| Energy Legislation and Policy Analysis
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Sustainable Practices program at CU Boulder offers non-credit training in sustainability for working adults. Legislation and policy can have a profound effect on the energy choices we make.
It is incumbent upon the sustainability professional to be familiar with key policies and laws that impact the field. New policies around renewable and traditional energy can directly impact the bottom line of sustainability businesses and efforts.
This course will provide students with knowledge and resources to track legislation that affect their businesses. We will focus on renewable energy, though analysis of current energy forms are inherently included in this subject. |
 | 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. |
| The Mediterranean Seminar/UCMRP Spring Worksho
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
FOR FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS
MEDITERRANEAN STUDIES AT CU BOULDER
The Mediterranean Seminar/University of California Mediterranean Studies Multi-Campus Research Project and the University of Colorado Mediterranean Studies Group present a program of interest for faculty and graduate students in Humanities and Social Sciences.
Mediterranean Studies is an emerging interdisciplinary humanities field which challenges established notions of the nature of historical and cultural development, and ethnic, religious and national identity in Europe, Africa and the Islamic world, and proposes a reframing of key questions in order to provoke a reassessment of long-standing assumptions and challenge the accepted meta-narrative of the emergence of modernity.
The Mediterranean Seminar/UCMRP Spring Workshop*
Friday, April 6, 9am-5pm
University Club 106
Featuring three pre-circulated papers by:
"Language and Identity in the Early Modern Mediterranean"
Eric Dursteler (History, Brigham Young)
"Materiality, Modernity, and the Dialectics of Reading in the Modern Mediterranean"
Neil Doshi (French, Pittsburgh)
"Law, Identity and Membership in the Genoese Mediterranean"
Jeffrey Miner (History, Stanford)
and a featured presentation:
"Mediterranean Connectivities: A Comparative Approach"
Peregrine Horden (History, Royal Holloway)

 | 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.

 | Live Faculty Talk: Exploring the Cosmos of the Moon
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
As we continue to study the universe around us, we have begun to observe
the early universe some 13 billion years in the past. Just after the
Big Bang that formed our universe, there were no stars, no galaxies, and
no black holes. Just gas. This epoch
of the universe is known to astronomers as the "Dark Ages" because there
were no traditional sources of light like stars and galaxies. Studying this time frame of the universe is fundamental
to understanding the universe we see today but it can only be studied from the Moon. |
