-party rule waned in late-1980s increasingly diverse proposals began to emerge positing the need to expand the role of the traditional in the conception of the modern in Mongolia. The subject of traditional music\, in particular\, has had a surprisingly important place in these nationwide “discussions\,” which have often played out on the public stages and in the national media. This paper will explore several examples of the arguments musicians and cultural officials have made for the transformative role of traditional music in helping Mongolians understand and confront crucial problems they as a nation face in contemporary\, post-socialist Mongolia. This examination will highlight the multiple senses of “tradition\,” “culture” and “the past” that Mongolians employ as they negotiate life in contemporary society.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series 
DESCRIPTION:Unless otherwise noted\, all programs take place on Thursdays at 5:10 pm at the historic Michigan Theater\, located at 603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor\, and are free of charge and open to the public.\n\nJanuary 17: RENOIR and SURREALIST PARIS in Black & White \nA short film directed by Renoir in the late twenties\, right after he had discovered jazz\, Sur un air de Charleston is a little masterpiece\, albeit unknown\, of the silent movie period. In 2028 Paris\, a mysterious African explorer lands with his aeronef on Terra Incognita. There\, he meets a beautiful young Parisian dancer\, who eventually initiates him to the pleasures of Charleston.\nAn essay in reverse anthropology\, a burlesque and surrealist vaudeville\, Sur un air de Charleston is a singular piece of art. A product of the roaring twenties\, it can be construed as a critique of France’s racial context\, then at the height of its colonial Empire. But it also has to be considered on the much broader scale of transatlantic cultural exchanges. Thus\, we start to envision some of the unsuspected links that irrigate and reconfigure the seamingly neat cartography of Western modernism. \nTwo musicians\, Olivier Thémines and Guillaume Hazebrouck\, invite you with anthropologist Emmanuel Parent to discover this astonishing movie with a ciné-concert/conference. The movie\, accompanied by a live original music\, will be followed by a lecture and discussion on the question of race within the artistic context of 1920s France. \n\nJanuary 24: WILSON SMITH \nWilson W. Smith III is a Design Director at Nike\, Inc.\, Beaverton\, Oregon. Smith is currently involved in Nike's Better World projects\, and is a lead designer as a part of Nike's \"Innovation Kitchen\". After becoming a Senior Designer in 1990\, Smith was involved primarily with the concepts of Nike's cross-training and basketball products.\nSmith established much of the design direction for Tennis footwear throughout the 1990s\, and created many athlete-endorsed products including Andre Agassi's signature line. In 1997\, Wilson Smith became the first dedicated designer for Jordan brand\, and is best known for designing the Jordan 16(XVI) and 17(XVII). In 2003\, Wilson became the Design Director of Nike Court\, encompassing all tennis & racquet driven footwear\, while also designing signature products for Nike endorsees Serena Williams\, and Roger Federer. Black Enterprise Magazine recently named Wilson one of America’s Top Black Designers. \n\nJanuary 31: LISA STRAUSFELD\nLisa Strausfeld’s work lies at the intersection of physical and virtual space: where information structures and physical structures meet\, and where the navigation of information and the navigation of buildings join in a single experience. She and her team specialize in digital information projects including the design of large-scale media installations\, software prototypes and user interfaces\, signage and websites for a broad range of civic\, cultural and corporate clients including One Laptop per Child\, GE\, Litl\, Bloomberg\, Gallup\, The New York Times\, M.I.T.\, Brown University\, the Museum of Arts and Design and the Detroit Institute of Arts.\nStrausfeld holds four patents relating to user interfaces and intelligent search and retrieval\, and in 2006 she was named to the Senior Scientist program at the Gallup Organization. In addition to many awards and honors\, Strausfeld was selected as one of Fast Company's \"Masters of Design\" in 2009 and received the National Design Award in the category of Interaction Design in 2010.\n\nFebruary 7: El ANATSUI\nEl Anatsui was born in Anyanko\, Ghana in 1944. Many of Anatsui’s sculptures are mutable in form\, conceived to be so free and flexible that they can be shaped in any way and altered in appearance for each installation. Working with wood\, clay\, metal\, and–most recently–the discarded metal caps of liquor bottles\, Anatsui breaks with sculpture’s traditional adherence to forms of fixed shape while visually referencing the history of abstraction in African and European art. The colorful and densely patterned fields of the works assembled from discarded liquor-bottle caps also trace a broader story of colonial and postcolonial economic and cultural exchange in Africa\, told in the history of cast-off materials. The sculptures in wood and ceramics introduce ideas about the function of objects (their destruction\, transformation\, and regeneration) in everyday life\, and the role of language in deciphering visual symbols. El Anatsui received a BA from the College of Art\, University of Science and Technology\, Kumasi\, Ghana (1969) and since 1975 has taught at the University of Nigeria\, Nsukka. His works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\; Museum of Modern Art\, New York\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; Indianapolis Museum of Art\; British Museum\, London\; and Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, among many others. Major exhibitions of his work have appeared at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute\, Williamstown (2011)\; Royal Ontario Museum\, Toronto (2010)\; National Museum of Ethnology\, Osaka (2010)\; Rice University Art Gallery\, Houston (2010)\; Venice Biennale (2007)\; and the Biennale of African Art\, Senegal (2006). El Anatsui lives and works in Nsukka\, Nigeria.\n\nFebruary 21: TANIA BRUGUERA\nTania Bruguera is one of the leading political and performance artists of her generation. Her work researches ways in which art can be applied to everyday political life\, creating a public forum to debate ideas in a state of contradiction\, focusing on the transformation of the \"viewer\" into one of \"citizenry.