 | 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.

 | The Eye Be Not Assailed: The Spring 2012 MFA Exhibition
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The CU Art Museum and the Department of Art & Art History present The Eye Be Not Assailed: The Spring 2012 Graduate Thesis Show, held in the Projects Gallery of the CU Art Museum building, part of the Visual Arts Complex on the University of Colorado Boulder campus.
OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, APRIL 6,
5 - 7PM IN THE CU ART MUSEUM LOBBY
About the artists:
Sarah Biagini
Employing intricate re-photography and compositing techniques, Sarah Biagini's multi-layered films demonstrate the evolution of materials and images through many stages of transformation.
Adán De La Garza
Adán De La Garza's sound installation and performance works explore the territory between socially accepted auditory norms, the act of democratizing audio, and sonic warfare. De La Garza's work reflects on the growing practice of societies appropriating technologies from military tactics in everyday interactions with its citizens. He demonstrates how one can counteract the auditory invasion through small scale acts of repurposing everyday objects and take back control over their own sonic environments. Simultaneously simplistic and urgent, these calls to action suggest that individual political gestures can amass into a collective, stronger force.
Laura Shill
Laura Shill is a maximalist artist who makes work that is a collision of collecting, costuming, performance, installation and photography. Using reclaimed textiles and laborious craftwork, and drawing upon early photographic practices and the hidden mother tintypes of the 19th Century, Shill reimagines the photographer's studio as a feminine, domestic, bodily space where subjects reveal and conceal themselves for the camera.

 | Leveraging Change: Women, Peace, and Security in the Balkans
4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
The Women and Gender Studies Speaker Series, Global Studies in Gender and Sexuality, invites you to attend the talk "Leveraging Change: Women, Peace, and Security in the Balkans" with Jill Irvine,
Professor and Director of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Oklahoma.
This talk examines how regional and local women’s organizations in Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo have used UNSCR 1325 as a tool for organizing and advocacy in three broad areas: women’s inclusion in decision making processes; regional and human security; and transitional justice.
In response to perceived unwillingness by international as well as national actors to implement UNSCR 1325, women’s organizations developed strategies to use this international norm to achieve their goals. Irvine asserts they have done this through a double ‘boomerang effect,’ mobilizing local support through grassroots campaigns and regional networks in order to force the United Nations and other international actors to comply with their own resolution concerning women, peace and security.
In doing so, they have achieved some success in promoting inclusion. They have been less successful in using UNSCR 1325 as a tool for addressing structural sources of inequality including militarism and neo-liberal models of economic development.
Jill Irvine is President’s Associates Presidential Professor and Director of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Oklahoma.
This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Political Science, the Colorado European Union Center of Excellence, and the Center for the Study of Conflict, Collaboration and Creative Governance.
