SUMMARY:Object Lessons: Recollecting Museum Histories at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Kerstin Barndt in collaboration with Richard Barnes and Amanda Krugliak\, with original commissioned artwork by Richard Barnes \nThe history of the modern research university is unthinkable without collecting. At the University Michigan\, the first objects brought to campus in the late 1830s included a piece of copper from the Upper Peninsula\, bird skins\, an Anishinaabe canoe and pressed plants. Today’s collections encompass over 25 million specimens and artifacts. As the last exhibition before the closing of the Natural History Museum in the Ruthven Museums Building\, Object Lessons activates the memory of the museums building and richly illustrates the University of Michigan’s lasting effort to build collections in support of its academic mission and for the public. \nShowcasing original objects dating from 1837 to the present\, Object Lessons affords visitors a synthetic look at 200 years of collecting for science. Museum specimens\, artifacts and documents from the archives bring into focus the University Museum’s importance to early state history\, its first global collecting expeditions\, the changing relationship between culture and nature\, science and religion; and the transformation of research and collecting practices from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Not all of U-M’s historical collections survive; the exhibition reflects this fact by focusing also on the life cycle of collections\, on points of origin and decline\, and on the shifting valorization of objects over time. \nObject Lessons draws on collections housed in the University’s research museums (Paleontology\, Zoology\, and Anthropological Archeology)\, as well as the University Herbarium\, the Museum of Natural History\, the Stephen S. Clark Map Library\, the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments\, the Bentley Historical Library\, and the University of Michigan Library. \nMore information can be found here. \n

SUMMARY:Curatorial Dilemmas: Representing Africa at UMMA with Pamela McClusky
DESCRIPTION:A series of talks by leading curators and thinkers in African art will launch a reimagining process for the forthcoming reinstallation of the University of Michigan Museum of Art’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African Art. Pamela McClusky\, Curator of African and Oceanic Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, will be the second speaker in this series to contribute reflections on her own groundbreaking work in the display of African art. \nMcClusky established a department for the Art of Africa\, Oceania and the Americas at the Seattle Art Museum in the 1980s.  It became the museum’s fastest growing department\, receiving several significant collections\, and hosting a vast range of exhibitions.  Honoring the depth of the African holdings\, she led a collaborative process with African artists\, scholars\, and advisors to create a national tour\, publication and web resource entitled: Long Steps Never Broke a Back in 2002-2004.\nDuring the last decade\, she has collaborated on exhibitions such as Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth\, Gauguin and Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise\, and Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats. When the Seattle Art Museum expanded in 2007\, she curated multiple galleries of African art\, along with experimental installations that mixed cultural perspectives and cross continental boundaries. In 2012\, she led an effort to place Australian art in the permanent galleries and oversaw an exhibition\, publication and tour called Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art.  Recently\, she was the lead curator for Disguise: Masks and Global African Art\, a national touring exhibition that combined masks of the past with masquerading of the present\, and Mood Indigo: Textiles from Around the World.  She is now working on a new design and interpretation of the African collection galleries which will focus on the distinctions between public and private art and the ways they are presented in museums. \nAdditional featured speakers include:\nThursday\, October 19\, 7 p.m.: Mary (Polly) Nooter Roberts\, Professor\, UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance and Consulting Curator for African Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) \nThursday\, November 30\, 7 p.m.: Christa Clarke\, Senior Curator Arts of Global Africa\, Newark Museum \n  \n\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. \nThis lecture series is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Museum Studies Program. \nThe series is presented in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa (on view from August 19-December 31\, 2017). \n\nCuratorial_Dilemmas_poster

SUMMARY:What Happens When a Museum Is Something Other than a Museum?
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Zachary Kopin\, PhD\, History \nFriday\, November 3 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art auditorium \n  \nWhat Happens When a Museum Is Something Other than a Museum? \nConstitution Hill was once a notorious prison in colonial and apartheid South Africa. Churchill\, Ghandi\, Nelson and Winnie Mandela\, and Fatima Meer were imprisoned there. It was not uncommon for 75 prisoners to find themselves confined to a cell the size of a classroom. At the turn of the millennium\, in an effort to reclaim the space\, the newly democratic South Africa decided to place its Constitutional Court on the site\, while the city\, provincial\, and national governments created an entity to manage the site and tell its history. Many know Constitution Hill as a museum. Its formal name\, however\, is the Constitution Hill Development Company. \nWhat happens to a museum when its primary function is not to put its collections on display? This talk will discuss how the mandate to develop a precinct changes how a museum operates — the opportunities and risks that mandate creates. And how\, in a country struggling to recover from the damage of its past\, one balances reclamation against the demands of heritage preservation. \n  \nMuseums at Noon_Kopin

