SUMMARY:POX ROMANA: The Plague that Shook the Roman World
DESCRIPTION:Join author Colin Elliott as he combs through the historical record to explain how a mysterious disease ravaged the Roman Empire!\n\n\nJoin Colin Elliott\, author of POX ROMANA: The Plague that Shook the Roman World\, as he combs through the historical record to explain how a mysterious disease ravaged the Roman Empire at the height of its political and economic prosperity. With slides and a series of guiding questions\, Elliott will tell a riveting story in three parts: the “preexisting conditions” that led to a massive outbreak; the experiences of physicians and victims as the plague spread; and the post-pandemic conditions that brought the once-powerful Empire to ruin. \n \nSaturday\, May 11th @ 4:30 pm  \nThe International Museum of Surgical Science \n1524 N Lake Shore Drive\, Chicago IL 60610 \n*Please arrive 10 minutes early \n\n\n\nAbout the book: In the middle of the second century AD\, Rome was in a period of peace\, prosperity\, and stability: the Pax Romana. Then\, apparently out of nowhere\, a sudden sickness struck the Empire and laid waste to cities from Britain to Egypt\, including Rome itself. This fast-spreading disease\, now known as the Antonine plague\, may have been history’s first pandemic. Soon after its arrival\, the Empire began its downward trajectory toward decline and fall. In POX ROMANA\, historian Colin Elliott offers a comprehensive\, wide-ranging account of this pivotal moment in Roman history. Elliott combs through all available evidence to prove that there were “preexisting conditions” that allowed the Antonine plague to flourish: from a sluggish economy to protracted military conflicts in the Middle East to food insecurity and religious persecution\, the pandemic exposed the crumbling foundations of a doomed Empire. POX ROMANA provides a gripping account of how a mysterious disease—the origin of which puzzles historians to this day—was able to bring a major world power to its knees. \n\n\nAbout the author: Colin Elliott is associate professor of history at Indiana University and the author of Economic Theory and the Roman Monetary Economy. \n\n\n\n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Kintsugi for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the artistry of Kintsugi on Mother’s Day! All levels are welcome.\n\n\nJoin us for a special Mother’s Day workshop with Mami Takahashi\, where you’ll learn the Japanese art of kintsugi! \nKintsugi is a traditional Japanese art form in which gold is used to repair broken ceramics. The practice of Kintsugi highlights the break rather than erasing it and emphasizes that the break\, or trauma\, is what makes the ceramics more valuable. \nIn this beginner’s workshop\, participants will learn the basic technique of Kintsugi on a small porcelain plate or a small ceramic plate which the instructor will provide\, to understand the fundamentals of this process. All materials including adhesives in the workshop will be food-safe. We will also use an artificial Urushi (the natural resin/glue collected from the lacquer tree) sap for this beginner’s class\, which is safe to touch without allergy reactions. \n \nHere is a quote about Kintsugi from Linda Muller\, a certified life coach:“Kintsugi is based on the philosophy that breakage and repair are something to celebrate – embracing flaws and imperfections creates a stronger and more beautiful piece of art. Using this as a metaphor for healing ourselves teaches us an important lesson: Sometimes in the process of repairing what feels broken\, we become more unique\, beautiful and resilient. Kintsugi can be a way to reframe personal challenges. Reminding us that we’re not a victim of our circumstances. Showing us that we can come out on the other side stronger.” \n \nAll levels are welcome to enjoy this workshop! \n\n\n\nAbout the Instructor: \nMami Takahashi is a Japanese multidisciplinary artist and a scholar in Chicago. She received her MFA in Contemporary Studio Practice from Portland State University in 2013 and earned a BFA in Japanese Painting from Joshibi University of Art and Design in Japan. \nWith ongoing artistic research\, practice\, and teaching\, Takahashi explores different approaches to actualize Japanese aesthetics to enhance cultural perspectives in many U.S. communities. She is expanding her creativity to incorporate more specific discourses around society\, past and present via a lens of Japanese art. Takahashi also aims to connect Japan and communities in Chicago by teaching traditional and modern art-making techniques. \n \n\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

Faricy Award for creative music\, and the Gerts and Hammond and Farewell Award from the Musicians Club of Women. Other distinctions include the Nief-Norf Festival International Call for Score Winner\, Transient Canvas Composition Fellowship\, and an honorable mention at the DeGaetano Composition Institute.