\" Bruguera's terms “arte de conducta” (conduct/behavior art) and “arte útil” (useful art) define her practice. In 2010\, Bruguera launched Immigrant Movement International\, a five-year project that helps define the immigrant as a unique\, new global citizen in a postnational world and tests the concept of “useful art\,” by artists actively implementing the merging of art into society’s urgent social\, political\, and scientific issues.\nBruguera’s work has been presented internationally at Documenta 11\, Kassel\, Germany and several biennials including Performa\, Venice\, Gwangju\, and Havana. She has exhibited at the Tate Modern\, London\; Künsthalle Wien\, Vienna\; Centre Pompidou\, Paris\; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, New York. \n\nMarch 14: LYNDA BARRY\nLynda Barry has worked as a painter\, cartoonist\, writer\, illustrator\, playwright\, editor\, commentator and teacher and found they are very much alike. She is the inimitable creator behind the seminal comic strip that was syndicated across North America in alternative weeklies for two decades\, Ernie Pook's Comeek\, as well as the books One! Hundred! Demons!\, The! Greatest! of! Marlys!\, Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel\, Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! and The Good Times are Killing Me\, which was adapted as an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor's Award. In 2011\, Drawn & Quarterly published Blabber Blabber Blabber\, the first in a 10-volume retrospective series of her comics work. Her bestselling and acclaimed creative writing-how to-graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly\, What It Is (2008)\, won the Eisner Award for Best Reality Based Graphic Novel and R.R. Donnelly Award for highest literary achievement by a Wisconsin author.\nWhat It Is (2008) is based on “Writing the Unthinkable”\, a tried-and-true method creative method that is playful\, powerful\, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or remember. With What It Is and Picture This (2010)\, Barry explores the depths of the inner and outer realms of creation and imagination\, where play can be serious\, monsters have purpose\, and not knowing is an answer unto itself.\n\nMarch 21: KEN BURNS\nDocumentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been producing films for PBS for more than 25 years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981\, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made. A December 2002 poll conducted by Real Screen Magazine listed The Civil War as second only to Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North as the “most influential documentary of all time\,” and named Ken Burns and Robert Flaherty as the “most influential documentary makers” of all time. In March\, 2009\, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said\, “”¦ Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day\, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films\, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves.” The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films\, “More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source.” Ken’s films have won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations\, and in September of 2008\, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards\, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.\nBurns' documentaries include The Civil War\, Baseball\, Jazz\, Thomas Jefferson\, Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, Mark Twain\, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson\, The War\, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea\, Prohibition and The Dust Bowl.\n\nMarch 28: CARMELITA TROPICANA\nCarmelita Tropicana (a.k.a. Alina Troyano) is a performance artist\, playwright\, and actor. Troyano burst on New York’s downtown performing arts scene in the eighties with her alter ego\, the spitfire Carmelita Tropicana and her counterpart\, the irresistible archetypal Latin macho Pingalito Betancourt\, followed by performances as Hernando Cortez’s horse and la Cucaracha Martina from her childhood fairy tales in Cuba. In Tropicana’s work humor and fantasy become subversive tools to rewrite history.\nTropicana’s performances plays and videos have been presented at venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Art in London\, Hebbel Am Ufer in Berlin\, Centre de Cultura Contemporanea in Barcelona\, the Berlin International Film Festival\, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York\, the Mark Taper Forum’s Kirk Douglas Theater in Los Angeles\, and El Museo del Barrio in New York. Her work has received funding support from the Independent Television Service\, the Jerome Foundation\, and the Rockefeller Suitcase Fund. She has received numerous awards including the prestigious Anonymous Was a Woman and fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts as well as an Obie for Sustained Excellence in Performance. She is the author of a collection of performance pieces and short essays called I\, Carmelita Tropicana: Performing between Cultures (2000).\n\nApril 4: PAOLA ANTONELLI\nPerspectives\nPaola Antonelli is Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design and Director of Research and Development at the Museum of Modern Art.

SUMMARY:Performance:Stolen Silver
DESCRIPTION:Stolen Silver is the musical culmination of a decade-long friendship between songwriters Levi Britton and Dan Myers. It's a union that dates back to their days as roommates in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. Their voices are instruments\, effortless and vital to their mutual craft. Their styles swerve along a spectrum from indie-folk to Americana\, from pop-rock to more exploratory soundtrack moments where the spaces in the songs are important to the narrative\, undoubtedly an influence from Myers' work as a film composer. Stolen Silver's sound is quickly evolving\, as is their lineup. Since their initial vision of a folk duo\, they've expanded to a full six-piece assembly\, a determined collection of seasoned multi-instrumentalists and drummers. Half the band resides in Chicago while the other hails from Traverse City\, Michigan–a circumstance that forces them out on the road yet leaves plenty of room for both immediacy and intimacy to take shape. Stolen Silver's hard work has already taken them to headlining bills at LA's Hotel Café and Chicago's renowned venues The Hideout and Schuba's\, where they hosted a month-long residency.
