The Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) is offering a lunchtime seminar for those interested in exploring the pursuit of happiness. Although elusive for many these days, happiness continues to be a very sought-after experience. Our struggles to attain it lead many down treacherous paths, only to realize, late in the game, that we are lost and in need of a new compass. This seminar will provide opportunity for an open discussion about happiness. It will also provide one model “compass” that can be used to help those seeking this experience. A University of Miami FSAP employee assistance professional will facilitate the seminar.

Coral Gables campus: Tuesday, January 11 from 12 to 1 p.m. at Gables One Tower, Room 1100J; and Friday, January 14 from 12 to 1 p.m. at the University Center, Flamingo Ballroom A.

Rosenstiel School campus: Wednesday, January 12 from 12 to 1 p.m., Dean’s Conference Room, SLAB 107.

Miller School of Medicine campus: Thursday, January 13 from 12 to 1 p.m. at Dominion Parking Garage, Room 155.

To register visit ULearn. For help with ULearn, call the Professional Development and Training Office at 305-284-5110. To receive e-mail announcements of upcoming seminars, call the FSAP at 305-284-6604.

The Department of Art and Art History in UM’s College of Arts and Sciences will present a solo exhibition by Ralph Provisero. Trinacria will be on view at UM’s Wynwood Project Space, 2200-A NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, from January 8-22, 2011. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 8, 2011 from 6 to 10 p.m.

The exhibition features three large-scale works with drawings and models. Using the patches in damaged welding curtains from the school as drawings, Provisero references time and memory, reality and the past. Distilled from these concepts are the models and large-scale works in the exhibit. They represent the formal counterpart, the spatial experience, and the present. Together these nine works unite as an installation of concept and form.

Provisero’s works have been exhibited both nationally and internationally at such venues as the Martin Z. Margulies Collection, the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Ateneo de Yucatan, the Bass Museum, and Chicago’s Navy Pier. Part of the Lowe Art Museum’s permanent collection, Provisero’s large-scale work “Pietra Veloce” resides on the UM campus.

Wynwood Project Space is open from 6 to 10 p.m. every second Saturday of the month and by appointment. Admission is free.

For more information on the artist, visit www.provisero.com. A full schedule of exhibitions can be viewed at www.as.miami.edu/art. For more information about the exhibition or Wynwood Project Space, call 305-284-2543 or e-mail [email protected].
