Event Image DAVID MAISEL / BLACK MAPS: American Landscape and the Apocalyptic Sublime
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

DAVID MAISEL / BLACK MAPS is a solo show surveying four chapters of Maisel’s larger ongoing series titled Black Maps. Composed of large-scale photographs, this exhibition leads the viewer on a hallucinatory journey through landscapes in the American West that have been transformed through the physical and environmental effects of industrial-scale water diversion projects, open-pit mineral extraction, and urban sprawl. Maisel’s powerful aerial photographs exist as aesthetic and political archives documenting the impact of both human consumption and inhabitation. More than mere records, these photographs evoke sublime beauty and apocalyptic destruction, positioning Maisel at the forefront of a complex new approach to framing and interpreting issues of contemporary landscape and culture. Maisel’s mineral-based, painterly color prints transform poisonous human-altered landscapes into subjects and objects of extreme beauty while simultaneously unveiling the magnitude of hidden ecological devastation that punctuates the vast interior of the American West, a space that is often represented in the visual, cinematic, and literary arts as endless and eternal.

Curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, Director, CU Art Museum and Helmut Müller-Sievers, Director, Center for the Humanities and the Arts, Eaton Professor of Humanities, University of Colorado Boulder

This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation, the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, the CU Boulder Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees, and by the Center of the American West.

Event Image LASP Public Lecture—The Sun, Climate, and a New Solar Mission
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM

The Sun provides nearly all the energy for the Earth’s climate system. Even small changes in the Sun’s energy output can have large effects on climate, since the energy received from the Sun is so much greater than all other climate energy sources combined. A new spacecraft experiment to be launched later this year will be continuing the existing measurement record of the Sun’s energy output. Dr. Greg Kopp will discuss what we know about the Sun and its influences on Earth’s climate, and describe the current and planned measurements of this important solar climate data record. Wednesday, May 1st at 7:30 PM in the LASP LSTB building (Auditorium 299), located at 1234 Innovation Drive in the east campus research park. Parking and admission are FREE. Doors open at 7 PM.

Event Image Bonai Shalom Presents Dr. Caryn Aviv: "Side by Side: Learning About the Middle East in a New Way"
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Join Congregation Bonai Shalom as they welcome CU senior instructor Dr. Caryn Aviv who will give a lecture entitled "Side by Side: Learning About the Middle East in a New Way" in conjunction with Bonai Shalom's Friday night dinner.

Lecture with Dr. Caryn Aviv
"Side by Side: Learning about the Middle East in a New Way"
Hosted at Congregation Bonai Shalom
Friday, May 3 @ 7:00PM
Dinner: $15/adult, $12/child


Usually, people grow up learning only one side of a complex story about the Middle East. For both Americans and Israeli Jews, that often involves learning a grand narrative about Zionism and Jewish successes in 'making the desert bloom.' For Palestinians, that usually involves stories of expulsion, exile, homelessness, and the yearning for a state. Recently, Israeli Jews and Palestinians have grappled with new ways of telling each other's stories, to each other, side by side. This is no easy task, and it challenges learners to expand their awareness, empathy, and ways of understanding and telling history. Join Bonai Shalom and come learn this new way of narrating and learning history with Dr. Caryn Aviv, who uses the method in a CU Jewish Studies course entitled "Cultures of Israel and Palestine."

Event Image DAVID MAISEL / BLACK MAPS: American Landscape and the Apocalyptic Sublime
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

DAVID MAISEL / BLACK MAPS is a solo show surveying four chapters of Maisel’s larger ongoing series titled Black Maps. Composed of large-scale photographs, this exhibition leads the viewer on a hallucinatory journey through landscapes in the American West that have been transformed through the physical and environmental effects of industrial-scale water diversion projects, open-pit mineral extraction, and urban sprawl. Maisel’s powerful aerial photographs exist as aesthetic and political archives documenting the impact of both human consumption and inhabitation. More than mere records, these photographs evoke sublime beauty and apocalyptic destruction, positioning Maisel at the forefront of a complex new approach to framing and interpreting issues of contemporary landscape and culture. Maisel’s mineral-based, painterly color prints transform poisonous human-altered landscapes into subjects and objects of extreme beauty while simultaneously unveiling the magnitude of hidden ecological devastation that punctuates the vast interior of the American West, a space that is often represented in the visual, cinematic, and literary arts as endless and eternal.

Curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, Director, CU Art Museum and Helmut Müller-Sievers, Director, Center for the Humanities and the Arts, Eaton Professor of Humanities, University of Colorado Boulder

This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation, the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, the CU Boulder Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees, and by the Center of the American West.

