Description:
"Ida," a new exhibit in the Exhibit Museum's Rotunda, displays a high-resolution cast of an extremely rare fossil discovered in 1983 near Messel, Germany, but only recently made available for study. The fossil has proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian ("anthropoid") primate lineages. It has "advanced" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded "eeda") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US), BBC One (UK),and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the "dream team" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

3003 Washtenaw Suite 1 - Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104 I have already been researching other Local Exchange Trading Schemes (LETS). I have found several open source solutions and have within my office, the technical expertise to get that up and running. What I need are some other small business owners, professionals and local consumers to help get this thing off the ground the more people that can provide input and who can help kick this off. The process I envision is that the first couple of meetings will be a discussion of what we have researched and whiteboarding the development process. The future meet-ups will fall in line with whatever is put in motion from the first meetings.

The play makes use of different parts of the Museum for each act.

The play has three public performances, Nov. 20-22, starting each night at 7:30 p.m. (A performance for students only will be offered on November 19 at 7:30 p.m.) On November 20, the performance will be followed by a public reception.

In this 2-hour class you will get to experience a variety of recipes being demonstrated by Ellen, and you'll get to sample them all! Recipes will be chosen to inspire creativity in your raw kitchen as the holiday season approaches. Artful food presentation will be covered as well. You will receive a booklet with all the recipes. This class will help you keep your raw kitchen rolling through the holidays!

We will be having a Thanksgiving/Harvest theme crop complete with a festive meal. There is a list of food items to bring to make our "Giving Thanks" meal complete. Initially we were going to choose a venue that was a restaurant, but because it is near the holidays and we have the retreat really soon, I think that a potluck dinner will be more economically feasible. The venue is still (tba). Each person will be responsible for bringing a dish to contribute to the meal. We will have our meal at 1:00 to kind of keep things "formally festive" and we can have seconds or thirds from there at our own leisure. Below is the suggestion list on dishes to bring, but of course you are always welcome to venture outside of that and bring your "specialty" dish. Other than dessert though, let's try not to bring snack food such as chips etc. Also, try to list your dish so that we don't get duplicates. Usually it is not a problem, but today it would be nice to have a variety! Also, Dee Dee will be serving the main meat dish with stuffing, probably Turkey and or Chicken. Jellied cranberry sauce, Macaroni & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Salad, Salad Dressing, dinner rolls, green beans or Green Bean Casserole, Waldorf Salad or Heavenly Hash (Pistachio Pudding Salad), pies (maybe a couple, 1 pumpkin) beverages (diet and regular), paper/plastic table ware (ie napkins, plates, cups, utensils) deviled eggs or whatever else you may decide to bring. Dee Dee is going to do a 12 x 12 scrapbook layout with you on this day. Using your own supplies, we will make the layout together. It will be a winter layout and we are going to have fun fun fun! I'm looking forward to it as I hope you are as well. Invite a friend or two!

In Have a Little Faith, Mitch Albom offers a beautifully written story of a remarkable eight-year journey between two worlds--two men, two faiths, two communities--that will inspire readers everywhere. Event rules will apply, please call the store for details.

Richard Barnes's series of photographs Animal Logic examines the role the museum plays in our understanding of ourselves through the acts of collecting, preservation, and display. Images from this large body of work include photographs of the collections from the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Comparative Anatomy in Paris, the Canadian Museum of Natural History, and the San Francisco Academy of Science. (Un)Natural History focuses primarily on the natural history museum and by extension collecting institutions in general, providing a kind of behind-the-scenes look at museum practice and display.

This exhibition will coincide with the UM LSA Theme Semester Meaningful Objects: Museums and the Academy. UMMA's presentation is projected to serve as part of a three-venue project highlighting different aspects of Barnes's work in partnership with the UM Institute for the Humanitiesâ€"who have selected Richard Barnes as the Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts for 2009â€"and the Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

This exhibition advances a new argument for the origins of what was called “the new painting,” namely that a unique convergence of forcesâ€"social, artistic, technological, and commercialâ€"along the Normandy coast of France dramatically transformed the course of photography and painting (as well as of the region itself). Within this framework, the invention of the camera and the development of early fine art photography in that particular setting will be seen as the specific catalysts that brought about a new approach to painting.

The project will showcase paintings, photographs, and drawings by some of the most treasured artists in the Western canonâ€"Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Claude Monet among themâ€"as well as pioneering photographers such as Gustave Le Gray and Henri Le Secq. Inspired by the scenic Normandy coast of France, these worksâ€"including representations of beach scenes, seascapes, fishing villages, resorts, and the region's pastoral beautyâ€"will be brought together with archival materials related to early tourism and regional expressions of French nationalism from popular culture for an innovative examination of the impact of the then-new medium of photography on ideas of image making, the recording of passing time, the capacities of painting, and the rise of Impressionism itself.

Organized by UMMA, this exhibition is made possible in part by the Florence Gould Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, Masco Corporation, and the University of Michigan's Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research. Additional support has been provided by the family of Raymond F. Cunningham in his memory. Following its showing in Ann Arbor, the exhibition will travel to the Dallas Museum of Art.

Spend an evening with Willy Porter, and you'll experience a rare communion between artist and audience. His concerts are one-of-a-kind events in which amazing guitar chops and hip songwriting merge into a single unit. Porter's acoustic guitar skills have drawn comparisons with those of Leo Kottke, who drew the young Porter into music the first time he heard the "6 & 12 String Guitar" album. He continues to stretch each show by incorporating performance art, live audio looping, and improvisational sketch comedy. Each tour date becomes a unique event, a musical experience much greater than just a review of past, present and future recorded work. Willy comes to town with a new release, "How to Rob a Bank."
