Virginia Tech Humanities Symposium Public Lecture
Presents visiting artists Renata Stih + Frieder Schnock “Spectral Traces: The Dark Spaces of Berlin” Tuesday, March 16, 5-7 p.m., Hillcrest Dining Hall, Virginia Tech Campus.
Renata Stih + Frieder Schnock, Berlin conceptual artists discuss their artistic work and the politics of memory in past and present. The interwoven layers of past and present have turned Berlin into a vast case study on how to deal with memory and history in a democratic society.
Projects discussed include: Places of Remembrance, Bus Stop, Flick in Berlin, followed by Q & A.
Artist Statement: “Our art is principally devoted to the ways in which the introduction of new media have brought about new modes of seeing and experiencing one’s surroundings and to the possibilities of exerting psychological influence through the intrusion of art into the sphere of everyday life. The work has been shaped by studies about how memory functions in the social sphere and how it is reflected symbolically in the space of the city.”

Beef Webinars
The recording of the last Beef Webinar focused on calving management and neonatal calf care is now posted at http://connect.extension.iastate.edu/p83751573/ . The link will also be posted on the VTBEEF webpage. Dr. Jeff Ondrak, University of Nebraska did an excellent job of covering these timely topics.
The next webinar is scheduled for March 18th (6:30pm) with Dr. Bill Beal discussing timely reproduction tips as we approach the spring breeding season. With the nutritional and environmental hurdles cows have endured this winter, the ensuing breeding season could be a challenge.