SUMMARY:Narrative and Nationalism: Islamic Science in American Museum Practice
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Amanda Respess\, PhD candidate\, Anthropology and History \nFriday\,  November 17 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art auditorium \n  \nNarrative and Nationalism: Islamic Science in American Museum Practice \nArtifacts important to the history of science in Islamicate societies occupy peculiar ground in American museums\, often having trajectories in collections and exhibits that obscure\, rather than clarify\, their provenance and significance. Islamicate societies from the eighth century to the early modern period authored scientific advancements in an astonishing number of fields\, producing a multitude of objects now housed in museum collections around the world. These objects are\, however\, often conspicuously absent in American science museums; they are instead scattered among the collections of American art museums\, where their scientific importance is often sidelined. \nThis talk\, centered on a discussion of the Smithsonian\, examines the historical context of the acquisition of these objects and their itineraries through American collections and exhibitions\, which have offered a variety of narrative techniques used to assign them meanings while on display. What emerges from this analysis is a history of nation-building in American museums that tells a very particular story about the nature of science\, and about who and what can be considered its legitimate stakeholders\, or claim it as a cultural inheritance. \n  \nMuseums at Noon_Respess

SUMMARY:Learning by Leading: A New Model for Expanding Museum Impact
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between: \nKathleen Socolofsky – Director\, Arboretum and Public Garden\, University of California\, Davis \nBob Grese – Director\, Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum\, U-M \n  \nDuring this time of immense and sometimes disorienting change\, museums are perfectly positioned to step into new leadership roles for the universities\, their towns\, and their cities.  Building on foundational strengths in education and community engagement\, museums are poised to be the natural hub that can help people band together to identify\, understand\, and begin to solve the real problems that the community and nation face. This brief presentation will share the lessons that the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden has learned over the last ten years as we developed and launched our Learning by Leading program. This student-centered program\, focused on step-by-step leadership training\, staff mentorship\, and project-based learning\, helps undergraduates engage and lead a broad community of partners\, donors\, and volunteers to “make real change happen in the real world.” Because we are a living museum\, our teaching focuses naturally on plants\, biodiversity\, and ecological systems. Learning by Leading\, therefore\, is intentionally designed to empower the next generation of environmental leaders. As we move forward to explore\, test\, and share our Learning by Leading model nationally\, we invite you to bring your own best ideas about how we can improve and expand this program that is dedicated to “inspiring human potential to help people and environments thrive.” \nMatthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum at the University of Michigan also aspires to train environmental leaders through its student internship\, work-study\, and volunteer programs\, including the Campus Farm.  The summer internship program\, known as the “Nature Academy” strives to provide professional training for students while engaging them in caring for the arboretum and botanical gardens properties.  Following Kathleen Socolofsky’s presentation\, she and Matthaei-Nichols Director Bob Grese will compare notes on what each of their respective institutions has learned from these innovative student engagement programs. \n  \nSince 1998\, Kathleen Socolofsky has served as Director of the Arboretum and Public Garden at the University of California\, Davis\, where she has also been Assistant Vice Chancellor in Campus Planning and Environmental Stewardship since 2008. Nationally recognized for her leadership and contributions to UC Davis\, Socolofsky has built university and community partnerships that have led to new gardens and innovative programming\, with a major goal of transitioning her campus into a public garden\, using strategies that have made the Arboretum a success. She has co-developed and currently leads the UC Davis GATEways (Garden\, Arts\, and the Environment) Project\, which works to transform the Arboretum and campus landscapes into physical and programmatic “gateways” to engage the public and connect them with the riches of the University. \nPrior to joining UC Davis\, Socolofsky served as the Director of Education at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix\, Arizona (1985-1998)\, where she was Principal Investigator for a National Science Foundation grant that transformed the garden and its collections into an interactive science museum. Among her committee and board appointments\, she has served on the Board of the American Public Gardens Association\, receiving its 2007 Professional Citation Award. Socolofsky received an Award of Distinction in 2012 from the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the first-ever Leadership Prize from the Excelerate Foundation in 2014. \n  \n  \nRobert Grese has served as Director of Nichols Arboretum since 1999 and of the combined Nichols Arboretum and Matthaei Botanical Gardens since 2004. A long-time advocate of ecologically-based design and of the careful stewardship of cultural and natural landscapes\, Grese is a faculty member in the University of Michigan’s newly renamed School for Environment and Sustainability\, where he is currently the Theodore Roosevelt Chair of Ecosystem Management. Hailed by the Garden Club of America as an “extraordinary leader\, designer\, researcher\, teacher and guide\, a true Renaissance man in his field\,” his focus has been on restoring urban wilds\, specifically prairie and oak savanna ecosystems\, integrating and connecting people to nature and fostering volunteer stewardship. \nA much-published author and speaker\, Grese has documented and become a leading authority on the work of early landscape designers Jens Jensen and O.C. Simonds\, who pioneered the “prairie style” of landscape architecture and advocated the use of native plants. He also is considered a leader in documenting midwestern landscapes and has helped develop national landmark nominations for both the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House and the Henry Ford estate\, Fair Lane. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Bicentennial \n  \nSocolofsky and Grese Announcement
