 | 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.

 | Brown Bag Preview: Rossini's "La Cambiale di Matrimonio"
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Rossini's first professional opera, La cambiale di matrimonio debuted in 1810, and heralded the arrival of a great operatic talent. (The title translates as The Marriage Contract.) In this operatic farce, true love is threatened when a visiting businessman attempts to win himself a wife as part of a contract with a miserly merchant. The merchant's daughter wants to marry for love, and the resulting negotiations lead to comic complications.
La cambiale will be performed by a combination of CU-Boulder students and professional Italian singers in conjunction with the Piccolo Festival Friuli Venezia Giulia. (The students will be reprising their roles from an August 2011 production of the same one-act as part of the Piccolo Festival in the Friuli region of Italy.) It will be preceded by an original operatic adaptation penned by Patrick Mason, Il Teatro del Friuli, a farcical look at the backstage life of operatic production. |

 | 2012 Wallace Stegner Award: Kent Haruf
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
A self-proclaimed “ministry brat,” Kent Haruf grew up in eastern Colorado, where his novels are set. He was 41 before his first piece of fiction, in Puerto del Sol, was published. Haruf’s most recent novels are Eventide (Alfred A Knopf, 2004) and Plainsong (Alfred A Knopf, 1999), winner of the Mountains & Plains Booksellers Award and a finalist for the National Book Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and The New Yorker Book Award. Plainsong became a U.S. bestseller and The New York Times called it “a novel so foursquare, so delicate and lovely, that it has the power to exalt the reader.” His novel, The Tie That Binds (Vintage, 2000), received a Whiting Foundation Award and a special citation from the PEN/Hemingway Foundation.
He lives with his wife, Cathy, in Colorado. Each year, the Center of the American West presents the Wallace Stegner Award to an individual who has made a sustained contribution to the cultural identity of the West through literature, art, history, lore, or an understanding of the West. |

 | Seeing Israel Film Series: Gevald! with talk back by Caryn Aviv
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Gevald!: A Documentary by Ron Ofer & Yohai Hakak
As a child, Shmuel-Haim Pappenhym would cover his eyes during Independence Day fireworks so as not to participate in Zionist celebrations. Today, he organizes mass demonstrations against the State and is the editor of an influential magazine of the Jewish extreme sect known for not recognizing the State of Israel.
In contrast, ultra-orthodox parliament member, Rabbi Avraham Ravitz, served in the Israeli Army, and has been involved in mainstream politics for many years. A map of the world hangs in the Ravitz kitchen for their 12 children and 80 grandchildren to readily indicate the precise location of Mozambique or Ottawa at any given time. Ravitz danced in the streets on Israel's first Independence Day yet secular modern-day Israel makes him want to cry.
As national election day approaches, Ravitz anxiously tallies his party's projected parliament seats. Conversely, Pappenhym rallies in the number of voter abstentions. For Pappenhym, participation in Zionist elections is a grave sin. Pappenhym organizes demonstrations, where the announcer boldly declares “Zionists are not Jews,” to the audience's overpowering response; “Gevald!” (Disaster!). |
