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?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.
