SUMMARY:Less than Perfect exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Location:  Kelsey Museum of Archaeology \nIn our society\, we are taught to strive for and expect perfection. Yet throughout our lives\, we learn as much or more from our flaws and failures as we do from our successes. Less Than Perfect celebrates failure and the lessons it teaches. Featuring objects that span more than 2000 years and four continents\, this exhibition explores the stories they tell about their makers\, their making\, and their use. \nThe exhibition—with objects from the Kelsey Museum\, the Museum of Art\, and the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology— is organized around three themes. Failed Perfection presents archaeological objects that failed in production to explore how researchers use them to study about ancient technologies. Deliberate Imperfection features beautiful and finely crafted objects whose makers deliberately introduced asymmetries or other imperfections into their products—and considers why artists choose to make imperfect things. Restoring Perfection highlights artifacts that were repaired in antiquity by people who strove to restore usefulness and beauty to broken or damaged objects. \nTogether these themes allow visitors to ponder the tensions between perfection and imperfection in their own lives and to explore how people in diverse cultures have addressed this divide. \nGuest curator:  Carla Sinopoli

SUMMARY:Vagaries of Objectivity / Launen der Sachlichkeit
DESCRIPTION:The Museum Studies Program is proud to support a conference co-sponsored by the Departments of German and History of Art.  The two-day conference\, “Vagaries of Objectivity / Launen der Sachlichkeit” will run from Friday\, January 27 to Saturday\, January 28.  The conference will take place in the Rackham Graduate School. \nThe German word Sachlichkeit/Objectivity signifies an array of related\, yet distinct meanings–from expediency and simplicity\, to realism and functionalism. Since the late nineteenth century Sachlichkeit has circulated in many guises\, receiving both praise and condemnation\, as modern sensibility\, political disposition\, and critique of modernity. This conference brings together Michigan faculty and students\, as well as scholars in History\, German Studies\, and Art & Architectural History from around the country\, to present their research on the various implications and histories of the term Sachlichkeit/Objectivity. \nKeynote speakers include Professor Helmut Lethen (Universität Wien) and Professor Daniel Magilow (University of Tennessee\, Knoxville).  Other honored guests and University of Michigan faculty and graduate students will also participate. \nPlease see the full conference schedule attached. \nSachlichkeit Program poster
