SUMMARY:UA Museum of Art  Exhibition - \"The Machine Stops (or Inkjet My Foot!)\" 
DESCRIPTION:E.M. Forster's 1909 short story\, \"The Machine Stops\,\" describes a humanity threatened by its complete dependence upon the technology it created. Forgetting that it was the original creator of the \"Machine\,\" humankind grows to deify it\, to worship it\, and ultimately\, to follow it to its own demise. \"The Machine Stops (or Inkjet My Foot!)\" is a limited edition print portfolio inspired by Forster's short story. Using his prescient masterpiece as a point of reference\, the portfolio explores relationships between humanity and the technological world that is increasingly encompassing it. The intent is to present a collection of fine art prints contemplating the implications of technological progress through representational\, abstract and non-representational imagery. It showcases traditional hand lithography as a central medium while incorporating other such processes that accommodate the theme. Andrew Polk\, Organizer Kathryn Polk\, Co-organizer

SUMMARY:\"Footsteps of Water\" 19th Annual CMES Photography Exibit
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Middle Eastern Studies is hosting its 19th annual photography exhibit\, \"Footsteps of Water\,\" featuring images that signify the importance of water in the Middle East. As a natural resource\, it is scarce\; in culture and rituals\, it is fundamental\; and in politics\, it can be divisive. Water is also a source of beauty and\, in fountains and by the seaside\, of calming sounds. Photos reflect the many natural\, cultural\, and historical dimensions of the footsteps of water in the Middle East. The exhibit runs for the entire 2009-2010 academic year and is open to the public.

SUMMARY:Cuneiform Exhibit and Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Special Collections at the University Libraries announces its newest exhibit\, \"Writings Out of Time\: The University of Arizona's Cuneiform Collection\,\" which examines the origins of early writing and literacy. Curated by Beth Alpert Nakhai\, professor of Judaic studies at the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies\, \"Writings Out of Time\" is a showcase of the Arizona State Museum's extraordinary archaeological holdings in Near Eastern antiquities.The exhibit and a fall lecture series will illuminate some of the world's first methods of writing. The cuneiform tablets on display - primarily records of business transactions - are from half a dozen sites in southern Iraq. The tablets date from 2100-1800 B.C. and are unquestionably the oldest archive of literary materials in the state of Arizona. Other objects in \"Writings Out of Time\" include engraved cylinder and stamp seals from Iraq and Egypt\, a piece of papyrus with demotic writing\, and Imperial Roman-era Egyptian lamps signed by their makers. One piece\, a unique stone slab with a bas-relief carving\, comes from the palace of the great Assyrian king Ashurbanipal (668-627 B.C.) in Nineveh\, northern Iraq.A special series of lectures focused on the theme \"The Roots of Literacy in the Ancient Near East\" will be held throughout the fall. Lecturers will include faculty from the UA and scholars from around the country. A schedule is available online.

SUMMARY:\"Sentinels\" Exhibit\, by Lucinda Bliss
DESCRIPTION:\"Sentinels\" consists of a recent series of mixed media drawings in which Lucinda Bliss employs a playful visual language to speak to grave ecological\, and other\, concerns. Menageries of bandaged deer\, rabbits\, ostriches and birds balance in odd clusters in ephemeral habitats. Classifications and alliances are confused in the absence of definable place and natural order. The exploration continues in the altered book series\, \"Atlas of American Wars\, Books I-IV\,\" in which the visual language of playing cards is utilized.In this work Bliss is reconsidering \"monumental\,\" exploring whether it might be applied to delicate\, representational work\, and asking how a playful\, even beautiful\, visual language can speak to urgent social issues.

SUMMARY:UA Museum of Art Exhibiton - Brian Stauffer's \"Hard Eyes\: Images of Empathy\"
DESCRIPTION:The University of Art's Museum of Art and Archive of Visual Arts present Brian Stauffer's \"Hard Eyes\: Images in Empathy.\"Stauffer's illustrations have appeared in The New York Times\, TIME\, The New Yorker\, The Nation\, The Village Voice\, Rolling Stone\, Esquire\, GQ and more than 300 other publications worldwide. A UA graduate\, Stauffer begins with hand drawn images and builds mixed media collages using traditional and digital processes\, painted elements and scanned found objects and surfaces. Stauffer was born and raised in Arizona and graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree from the UA School of Art in 1989 with an emphasis in design. His body of work is a fine example of the philosophy of the program\, now called visual communication\, which approaches design and illustration as means of critical inquiry\, documentation\, interpretation\, expression and communication\, as well as powerful vehicles for social change.  In 2005\, The American Society of Magazine Editors named Brian's \"Worry\" cover for The Nation magazine \"One of the Top 40 Magazine Covers from the Past 40 Years.\" His images are in the permanent collections of the Museum of American Illustration in New York City\, The American Institute of Graphics Artists\, The Newseum of Washington\, D.C.\, and The Art Directors Club of New York.The museum is open Tuesday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.\, Saturday and Sunday\, noon to 4 p.m. It is closed Mondays.   UAMA programs are generously supported by UAMA Partner benefactors I.

SUMMARY:\"Departure\" Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Gross Gallery is pleased to announce the U.S. premiere of \"Departure\,\" a three-channel video installation by the artist duo Lin + Lam. Shot from the exploratory perspective of a moving car\, bicycle and trains\, the video travels through three postcolonial Asian cities\: Taipei\, Shanghai and Hanoi. The transformation of a road\, a bridge and railways parallels the cycle of construction and destruction that distinguish these sties of occupation.  The impact of modernization and foreign intervention on these urban environments is viewed through different modes of transporation.Lin + Lam's work takes shape in sculptural forms\, full-scale installations\, 16 mm film\, photography\, writing and performance. Since 2001\, they have developed projects that raise questions about nationalism and nationaly identity\, the contingency of memory and the haunting of daily life by the spectre of war\, militarism and socio-political inequities.  Inspired by a particular site\, historical incident or political issue\, their work emerges from the interrelation between current events and residues of the past.

SUMMARY:\"Eclectic Arizona\" Photography Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Campus Christian Center Art Gallery at the University of Arizona is proud to announce its current exhibit \"Eclectic Arizona\,\" featuring photographs by Frances Pearson.Pearson has been photographing Arizona landscapes and events with a digital camera for five years. She got interested in photography in 1989 by enrolling in non-credit courses at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington\, D.C. She had her own traditional wet darkroom and\, before moving to Tucson\, worked exclusively in black and white. Attracted to patterns and their repetitions\, she believes that light is the transforming element in photography. It takes skill and serendipity to capture this transformation. Rodeos\, butterflies at Tucson Botanical Gardens and road trip scenes are some of the subjects on display. The Gallery is located at 715 N. Park Ave. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to 4\:30 p.m. This free exhibit runs from Oct. 19 through Dec. 11.

SUMMARY:\"Here - Standing Still\" Exhibit 
DESCRIPTION:\"Here - Standing Still\,\" an installation by Chika Matsuda\, explores the spatial tensions between people and their surrounding environments. The artist invites her audience to stand on a square plane of grass\, isolated by the muted floor\, and reflect in the moment. She wishes to demonstrate how \"the body becomes the path between the earth and the sky\, and elongates them infinitely.\" By allowing the viewer to confront nothing but himself or herself\, the viewer is confronted by an experiential tension and relation to nature.