SUMMARY:Varo String Quartet Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join us to enjoy a string quartet night!Varo String QuartetFriday\, June 14\, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM Join us for an evening that presents a micro-portrait of Polish composer and violinist Grazyna Bacewicz. An active performer throughout most of her life\, Bacewicz was severely injured in a car accident in 1954 that left her unable to play her instrument for a year.  Varo Quartet will juxtapose the last string quartet she wrote before the accident\, Quartet No. 4 (1951)\, representing her quasi-neoclassical middle compositional period\, with the first quartet she wrote after the accident\, Quartet No. 5 (1955)\, representing the beginning of her avant-garde period. In doing so\, we pose the question: how do these different styles present a different interaction of the physical with the acts of both performing and listening to music?  About the performers: Varo String Quartet (Carmen Abelson and Hannah Christiansen\, violins; Lena Vidulich\, viola; and Isidora Nojkovic\, cello) is dedicated to the celebration and expansion of the string quartet genre. Through intentional programming\, VSQ engages new audiences and collaborators with a spirit of curiosity and innovation. The members of VSQ have backgrounds spanning many genres and have performed with groups including Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra\, Thurman Barker & the Cagy Bird Orchestra\, Lyric Opera Orchestra\, Japanese Breakfast\, Ensemble Dal Niente\, Music Theatre International\, and Chicago Sinfonietta. Varo String Quartet takes its name from the Surrealist painter Remedios Varo\, whose vibrant creativity and lifelong pursuit of discovery inspire the Quartet’s inventive programming and spirited performances.

SUMMARY:D. Lammie-Hanson: Indigo Seven: Gilded Agility
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of the newest exhibition by artist D. Lammie-Hanson.\n\n\n\nIndigo Seven: Gilded Agility\nBy D. Lammie-Hanson\nJune 28 – September 22\, 2024\nOpening reception: Friday\, June 28\, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Free\n \nThe exhibition of metalpoint drawings\, particularly the group of works titled “Gilded Agility” from the Indigo Seven Series\, at the International Museum of Surgical Science represents a unique convergence of art and medical science. These intricate works of art\, created by D. Lammie-Hanson\, utilize the rare and meticulous technique of metalpoint to capture the exquisite details of human musculature\, particularly that of dancers. \nThe correlation between these drawings and the mission of the International Museum of Surgical Science lies in the shared focus on the human body’s anatomy and function. The museum\, dedicated to the history and advancement of surgical science\, provides a fitting backdrop for showcasing artwork that meticulously examines and celebrates the human form. \nThrough metalpoint\, an ancient technique known for its precision and permanence\, Lammie-Hanson’s drawings highlight the intricate musculature of dancers\, echoing the detailed anatomical studies that have long been a cornerstone of surgical education and practice. This method allows for an unparalleled level of detail and subtlety\, which is crucial for both artistic expression and scientific understanding. \nThese artworks\, especially the “Gilded Agility” series\, serve not only as visual marvels but also as educational tools\, bridging the gap between artistic interpretation and anatomical accuracy. By presenting these drawings at the museum\, visitors are offered a unique opportunity to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the human body through both an artistic and scientific lens. This exhibition underscores the profound connection between the study of anatomy in medical science and its representation in fine art\, celebrating the shared goal of deepening our understanding of the human form. \n\n\nLight refreshments are included\, and alcohol will be served to guests with proof of age. Alcohol served to guests 21+; ID required. \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:NASA and the Science of Superman
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jerry Myers\, NASA scientist\, explores how the origin and abilities of Superman compare with real-life astronauts!\n\n\nNASA and the Science of Superman \n“Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” These are just a few of Superman’s incredible abilities\, thanks to his origin as a “strange visitor from another planet.” Since his 1938 creation by Clevelanders Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster\, the “man of tomorrow” has been rooted in science fiction. In this presentation\, Dr. Jerry Myers\, NASA scientist\, will explore how the origin and abilities of Superman (and several other superheroes) compare with the real-life skills\, science\, and technology that enable NASA’s astronauts to push the boundaries of aviation and space exploration. \n \nAbout Dr. Jerry Myers \nDr. Jerry Myers has more than twenty years of experience with models and simulations that focus on improving how NASA approaches astronaut health. Located at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland\, Myers currently serves as a project scientist to the NASA Human Research Program’s Crew Health and Performance Probabilistic Risk Analysis project\, which seeks to understand the risks and physiological effects of spaceflight to improve spacecraft and mission design. Myers joined NASA in 2000 after receiving his doctoral degree at the University of Alabama in 1996. He completed research in advanced heat exchange systems modeling at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and in heart disease computational modeling at the University of Toronto. Myers also serves as a founding member and current chair of the NIH/NIBIB-sponsored Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group’s Committee on Credible Practice of Modeling and Simulation in Healthcare. \n \nNASA Glenn Research Center \nLocated near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport\, Glenn’s main campus\, Lewis Field\, has world-class facilities including wind tunnels\, drop towers\, vacuum chambers\, and a research aircraft hangar. \n \nNASA Family Day at the IMSS \nThis event is free with admission and open to the public.

