 | 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. |

In Plains Sight: A Personal Meditation on Colorado's Eastern Plains
The Eastern Plains of Colorado are definitely not empty of interest and devoid of beauty, as those who only photograph in the mountains might have you believe. This show of a few of my Eastern Colorado images is my attempt to offer you proof.
True, you have to invest a bit more to see that beauty. It doesn’t smack you in the face like the view of a snow covered 14’er and it doesn’t shout in your ear with the din of a tumbling mountain stream. Instead, it softly touches your heart and mind with the sparseness of its open spaces and it whispers in your ear with a prairie wind. Also, you have to invest something of yourself to appreciate this special place for what it is and what it can do for your soul. If you haven’t tried already, perhaps that investment will start here in a few minutes spent with these 25 images.
I started photographing on the plains in the late 1990s as a kind of ‘personal project’. Like most, I had been seduced by the mountain landscape. One day, out of curiosity, I decided to look east, instead of west, and have felt rewarded for that choice ever since.
Originally, my goal was to photograph in every county east of Denver and I have succeeded – over years and thousands of miles of county roads (most often named after numbers and letters of the alphabet). Now I go back, over and over again, to find those special places that I’ve I missed the first times through. Lately I have crossed the border, both literally & figuratively, as I have expanded the project to “the Great Plains” and have begun making images in Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska and Kansas.
In my career, I have photographed many other subjects and I will continue to do so. I believe, however, my passion will always remain there – on the Plains.
I consider myself an interpretive landscape photographer. I use a traditional camera with black & white film. (Yes, you can still buy it!). In my chemical darkroom, I develop my negatives and personally hand print each image on silver gelatin paper, processed to archival standards. My previous camera was a medium format Mamiya RB67 (some of these older images are here) but I now use a large format Ebony SV45Ti 4x5. I have always favored wide lenses. |

 | 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.

 | The Art of Michel Fingesten: Selections from the CU Art Museum's Permanent Collection
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
curated by Davide Stimilli, Associate Professor of German, Comparative Literature, and Jewish Studies and Lisa Tamiris Becker, Director, CU Art Museum
Davide Stimilli will be giving a lecture titled, The Life and Work of Michel Fingesten during CU Boulder’s Week of Jewish Culture on March 7 at 7 pm in the ATLAS Black Box Theater. The CU Art Museum will remain open until 7 pm that evening preceding the lecture.
Michel Fingesten (originally Michl Finkelstein) was born in 1884 in the village of Buckovice (Buczkowitz), Silesia, in the Habsburg Empire, now part of the Czech Republic, from a Czech-Jewish father and an Italian-Jewish mother, and died in 1943 in Cerisano, Southern Italy, after the liberation by the allies of the camp in which he had been interned since 1941. He was one of the most original and productive graphic artists and bookplates designers of the twentieth century. He is especially noted for his Surrealist and Cubist influenced prints and paintings that capture the darkening mood of Europe as it slides into the brutality and devastation associated with Fascism, Nazism, and World War II.
In March 2011, Davide Stimilli, Associate Professor of German, Comparative Literature, and Jewish Studies, recommended the purchase of a large collection of Fingesten’s works, including 154 items, that had been assembled by an unknown collector, possibly bibliophile Fridolf Johnson, editor of the American Artist Magazine for several years, and was being offered by a New York State antiquarian. The CU Art Museum purchased this collection with funds generously provided by the Program in Jewish Studies, and the Fingesten Collection is now part of the CU Art Museum’s Permanent Collection.
The selection on display during CU Boulder’s Week of Jewish Culture includes fifteen works and is only meant to provide a first glimpse of the extraordinary range and virtuosity of Fingesten’s art, which includes provocative and often humorous Kafkaesque imagery and potent literary citations, which increasingly echo the darkness enveloping Europe.
Little is known about Fingesten’s early years, though there is agreement that he studied art in Vienna and Munich, and traveled to America, where he spent four years and witnessed the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. It is also known that he traveled to China and Australia, until in 1913 he settled in Berlin where he enjoyed great popularity as a book and magazine illustrator. He fled Nazi Germany in 1936 and settled in Milan, where he built a circle of patrons who commissioned and avidly collected his works, including the architect Gianni Mantero, his greatest collector, for whom Fingesten created more than 90 bookplates—three of which are here displayed—until he was confined to the Fascist internment camp of Civitella del Tronto in 1940, and then transferred in 1941 to that of Ferramonti-Tarsia near Cosenza, Calabria. He died shortly after the liberation of the camp in 1943, apparently as the result of a wound infection after surgery in a military hospital.
2011-12 CU Art Museum exhibitions and programs are made possible in part through the generosity and support of the HBB Foundation, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees, and the generosity of the CU Art Museum’s benefactors and members.

 | Celebrated Bookplate Collection Comes to CU - Special Presentation
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Selections from the Fingesten Collection is on view through Friday, March 9 in the CU Art Museum lobby.
**The CU Art Museum will be open until 7PM on Wednesday, March 7 to allow for time to view the Fingesten collection prior to the lecture.**
Michel Fingesten was born in 1883 in Buczkowitz, Silesia, and died in 1943 in Cerisano, Southern Italy, after the liberation by the allies of the camp in which he had been interned since 1940. Fingesten was one of the most productive and highly appreciated bookplate designers of the twentieth century, but the story of his tragic life still awaits to be told. His extraordinary work still lacks the wide public recognition that it deserves. The lecture will introduce this great artist and the collection that the CU Art Museum has recently purchased thanks to the generous support of donors to the Program in Jewish Studies.
Davide Stimilli is associate professor of German and Comparative Literature, and Humanities. Prior to teaching at CU Boulder, he held positions in Italian and Comparative Literary Studies at Northwestern University and in Comparative Literature at the University of Puerto Rico. He has written extensively on Franz Kafka and Aby Warburg. His interests include literary criticism & theory, intellectual history, and art theory.
The evening will open with a brief presentation from artist-in-residence, Jewlia Eisenberg about the journeys that have been shared by students and members of the Boulder community as part of the Ginzburg Geography project. Haven't had a chance to share your journey of love, resistance, exile, work or liberation yet? Learn how you can continue to participate in this on-line project.

| The Theater of Pompey (part of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) lecture series)
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Dr. Tyler Lansford (CU) will discuss why the Theater of Popmpey remained a dominant feature of Rome’s urban landscape for at least six centuries. Built in 55 BC the theater was not only the first permanent theater in the city but also a monument to the glory of its builder—Julius Caesar’s bitter rival, Pompey the Great. In this illustrated lecture, Professor Lansford will explore the architecture of the building, its role in the projection of Pompey’s public image, and its ultimate fate in the medieval and modern periods. |
 | LASP Public Lecture - All Mixed Up: Turbulence at the Heart of Nature
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
It is said that turbulence is the last important unsolved problem of classical physics. But what is the problem? Why is it so difficult to solve? And why work so hard to solve it? Dr. Mark Rast will examine these questions by taking a tour of turbulent flows, ranging from those encountered everyday to those found in the far reaches of the universe.
He'll suggest that while advances in computational capabilities may in the next decades allow fundamental advances, understanding, not raw computer power, will remain the essential solution ingredient well into the foreseeable future. |
