| Biomimicry: Nature Inspired Design
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Sustainable Practices program at CU Boulder offers a non-credit certificate in sustainability management. Biomimicry is a scientific design discipline that seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature’s time tested patterns and strategies.
This course will provide an interdisciplinary introduction to the design principles and techniques of biomimicry, as well as an understanding of the benefits of bio-inspired design.
Students will study industry and governmental case studies to learn how organizations can achieve greater sustainability by mimicking natural design. |
 | 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.

 | ATLAS talk-Technology for Development- ICTD practicum presentations
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Four ATLAS master’s students will present their practicum field work. (The one-semester practicum is an internship or service project with a company engaged in Information and Communication Technology for Development efforts.)
They will be the first to graduate from the ATLAS master's degree program in Information and Communication Technology for Development (MS-ICTD).
3-5 p.m. this Friday, April 20
Please note: This event is not in the ATLAS building or on the main CU-Boulder campus. It is on East Campus, 3100 Marine St. 6th floor, room 620. The address is about a block south of Arapahoe and a block east of Folsom; paid parking is available at this location. Free and open to the public.
The students and their projects are:
• Kevin McElhinney, who created a free and open source Web-based solar photovoltaic monitoring platform to track solar input and usage, as well as system health, for computer labs. His pilot site was in Laschobas, Haiti, an area that received a large donation of One Laptop Per Child laptops after the earthquake. His sponsor was GreenWifi, Haiti.
• Alexandra Morgan, who has contributed her knowledge of educational technology and assessment to the Haiti Connected Schools project, which involved several large development agencies. Her practicum sponsor is World Vision Haiti.
• Matt Crum, who worked with Inveneo, a leading technology integrator in the ICTD field. One of his trips this spring took him to the world's largest refugee camp, Dadaab (Kenya). His sponsor was Inveneo.
• Nicole Stephan, who worked in and around Kathmandu with one of the largest production houses in Nepal, where free trade native artisan crafts and art are sourced and created. She studied the supply chain, the partnerships with ACP and buyers around the world and attempted to streamline processes. Her sponsor was Association for Craft Producers, Nepal.
