SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:In Focus: Jeanne Gang
DESCRIPTION:Widely acclaimed for her integrative approach to materials\, technology\, and ecological context\, Chicago-based architect Jeanne Gang was selected as a MacArthur Fellow in 2011. Shortly thereafter Gang proposed an ambitious restoration of the Chicago riverfront through a series of small but transformational projects. The WMS Boathouse\, designed by Gang and located north of downtown\, is one such project\, encompassing a field house with state-of-the art training facilities\, a boat storage building\, and a floating dock at the river’s edge. Completed in 2013\, the 22\,000-square-foot boathouse is the city’s premier rowing center\, serving a range of public rowing clubs\, many of whose amateur athletes come from the city’s underserved communities.\n\nThis installation showcases dynamic exterior and interior sketches of the complex—recently acquired by UMMA—depicting the distinctive rhythmic contours of the roof\, derived from studies of rowers in motion\, and the open\, angular\, and light-filled spaces within.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Other:Nitrene and Carbene Chemistry at Middle and Late First-Row Metals in Bis(alkoxide) Ligand Environments
DESCRIPTION:Our research focuses on the design of reactive metal centers for N-N\, C-N\, and C-C bond formation. Toward this goal\, we developed a series of new middle and late first-row transition metal complexes in bis(alkoxide) ligand environment and are currently exploring their reactivity in nitrene and carbene transfer. We have recently reported synthesis of “quasi-two-coordinate” complexes M(OR)2(THF)2 (OR = OC(tBu)2Ph\, M = Mn\, Fe\, Co) that proceeds via cluster intermediates featuring rare seesaw geometry. The iron(II) complex Fe(OR)2(THF)2 undergoes facile reaction with aliphatic and aromatic azides. The reaction with aliphatic azides results in the reductive coupling of azides to form the iron(III) hexazene complex (RO)2Fe(μ-κ2:κ2-RN6R)Fe(OR)2. In contrast\, the reaction of Fe(OR)2(THF)2 with aromatic azides (ArN3) leads to the formation of azoarenes ArNNAr\, with concomitant liberation of dinitrogen. The reaction is catalytic for bulky azides\, and is postulated to proceed via metal-nitrene intermediate [Fe(OR)2(NAr)]. Mechanistic\, spectroscopic\, structural\, and theoretical studies will be presented. For chromium\, stable Cr(OR)2(NAr) complexes are obtained\, which display catalytic reactivity in nitrene transfer to isocyanides. We will also describe our most recent results concerning synthesis\, characterization\, and reactivity of the formally Co(IV)-carbene complex. \nStanislav  Groysman\, Wayne State University\n Nitrene and Carbene Chemistry at Middle and Late First-Row Metals in Bis(alkoxide) Ligand Environments

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The role of microbes in maintaining a habitable planet\, personal health
DESCRIPTION:Two free evening seminars on Monday\, May 16\, and Tuesday\, May 17. In Monday night's session\, award-winning science writer Ed Yong and University of Chicago scientist Jack Gilbert will discuss how microbes affect the lives of humans\, animals and plants\, and how we might manipulate them to improve human and environmental health.\n\nIn Tuesday night's session\, \"Fecal transplants: scientific and ethical dimensions\,\" Vincent Young of the U-M Medical School and Pilar Ossorio of the University of Wisconsin Law School will summarize the current understanding of fecal microbiota transplantation\, including the ethical and legal implications for the potential widespread use of fecal transplants.
