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:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From Me and Thee to We: Developing Connections Across Difference

SUMMARY:Other:Metal-Catalyzed Alkene Functionalization: An Approach Towards Stereospecific Cross-Coupling
DESCRIPTION:A strategy for stereospecific cross-coupling of chiral Csp3-organometallic complexes will be described.  The method relies on the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of stereodefined Csp3-Cu-complexes that are catalytically generated in situ from simple alkenes.  This reaction\, in a single operation\, converts readily available alkenes to products that contain two new bonds and two new stereocenters.  The mechanism of these processes is addressed with experimental and computational techniques.\nKevin Brown\, Indiana University\n Metal-Catalyzed Alkene Functionalization: An Approach Towards Stereospecific Cross-Coupling

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Letter To Anita
DESCRIPTION:Letter to Anita is a riveting portrait of the effects of anti-gay discrimination on families and how one woman\, Dr. Sanlo\, found her voice and capacity to forgive as a result. This film gives historic context for the discrimination that today’s LGBT older adults have faced in their lifetimes and\, in many cases\, continue to face.\n\nFor ticket information visit www.med.umich.edu/geriatrics/BHS\n\nThis event is an Annual Fundraiser Benefiting:\nAnn Arbor Meals on Wheels\nHousing Bureau for Seniors\nOsher Lifelong Learning Institute\nSilver Club Memory Programs\nTurner Senior Wellness Program

SUMMARY:Performance:Nick Moss
DESCRIPTION:With face-melting guitar solos that rise above the crowded field of pretenders\, and a versatile band that brilliantly delivers unparalleled improvisational jams to packed houses night after night\, city after city\, Nick Moss and his band have been featured performers at blues festivals across the globe. But they're at home in Chicago\, where Nick and his band get the ultimate stamp of approval from Hall of Famer and blues icon Buddy Guy. Nick has also been recognized by the International Songwriting Competition for his ability to add amazing new songs to the venerable blues canon. Says blues master Jimmy Thackery: \"Nick is at it again\, pushing the evolution of his music\, stylistically as well as sonically.\" His recording career has brought him numerous accolades and his albums have been staples at blues radio nationwide\, but he crosses boundaries now\, and his songs have scored at rock and jam band stations as well.
