 | Who Causes Third World Underdevelopment?
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
The Western world has reached a level of economic well-being and technological achievement that would have been unimaginable just a century ago. Worldwide, however, most countries remain part of the poverty-stricken Third World or global “South,” and almost half of humanity survives on less than $2 per day. Associate Professor Andy Baker will explore a wide range of possible reasons and explanations for why so many countries remain poor, and will do so from a wide range of ideological and disciplinary perspectives. Examples and anecdotes from Latin America, Africa, Middle East, China, India, Russia, and elsewhere will comprise an important part of the discussion, and the course will also consider the impact of charitable giving and foreign aid on development. |

Exhibit on view February 21-March 18, M-F.
"Accumulate" features paintings by Sunny Bellistion Taylor, assistant professor in the Visual Arts Department of Brigham Young University. Taylor's works are manifestations of her own exploration with the ideas surrounding the definition and conventions of painting. Drawing upon the rich history of this medium, Taylor explores the use of geometric shapes, abstraction, and representation, ultimately creating thought-provoking modern landscapes. http://umc.colorado.edu/artgallery |

 | Highlights of the Collection: Charles Partridge Adams Paintings
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The CU Art Museum presents two paintings by the noted Colorado landscape painter Charles Partridge Adams, including a never-before-shown, large-scale painting of Rocky Mountain scenery near Estes Park, titled Sunrise on the Mountains, circa 1920, recently conserved by the CU Art Museum, and gifted to the museum’s permanent collection by the artist’s sons. The exhibition will also feature the more intimate Untitled (Mountain Landscape), circa 1920, which likely depicts Moraine Park. Born in Massachusetts, Charles Partridge Adams moved to Denver at the age of 18 and eventually became perhaps the most prolific and well known of the turn-of-the-century Colorado painters. Receiving artistic encouragement from Helen Henderson Chain, herself a pupil of George Inness, Adams shied away from the grandiose style employed by his contemporaries, preferring to accentuate the emotive in his landscapes and ushering in a long tradition of modernist landscape painting in the Rocky Mountain region. |
 | Highlights of the Collection: Selections from the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program Gift
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
In 2008, the CU Art Museum received 156 photographs by Andy Warhol as a gift of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts as part of the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program. The CU Art Museum will premier 112 of the gifted photographs which include Polaroids and gelatin silver prints featuring celebrities such as Martha Graham, Pelé, and John Denver, as well as portraits of patrons, friends, and anonymous models. Included among the gifted gelatin silver prints are also landscapes and interior settings, both rural and urban, which reveal an aesthetic of the banal as well as the transcendental. The photographs provide valuable insight into the artist’s blurring of the distinction between “life” and “art” and his construct of “the celebrity.” The exhibition includes 80 Polaroids and 32 gelatin silver prints taken by the Pop-Art master.
Concurrent Exhibition: Warhol In Colorado, an exhibition featuring screen prints, photographs, record album covers and other works by Andy Warhol, will be on view at The University of Denver’s Victoria H. Myhren Gallery from January 20 to March 13, 2011. Also included are 55 Polaroids and silver prints gifted to the university by the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program in 2008.

 | Program Council Presents: Nathaniel Rateliff in Old Main
8:00 PM - 11:30 PM
The first things you notice are the voice and the space. That voice belongs to Nathaniel Rateliff, a man who’s earned the twang and hard-knock weariness that shines through on his Rounder debut. The space comes courtesy of producer Brian Deck (Califone, Iron & Wine, Modest Mouse), who helped transform 8-track bedroom demos into miniature epics of contrast, beauty, and yearning. In Memory of Loss is a stunning, heartbreaking sonic document from a singer-songwriter who’s made his way from a childhood in Bay, Missouri (pop. 60) to the national stage.
PASTE MAGAZINE recently named Nathaniel as one of the Best New Solo Artists 2010 and Amazon has listed “In Memory of Loss” in the Best of 2010 section.
Program Council is dedicated to bringing you quality and affordable entertainment on campus. Acts last semester included RJD2, Pnuma Trio, Chiddy Bang, Mike Posner, Paper Bird, Deakin and many others. For a complete listing of upcoming events, visit ProgramCouncil.com |
