SUMMARY:A screening and talk by British visual artist Simon Starling
DESCRIPTION:When:\nThursday\, November 30\, 2017 7:00–9:00 p.m.\n\n\nWhere:\nLogan Center\, Screening Room 201\n915 East 60th Street\, Chicago\, IL\n\n\nDescription:\nA screening and talk by British visual artist Simon Starling as part of the University–wide CP–1 commemoration. Since emerging from the Glasgow art scene in the early 1990s\, Simon Starling has established himself as one of the leading artists of his generation\, working in a wide variety of media (film\, installation\, photography) to interrogate the histories of art and design\, scientific discoveries\, and global economic and ecological issues\, among other subjects. The recipient of the 2005 Turner Prize\, Starling has had major exhibitions in Kunsthallen and museums throughout the world\, and his work can be found in the collections of some of the world’s leading art institutions. Starling will screen two of his recent films\, Project for a Masquerade (Hiroshima) (2010)\, a complex multi-media installation\, in part on a quintessential Chicago story concerning the early days of nuclear energy development and the monument designed by Henry Moore commemorating its discovery\, and another film related to the Masquerade titled\, At Twilight. Joshua Abrams and his group\, Natural Information Society\, will perform live to the Hawk Dance\, which is part of At Twilight. For Project for a Masquerade (Hiroshima)\, Starling has connected the idea of the mask to Japanese Noh theater and worked with a Noh mask-maker\, Yasuo Miichi\, in Osaka to create a set of masks that fuse traditional Noh masks with characters both historical and fictional who were contemporary to Moore. \nPresented by the Arts\, Science & Culture Initiative\, the Gray Center for Arts & Inquiry\, the Department of Visual Arts\, and the Film Studies Center. The “Arts and the Nuclear Age” lecture series is partially supported by the Franke Institute for the Humanities. \nMore information\n\n\n\nCost:\nFree\n\n\nContact:\nUChicago Arts\n773-702-2787\n \n\n\nInteract:\nTweet about this event before\, during\, and after this event by using hashtags: #uchicago Nuclear75\n\n\nTag:\nFeatured – Arts\, Screenings\, Lectures\, Featured – Homepage\, Featured – Homepage/Students\, Arts\, Research\, CP1\, Featured Research\n\n\nNotes:\nPersons with disabilities who need an accommodation in order to participate in this event should contact the event sponsor for assistance.

SUMMARY:Poincaré's Legacy: Predictions on Time Scales Ranging from Milliseconds to Billions of Years
DESCRIPTION:Greg Laughlin\, Professor of Astronomy\, Yale University will discuss and connect two long-standing\, and at first glance\, entirely unrelated\, problems of prediction: (1) the long-term dynamical stability of the Solar System\, and (2) price movements and volatility in financial markets. These phenomena are radically different\, but share a key common basis in the random walk\, and the study of both can be traced directly back to the work of Henri Poincaré.

But the universe is even scarier than you imagine. Don’t miss this fun & fear-inducing Adler After Dark! \nExplore the dark side of the Universe with special programs and talks from our friends at Fermilab\, including virtual reality demos and activities on particle physics\, dark matter\, and more. If that’s too dark for you\, dance to the beats of Thriller and other Halloween classics on the dance floor\, try some special brews from one of our partner breweries\, and do some hands-on spooky science experiments! \nAnd don’t miss a one-night-only showing of The Man from the 9 Dimensions\, an award-winning fulldome movie from Japan that takes viewers on a mysterious journey to discover “The Theory of Everything”. \nSo join the Midnight Society and experience real creepy crawlies this fall\, only at Adler After Dark! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT OTHERS SAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It’s all great fun. While I did not purchase the ticket due to the theme\, I thought it was very nicely planned and very entertaining. I love viewing the planets and the using the telescopes and attending the shows and lectures. It’s the best $20 you can spend in the city.” \n“As a parent\, I often do not have the time during the day to visit one of my favorite museums without my children. Adler After Dark gave me an opportunity to spend an evening with my husband\, explore subjects we love\, and have an interactive experience (like our children enjoy at the museum). I also love the exclusive feel of the event. It is not too crowded\, and the attendants have a chance to talk to the guests in small groups. It’s a great alternative/addition to the night life of Chicago.” \n“It was so much fun. I went…not knowing what to expect and it was a total blast. We had a drink\, danced\, met some new people\, got glam-rock face paint\, checked out the star show and the exhibits. [It was] so much more than I thought the experience was going to be and I’m definitely interested in attending future events. I have been telling all my friends and showing them photos. Great job\, it was a truly memorable experience.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvance Purchase\n$20 General Admission/$15 Adler members \nAt the Door (Based on Availability)\n$25 General Admission/$20 Adler members \nDoane Tours\n$8 General Admission/$8 Adler members \n\nDoane Observatory tour tickets are available in limited quantity and sell out quickly.
