“Dear Children, Can you forgive us? And by the way…” by Mierle Laderman Ukeles is a personal and endearing site-specific work, originally created for “Weather Report: Art and Climate Change,” a major art exhibit held at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in the fall of 2007.
The exhibit was held in conjunction with EcoArts, an annual event bringing together art and science to raise awareness of the issue of climate change.
The “Pledge Fence Project” is also on display in the Norlin gallery. The UCB Libraries and Community Relations, EcoArts, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, and the City of Boulder Office of Environmental Affairs partnered to develop a community art installation on the chain link fence in Central Park during EcoArts 07.

Hughes HotSpot - Norlin Library First Floor NW
February 8 - March 21, 2008
The three pieces are twofold in their intent. Individually, they can be taken as mere portraiture, each rendered in a similar yet unique way as an odd homage to a somewhat antiquated scholar (Beckett being the exception for some). But as a whole, I think that the three of these pieces make up a conceptual triptych that collectively examines the notion of words and language as records of societies, communicative tools, and instruments of expression.

“Border Crossings” - original art by Colorado Chicano/Latino artists curated by Dr. George Rivera
In “Crossing Borders/Border Crossings: A Collaborative Exploration of Geographic and Cultural Boundaries through Art, Conversation and Film,” the campus planners and staff of Dialogues on Immigrant Integration have reflected upon the complexities of immigration and physical and metaphorical borders in order to explore borders in both literal and figurative terms and as both a conceptual and physical phenomenon.
We do not expect our art shows, events, and film screenings to provide definitive or even satisfactory answers. We do hope that you will perhaps consider a wider range of questions and remember the promises of our common humanity.

EEK! A MOUSE!: An installation of papier-mâché sculpture by Lisa Michot
You don’t see them because they’re always under your feet, those pesky little creatures. While you’re not looking they're imitating you, wearing your clothes, reading your email, logging into your My Space page. They may even start following you to class or hanging out with your friends.
What to do about it? Well, these mice have a lot of knowledge, so I suggest you tap into this vital resource. So, some late night while you’re studying in the library, and you feel a slight brush of fur against your feet, or hear a little, “Squeak, squeak, squeak,” just know that someone’s come to help you.

Evolution Before Darwin
Sponsored by the Special Collections Department, University Libraries
Charles Darwin is known throughout the world as the co-discoverer of the principle of natural selection, a mechanism for evolutionary descent with modification (can you name the other co-discoverer?). However, Charles Darwin was by no means the first person to espouse evolutionary ideas. For well over a half century prior to the publication of the Origin of Species (1859), naturalists, theologians, horticulturalists, medical practitioners, poets, and philosophers had been advancing evolutionary concepts for the diversification of life through modification of species. Join us at 7 p.m. in the Center for British and Irish Studies (Norlin Library 5th floor) for an evening with Ned Friedman, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Professor Friedman will speak about the amazing early history of the discipline of evolution and the events that led up to one of the most important paradigm shifts in understanding the natural world around us, the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species. Related materials from Special Collections will be available for viewing. Location: Center for British & Irish Studies, 5th floor Norlin Library, room M549, 1720 Pleasant St. Boulder, CO. Time: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Parking: Available for an hourly fee at the Euclid parking terrace or $2.00 in Lot 380. http://ucbparking.colorado.edu/VisitorInfo Contact: For more information call 303-492-6144 or 303-492-3910.
