Featuring our Fellows Date: 2/19/2008; 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Location: Room 2022 202 S. Thayer St. Ann Arbor Host Department: Institute for the Humanities Alison Byrnes, Careers-in-the-Making Fellow “Telic or Cyclic: Visualizing Patterns in History” Detailed Information Alison Byrnes completed her M.F.A. at the School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan in 2007. During the spring/summer 2007 term, she held the Careers-in-the-Making Fellowship at the Institute for the Humanities. She is currently completing her practicum for a Certificate in Museum Studies at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. For her current body of work, Byrnes investigates historical themes that peoples and cultures have in common across time and space, investigating the dueling notions that history is either cyclic or telic. Similar events occur over and over again throughout human history, such as civil war, which suggests that history is cyclic. At the same time, specific individuals and events compose the larger event. Byrnes creates funny paintings about history that present both its repetitive and its linear nature, a starting point that allows her to address complex issues related to perception and memory as they relate to historiography.
