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: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:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Urban Hunters: Hustling and Gathering in Postsocialist Ulaanbaatar
DESCRIPTION:A major preoccupation of post-socialist anthropology has been to criticize modernist assumptions about linear progress and economic development by replacing these with more nuanced ethnographic accounts of social life in diverse post-socialist settings. At the heart of this approach lies a premise about the continuity of social\, cultural political and cultural forms. Indeed\, the standard anthropological argument goes\, social\, political and cultural forms never appear ex nihilo\, for while traditions\, institutions and modes of livelihood change by merging with others and assume new shapes\, there are never any clean ruptures with the past\, which is always somehow “carried on” into the present. Heeding Joel Robbins’ call to take peoples’ experiences of discontinuity seriously\, the aim of this paper is to analyze post-socialist transition as a distinct existential predicament imbued with unique temporal dynamics. More precisely\, by chronicling the hopes and the hardships of Ulaanbaatar’s so-called “lost generation” of men and women who turned 30 around the turn of the millennium\, the paper explores what happens when post-socialist transition becomes permanent and acquires a logic of its own\, across different arenas of economic and religious life. As Mongolia became stuck in what was supposed to have been a temporary economic crisis\, “transition” became a way of life. Far from resisting change\, people internalized and embodied permanent rupture to such an extent that it almost became second nature to them.\n\nMorten Axel Pedersen is professor of social anthropology at the University of Copenhagen. Since 1995\, he has conducted four years of fieldwork in Mongolia\, the Russian Far East and in Western China on topics as diverse as shamanism\, political cosmology\, post-socialism\, infrastructure\, debt and hope. Most recently\, he has conducted research in Denmark on interdisciplinary collaboration and on Protestantism. He is the author of The Ontological Turn: An Anthropological Exposition (Cambridge\, 2016\, with M. Holbraad)\, and Not Quite Shamans: Spirit Worlds and Political Lives in Northern Mongolia (Cornell\, 2011). His co-edited works include Times of Security: Ethnographies of Fear\, Protest and the Future (Routledge\, 2013). He is currently completing two co-authored monographs: a comparative ethnography of Chinese resource-extraction projects in Mongolia and Mozambique\, and a monograph on Ulaanbaatar’s dispossessed urban youth.\n\nPart of the CREES-sponsored series\, Buying and Selling\, States and Markets\, which focuses on various aspects of economies in Russia\, Eastern Europe\, and Eurasia. How did socialist regimes theorize money\, consumption\, wages\, and pricing? How did markets during state socialism actually work\, and what is their legacy in contemporary times? What are the social roles of commodities and economic transactions today?
