SUMMARY:Experience Rochester: The US Labor Market and the COVID-19 Crisis: Explanations and Predictions
DESCRIPTION:During this Experience Rochester webinar\, Professor Lisa Kahn will share explanations and predictions for the country’s economic recovery. Her research suggests that the economic collapse was not caused solely by the stay-at-home orders and would not be undone simply by lifting them. It hit all US states\, regardless of stay-at-home policies and it spanned nearly all industries and occupations. Listen and ask questions as Professor Kahn reviews US labor market trends during the COVID crisis and discusses the broad-based nature of the economic collapse in March and April. She will also delve into how employment rebounded in May and June—gaining half the ground lost in early spring—but has since slowed.

SUMMARY:Difficult Conversations as a Catalyst for Change: Dr. Eric Michael Dyson
DESCRIPTION:October 15 @ 6:00 pm – 7:15 pm\nIn Caricature: Racial Profiling and Its Impact on Black America \nDr. Michael Eric Dyson is an award-winning author\, a Georgetown University professor\, a prominent public intellectual\, and a noted political analyst.

SUMMARY:Perspectives on Democracy: Ancient Historians and Political Thought
DESCRIPTION:In this election season\, explore the ideals\, successes\, and shortcomings of a democratic form of government from the interdisciplinary perspectives of the humanities. What have been the social and cultural consequences of democracy? How have democratic visions intersected with issues of race\, gender\, and power? How do democracies accommodate dissent and difference? Is the writer or artist a representative of ordinary people or a person apart from the masses? While the focus will be on the United States\, this program will consider such questions across time and place in a lively discussion format led by distinguished University of Rochester faculty members.

SUMMARY:Andy Warhol Portfolios: A Life in Pop Works from the Bank of America Collection
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker\, photographer\, painter\, commercial illustrator\, music producer\, writer and even fashion model—Andy Warhol was a true radical in his approach to art. The breadth and significance of his influence has made him one of the most important artists of the 20th century. He challenged traditional boundaries of art practice\, blurring the lines between art\, business\, and life. He turned everyday life into art and art into a way to live the everyday\, collecting\, documenting\, reproducing\, experimenting\, and collaborating with the people\, places\, and things around him. Warhol’s enthusiasm for life was rivaled only by his love for the methods of capturing it. He loved the framing device—the camera\, the silkscreen\, the empty box\, the tape recorder\, the shopping bag\, the telephone—as much as the content it framed. Perhaps Warhol’s greatest innovation was that he saw no limits to his practice. His pop sensibility embraced an anything-can-be-art approach\, appropriating images\, ideas and even innovation itself. \nThis exhibition features selections from Warhol’s forty-year span of work in the art of photographic silkscreen printmaking. While many of the works were made in the 1970s and 1980s\, their subject matter—iconic people\, trends\, and issues—reflects his decades-long process of mirroring popular American culture. Warhol transforms photographic imagery\, from rather mundane still lifes of fruits to portraits of comic characters and endangered species\, through color\, design\, form\, and multiples. Due to the infinite possibilities of printmaking\, Warhol’s portfolios contain a vast array of techniques\, ranging from collage and drawing to the use of “diamond dust” and color variation. \nWarhol was extremely interested in color\, and his personal library contained many books on the great modern colorists\, including Henri Matisse\, Pierre Bonnard\, and Josef Albers. Warhol mixed colors\, but he also used them straight. In the 1970s and 1980s\, Warhol worked with assistants and printers to create the print portfolios Sunset\, Grapes\, Space Fruit: Still Lifes\, Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century\, Myths\, Endangered Species\, and others. The color choices in these series were very important to the artist. For the Sunset series\, Warhol originally created 632 prints of the Sun\, each with a different combination of colors. In the Myths and Grapes series\, Warhol used a glittery substance called “diamond dust” to draw attention to the surface and to create changes in the colors of the prints. In the Endangered Species series\, he used bright and complementary combinations of colors to draw attention to the animals and their plight. \nThis exhibition includes over 100 objects\, including 10 complete limited-edition print portfolios\, album covers\, magazines\, and works by related artists Robert Mapplethorpe and Keith Haring. \nhttps://mag.rochester.edu/exhibitions/a-life-in-pop/
