Attributed to Roman satirical poet Juvenal (circa A.D. 100), the phrase “bread and circuses” is used to describe a political class distracting the populace from real issues of the day – a means to set the proletariats against one another while the ruling elite solidify power and money.

Cinema on Trial: The Law as Portrayed in MoviesHugh Weinberg

We will then put these films "on trial," through discussion and debate, to determine how realistic they are and to assess their artistic merits.

PARTNERSHIPS

Over the course of four weeks, you will have the opportunity to sit and chat with different curators from four of University Circle’s most distinguished institutions. This is your opportunity to discover what curators do, why they do it, how they got their start and how their research and discoveries impact the museums, your lives and—in many cases—the world.

Note: Session may include some walking and standing for extended periods of time. Fee includes admission to the museum for the day. Check the website for complete museum schedule.

Wed., Feb. 14 and 28 #31740

Graphic Discontent: German Expressionism on Paper Emily Peters

CMA’s Curator of Prints and Drawings, Emily Peters, will lead the group through her exhibition “Graphic Discontent: German Expressionism on Paper” in the museum’s Print and Drawings galleries. Peters will discuss the specific ways in which the graphic arts—including woodcuts, lithographs, etchings and drawings—were central to German Expressionist artists in their quest for art that was direct, frank and immediate.

Feb. 28 Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Cleveland 11400 Euclid Ave. / Cleveland, Ohio 44106

Big Data and Invitationals Andria Hickey

“Simon Denny: Unfinished Oceans” presents new works including paintings, board game sculptures and objects made in relation to a seminar involving students from Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management and the Cleveland Institute of Art. This new work emerges from Denny’s research into the role that Big Data is playing in radically altering our political and corporate structures to produce new worldviews.

“The Invitational: Tauba Auerbach and Éliane Radigue” introduces a new exhibition format in which an artist collaborates with an artist who has influenced his or her work over time. Tauba Auerbach makes paintings, sculptures and typography inspired by systems of logic—mathematical, linguistic and spatial. Éliane Radigue is one of the leading figures in the history of experimental music and sound art. Auerbach is creating an architecturally responsive exhibition that engages, even contains, Radigue’s unique sound works.

Apr. 11 Cleveland History Center Western Reserve Historical Society 10825 East Blvd. / Cleveland, Ohio 44106

Object Lessons: Real Stuff and What to Exhibit John J. Grabowski

The term “material culture” denotes objects that existed in the past and, from our contemporary perspective, can be used to explore the values, ideas and customs of a past era. Collecting, collections and the power of the artifact will be central to this discussion, in addition to the controversy over how exhibits show that “truth” can have serious consequences for any historical enterprise. How does one present the past in a manner that respects the sometimes conflicting agendas of scholars, funding agencies, donors and the public conception of what “really happened”?

Explore these issues while engaging with the newest exhibition experience, “Cleveland Starts Here,” presented by the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation—a permanent core exhibit and digital portal that explores the rich and diverse history of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.

Apr. 25 Cleveland Museum of Natural History 1 Wade Oval Drive / Cleveland, Ohio 44106

Object Lessons: Reconstructing Ancient Worlds Denise Su, Ph.D.

How do we know what past environments were like? What do we need to figure it out? Dr. Su is a paleoecologist who specializes in reconstructing the environments of our ancient ancestors. She will talk about how she collects paleoecological data and how she uses data to reconstruct the environments in which our fossil relatives lived.

The First Amendment: Free SpeechThe First Amendment issue of free speech could not be more important. Being able to speak out for a candidate or cause or to speak against that same issue or candidate is the bedrock of American democracy. We will look at why the founding fathers thought this was important enough to make it part of the First Amendment and will examine landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases that define our freedom of speech. Our history has led us to the present conflict between this freedom and our respect for our country and our flag. Can there be both?