Event Image DAVID MAISEL / BLACK MAPS: American Landscape and the Apocalyptic Sublime
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

DAVID MAISEL / BLACK MAPS is a solo show surveying four chapters of Maisel’s larger ongoing series titled Black Maps. Composed of large-scale photographs, this exhibition leads the viewer on a hallucinatory journey through landscapes in the American West that have been transformed through the physical and environmental effects of industrial-scale water diversion projects, open-pit mineral extraction, and urban sprawl. Maisel’s powerful aerial photographs exist as aesthetic and political archives documenting the impact of both human consumption and inhabitation. More than mere records, these photographs evoke sublime beauty and apocalyptic destruction, positioning Maisel at the forefront of a complex new approach to framing and interpreting issues of contemporary landscape and culture. Maisel’s mineral-based, painterly color prints transform poisonous human-altered landscapes into subjects and objects of extreme beauty while simultaneously unveiling the magnitude of hidden ecological devastation that punctuates the vast interior of the American West, a space that is often represented in the visual, cinematic, and literary arts as endless and eternal.

The Center of the American West, CU Continuing Education, Boulder County, and the AirWaterGas Research Network invite you to a new lecture series.

Beginning on February 26th, on Tuesday nights through May, a speaker with substantial expertise on natural gas development will provide a measured, honest exploration of this controversial topic. Each presenter will be scrupulous about acknowledging areas of uncertainty (“What We Don’t Know”), and emphasizing open questions that require careful deliberation.

CU historian Patty Limerick will launch the series with a talk placing natural gas development in the history of Western American extractive industries. Throughout the series, Limerick will act as moderator. Recognizing that many members of the audience will hold strong opinions, we look forward to honest – and civil and respectful – discussions of a crucially important topic.

Instead of the weekly teleconference that takes place on Wednesdays at 12:15 pm MST, on May 15, BIS will offer a special one and a half hour webinar.  Timothy Mooney of the Regulatory Policy Division will provide a detailed overview and hands on demonstration of two new web-based decision tools that BIS has developed: (1) Commerce Control List (CCL) Order of Review Decision Tool and (2) “Specially Designed” Decision Tool.  These tools will be free for the public to use once they are posted on the BIS website later this month.  These tools are part of BIS’s outreach efforts for the Initial Implementation of Export Control Reform final rule published on April 16, 2013.  The CCL Order of Review Decision Tool will assist you in understanding the steps to follow in reviewing the CCL.  The new “Specially designed” Decision Tool will assist you in determining if an item will be “specially designed” under the Export Administration Regulations.  Participants will be able to submit questions by email during the webinar, and Mr. Mooney will respond orally at the end of his presentation.

The webinar will be held in CIRES Auditorium, which is on the 3rd Floor of the CIRES Building, Room 338.  For information on how to get from Visitor Parking to the CIRES building, follow the link below: http://cires.colorado.edu/contact/directions.html

Event Image MahlerFest XXVI
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Experience the MahlerFest Orchestra, led by Robert Olson, in the lushly beautiful and lyrical Fourth Symphony of Gustav Mahler, composed during Mahler's "Wunderhorn" years, when his muse was the corpus of enchanting German folk poems, Des Knaben Wunderhorn ("Youth's Magic Horn"). This symphony closes with a setting of "The Heaveny Life" which describes, from a child's naive point of view, the wonders of heaven (some not as "heavenly" as you might think!) The featured soprano in this work will be Jennifer Bird-Arvidsson.

The concert will close with maestro Olson leading the MahlerFest Orchestra with the extraordinary mezzo-soprano Julie Simson in a performance of the Abschied ("Farewell") movement from Das Lied von der Erde. This ethereally beautiful song is perhaps Mahler's most intimate music--it is like a small symphony for a chamber orchestra, with solos for every instrument. And With this performance, Julie Simson will be saying her farewell to Boulder, for her career is taking her to another state, alas. Not to be missed!

1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Export controls present unique challenges to universities and colleges because they require balancing concerns about national security and U.S. economic vitality with traditional concepts of unrestrcited academic freedom and publication and dissemination of research findings and results.  University researchers and administrators need to be aware that these laws may apply to research, whether sponsored or not.  However, it is also important to understand the extent to which the regulations do not affect normal university acitivies.  This talk will provide the parameters of export controls regulations within a university environment.

Event Image Opening Reception for Jen Lewin: It's Electric
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

ART/TEKNE: Part 2*

Please join us for a reception, Friday, May 31st, from 6 - 8 pm, to celebrate the opening of the exhibition, Jen Lewin: It's Electric.

It’s Electric is a solo exhibition featuring six new playful, interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin. These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the work on view.

Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.

Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch, one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza, Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times, and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN (Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.

*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.

This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation, the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.
