 | Exhibition: “the invisible connectedness of things”
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The exhibit the invisible connectedness of things created by internationally recognized visual artist Kim Abeles and co-presented by the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History and EcoArts Connections will be on display Tuesday Jan. 17 – Monday Oct. 1, 2012.
The exhibit is inspired by the spectacular structure, colors and longevity of lichens and the fact that they are bio-monitors of pollution. With a 16’ video wall, photos, paintings, puzzles, sculpture, “smog collector" plates and more, the exhibit explores the effects that transportation choices have on Boulder’s air quality. The project has been created in collaboration with atmospheric scientists, emissions specialists, lichenologists, transportation professionals and middle school students, among others. This exhibit is commissioned by EcoArts Connections (EAC) and co-presented by the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History and EAC in collaboration with Envirotest - Air Care Colorado, Manhattan Middle School and Spark: UCAR Science Education. |

The 8th Annual Stan Brakhage Symposium
Experimental Narrative
is quickly becoming a tradition in the world of avant-garde filmmaking and artistry. The Brakhage Center Symposium will again be hosted this year by the University of Colorado, Boulder. In a weekend dedicated to the exploration of new ideas in cinema art, guest programmer Kathy Geritz explores Experimental Narrative.

Locomotion, first published in 1887. - Stacey Steers
Consuming Spirits (Chris Sullivan, 2011, 135 min., digital video): Special preview screening! This film is an
archeological dig, and a crime scene. This film is constructed out of the impossibilities of my own social service childhood memories robbed from others, and many elements made up completely. I do believe that ones life is more improbable and unlikely than anyone could ever believe. - Chris Sullivan

 | CU Opera: Gianni Schicchi & Suor Angelica
2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
by Giacomo Puccini
Gianni Schicchi and Suor Angelica are two parts of a trilogy of one-act operas composed by Giacomo Puccini in 1917-18. Suor Angelica is a drama of desire set in a 17th century convent; Sister Angelica longs to reconnect with her noble family and make peace for her sins, but has hidden a terrible secret from the sisters with whom she lives. When her aunt comes to the convent, Angelica must face the truth of her past. By contrast, Gianni Schicchi is a farce based on an incident in Dante's Divine Comedy. When Buoso Donati dies without leaving a will favorable to his relatives, they connive to inherit the property by deceiving the townspeople with the help of Gianni Schicchi, a newcomer to the town. Yet Schicchi has plans of his own regarding his daughter's marriage and Buoso's wealth. These two operas show the breadth of Puccini's work, from his haunting melodic talent to his comic skill. This masterful combination is directed by CU Opera Director Leigh Holman and the orchestra is conducted by guest conductor Maestro Massimo Alessio Taddia.