SUMMARY:FULL-TIME  Performance by X. A. Li and estlin usher
DESCRIPTION:Join us to enjoy a video\, sound\, interactive technology\, and physical performance!\n\n\nFULL-TIME performance\nSunday\, August 25\, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM \n“Bataille distinguishes between two types of play\, strong and weak. In a society in which utility has become the dominant principle only weak play is deemed acceptable…Strong play\, by contrast\, cannot be reconciled with the principle of work and production. It puts life itself at risk.” Byung-Chul Han\, The Disappearance of Rituals. \nFULL-TIME is an installation and performance in three acts\, responding to the Hall of Immortals and Hall of Murals at IMSS. It examines the relationship between bodies and labor\, drawing from records of OSHA fatalities and a worker’s compensation taxonomy enumerating the category codes of sixty-two discrete body parts. \nIn a society of production the individual becomes an instrument of capital. Our physical and mental labors often constitute senseless acts\, divorced from immanent human meaning\, in service of an abstract and disembodied logic that presents itself as inevitable. Our bodies erode from these repetitive motions\, become defined by the acts they perform\, the value these acts yield. Even outside the sphere of work we orient our actions\, values\, and leisure activities through a lens of logic and utility. What is sovereignty outside the mandate of value? \nAcross video\, sound\, interactive technology\, and physical performance\, FULL-TIME explores the brittle bio- and psychopolitics governing life and labor today. Deliberately misapplying numerous stochastic algorithms and artificial intelligence models to original footage and bureaucratic datasets\, FULL-TIME charts the collapses underway and the unknown states that might follow. \nFULL-TIME was created as part of Li and Usher’s ongoing audiovisual collaboration Post Consumer Material. \n\n\n\n \nAbout the performers: \nX. A. Li (b. 1991) is an artist and computer scientist based in Chicago.

SUMMARY:Michelle Hartney: Unplanned Parenthood - Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:Unplanned Parenthood is a collaborative\, mixed media installation examining the complicated history of birth control in the United States.\n\n\nUnplanned Parenthood \nBy Michelle Hartney \nSeptember 13 – December 8\, 2024\nOpening reception: Friday\, September 13\, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Free\n \nLight refreshments are included\, and alcohol will be served to guests with proof of age. Alcohol served to guests 21+; ID required. \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator. If you need additional accessibility options or wheelchair seating\, please contact us at info@imss.org. \nParking and Directions can be found here: https://imss.org/plan-your-visit/ \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibit:  \nUnplanned Parenthood is a collaborative mixed media installation about the history of birth control and the role racism played in the fight for reproductive justice in the United States. In 1928\, Margaret Sanger published a book called Motherhood in Bondage\, a selection of the 250\,000 vulnerable and desperate letters the Planned Parenthood founder received in the 1920s asking for advice about birth control and contraception at a time when any information about such reproductive healthcare was deemed “obscene\,” and disseminating it was punishable by law. Some wrote that they would rather die than be pregnant again. Many were living in extreme poverty\, had abusive husbands\, and suffered multiple miscarriages and stillbirths. This installation is centered on the stories of these mothers who longed for reproductive justice. \n\n\n\nAbout the artist:  \nMichelle Hartney is a Chicago based artist and activist. Her work focuses on gender rights\, reproductive healthcare issues\, and cancel culture. Utilizing fiber\, ceramics\, wood\, embroidery\, and social practice\, she has completed projects that address birth control access in America\, obstetric abuse\, postpartum PTSD\, gender affirming care\, and the roles racism and misogyny play in maternal health outcomes in the United States. Her interest in using art to address social issues began during her graduate studies in art therapy at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Hartney often offers cathartic actions for viewers to participate in. She has collaborated with the ACLU\, Improving Birth\, Association of Women’s Health\, Obstetric\, & Neonatal Nurses\, and Birth Monopoly to raise awareness about reproductive health issues. \nHartney has performed guerrilla activations at The Art Institute of Chicago and The Met\, calling on cultural institutions to provide the truth about artists they represent and context about problematic work in their collections. Her work has been published in the New York Times\, CNN\, BBC Radio\, The Guardian\, Ms. Magazine\, Vice\, PBS\, Women’s Health\, Artnet News\, and Hyperallergic. \n\n\n\nThis project is partially supported by a CityArts Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events. \n\n\n\nThe International Museum of Surgical Science acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
