 | 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. |

 | Keeping It Real: Korean Artists in the Age of Multi-Media Representation
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Opening Reception February 2, 2012, 6-8pm with a major related symposium February 4, 2012 in ATLAS 100. Further details about the symposium to be announced.
Curated by J.P. Park, Assistant Professor of Art History, University of Colorado Boulder
This exhibition comments on the contemporary state of South Korean art by offering a unique and unprecedented opportunity to experience new art forms pioneered by emerging Korean artists working in Seoul, New York, and Europe. The artists in this exhibition lead us into a mysterious, ironic, and hybrid reality, a reality that completely challenges our perceptions of the world as we are conditioned to think about it. The works on view are a series of dialogues that illuminate conjunctures between real life and fantasy which present objects and human behaviors through a creative and conceptual kaleidoscope. The virtual reality in their art—a hyper-reality materialized in scientific, technological, and global idioms—unerringly subverts our intellectual, experienced, and intuitive knowledge about art and society. These artists belong to a new generation, born since the tumultuous social and political phase of modern Korean society subdued; without the Cold War, without riot police, yet possessing access to the larger world via the internet, opportunities to travel abroad, and products promoted locally by global corporations. The exhibition features photography, video, site-specific installation, and sculpture and includes the work of eight artists including:
Kyung Woo Han
Yong-ho Ji
Yeondoo Jung
Shin-il Kim
Sun K. Kwak
Hyungkoo Lee
Jaye Rhee
Kiwoun Shin
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the NBT Charitable Trust, the HBB Foundation, Arts Council Korea, Wayne F. Yakes, MD, the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees. Additional funding for the related symposium is generously provided by the James and Rebecca Roser Visiting Artist Program and the Center for Asian Studies, University of Colorado Boulder. |
 | The Anxiety of Influence: Selections from the CU Art Museum's Ceramics Collection
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, Director, CU Art Museum and Kim Dickey, Professor, Department of Art and Art History, University of Colorado Boulder
Drawing on Harold Bloom's seminal work of poetic criticism, "The Anxiety of Influence," to interpret the significant role that "influence" plays within the global history, culture, and tradition of ceramics, this exhibition will present Modern and Contemporary Ceramics as well as selected historic works from the CU Art Museum's permanent collection. The exhibition will feature major pieces by Scott Chamberlin, Rick Dillingham, Arthur Gonzalez, Wayne Higby, Anne Kraus, Graham Marks, Jim Melchert, Linda Sikora, Suo Tan, Peter Voulkos, Betty Woodman and many others. The exhibition will also include works on paper by noted ceramic artists such as Robert Arneson and Ken Price to further explore the conceptual, aesthetic, and methodological influences on Modern and Contemporary ceramic artists. While many previous exhibitions have chronicled the decorative and technological influences of various ceramic traditions as they travelled across Eastern and Western cultures, this exhibition is the first to apply Bloom's complicated post-Freudian theories of "influence" to the realm of ceramics and its poetics, in order to construct a more complex understanding of the medium.

Dave will share examples of student work, lecture materials, and assignment configurations that have been successful in recent semesters.

 | 47th Gamow Lecture: Dr. Adam Riess
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Supernovae and the Discovery of the Accelerating Universe
In 1929 Edwin Hubble discovered that our Universe is expanding. Eighty years later, the Space Telescope which bears his name is being used to study an even more surprising phenomenon, that the expansion is speeding up. The origin of this effect is not known, but is broadly attributed to a type of "dark energy" first posited to exist by Albert Einstein and now dominating the mass-energy budget of the Universe. Dr. Riess will describe how our team discovered the acceleration of the Universe and why understanding the nature of dark energy presents one of the greatest remaining challenges in astrophysics and cosmology.
The George Gamow Memorial Lectures were initiated by the Department of
Physics and Mrs. Barbara Gamow after the death of her husband. Barbara
Gamow died in December 1975. In her will she left an endowment to the
Regents of the University of Colorado for the purpose of maintaining these
free public science lectures at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The
Lecture of 1978 and all subsequent Lectures have been supported by this
generous bequest. |

7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
"The Burial at Thebes," Irish Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney's fresh, emotional rendering of Sophocle's classic "Antigone," will be the first performance in the newly renovated University Theatre mainstage.
Director Tamara Meneghini offers contemporary audiences a fast-paced, lyrical taste of Greek classical theatre. From mask to chorus the performance offers a captivating plunge into the classic Greek style. "Thebes" tells the story of Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, who is walled up in a tomb in punishment for her defiance of Creon, King of Thebes. |
 | Discussion & Piano Recital - Color & Music - Veil of Illumination
7:30 PM - 8:25 PM
Attend the Lecture and World-Premiere Piano Recital:
Veil of Illumination
Enjoy a discussion about the connections between color and music plus a multimedia performance of Alexander Scriabin’s 8th Piano Sonata by Owen Zhou.
Warning: Do not attend if you are sensitive to the use of strobe lights.
Pianist Owen Zhou will present a world-premiere multimedia lecture-performance of Alexander Scriabin’s 8th Piano Sonata.
Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915, Russia) is well-known for his ideas on theosophy and synesthesia, particularly associating colors with harmonies and devising a “circle of color” (represented in the keyboard graphic).
Extrapolating further, Zhou will discuss, then perform, the rarely heard 8th Piano Sonata, adding colored lighting and other visual effects in tribute to the composer’s sensibilities.
A second-year doctoral student of Dr. Andrew Cooperstock and teaching assistant at CU, Zhou holds a master’s degree from Northwestern University, where he studied with Alan Chow, and a bachelor’s degree from the Eastman School of Music, where he worked with Douglas Humpherys.
Zhou was first-prize winner of CU’s Ekstrand Graduate Student Performance Competition and is a recipient of the Beverly Sears Graduate Student Award.

 | Guest Recital: SoloDuo: Matteo Mela & Lorenzo Micheli, classical guitar
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Matteo Mela and Lorenzo Micheli first met in 2000. Since then, they have shared a number of ideas, musical projects, and travels all over the world. In 2003 they formed a duo that has already performed throughout Europe, Asia and North America, and has been acclaimed everywhere – from New York’s Carnegie Hall to Vienna’s Konzerthaus – as one of the best ensembles ever heard. About one of their performances, The Washington Post wrote: “Extraordinarily sensitive, with effortless command and an almost unbearable delicacy of touch, the duo’s playing was nothing less than rapturous – profound and unforgettable musicianship of the highest order.”
