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:Inclusion Requires Fracturing
DESCRIPTION:Location:  University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \nAs museums strive to serve broad\, ever-diversifying publics\, it is no longer possible to deny the ways museums mirror and reinforce racial\, cultural\, and class inequities of the broader society. Skillful racial and cultural representation in interpretation and programming is not only an intellectual exercise; it is an ethical responsibility that requires fracturing the known through consistent individual and institutional self-reflection and action. This talk focuses on the challenging and often painful internal work toward developing diversity and strategies and actions supporting systemic change in museum representation\, interpretation\, and ideation. \nSwarupa Anila is director of interpretive engagement at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Key issues she pursues in interpretive planning practice include examining whose voices and perspectives are missing in museum interpretation\, how to integrate visitor voices to flatten museum and art historical knowledge hierarchies\, and how to design museum interpretation that supports dynamic\, meaningful visitor engagements with art. \nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of Art \n  \nMSP Dec 6 Anila lecture

SUMMARY:Specimen Backlogs in the Age of Digitization: Strategies for Shedding Light on "Dark Data" before They Become Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:Millions of specimens and their associated data are housed in museum collections\, but only a small fraction of these are readily accessible through electronic means. These are now being referred to as “dark data” after a  term coined in the business/IT community  for the information assets that organizations collect\, process and store during regular business activities\, but generally fail to use for other purposes. Although dark data may represent significant costs\, they remain largely underutilized or unleveraged. In the context of museum collections\, these dark data are enormously valuable but untapped resources for the institution as well as the wider research and educational communities.  This has prompted many museums to step up efforts to digitize their collections so that they can be shared with a larger audience. \nSpecimen backlogs\, which may be comprised of partly cataloged or uncataloged material\, represent a substantial hindrance to the digitization of museum collections.  Backlogs may include data that are unstructured (and therefore difficult to organize) or\, in many cases\, simply unknown. Backlogs are particularly challenging when resources are limited and significant effort is required to make the data useful or accessible. In this talk I will provide an overview of digitization and organizational initiatives underway in the UM Museum of Paleontology Invertebrate Collections that are designed to deal with backlogs and “dark data” so that the value of the collections to the University and broader research/educational community is more fully realized. \nPresented by Daniel Miller – Collections Manager\, UM Paleontology Museum \nDecember 9 at 12:00 in UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room (125)
