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:Critical Internet Cultures: From Selfie Cult to Mask Design
DESCRIPTION:In this monopoly phase of platform capitalism\, selfies and Anonymous are two sides of the same coin. Both emerge from the same root in Western enlightenment that emphasizes individualism and liberation of the Self. Narcissistic self-promotion as well as politically motivated protection of privacy operate under the neo-liberal umbrella of individual empowerment. This raises the strategic question of whether alternative network architectures arise out of a critical reading of such consumer cultures. What’s the state of the art in critical internet cultures in this post-Snowden era? What does it mean when the tactics of mainstreaming subcultural practices are running empty in the long run and the realtime meme politics are incapable of solidifying in alternative protocols and infrastructures?\n\nLunch will be provided.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nGeert Lovink is a media theorist\, internet critic and author of Dark Fiber (2002)\, Zero Comments (2007)\, Networks Without a Cause (2012) and Social Media Abyss (2016). Since 2004 he has been a researcher in the School for Communication and Media Design at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) where he is the director of the Institute of Network Cultures. His centre recently organized conferences\, publications and research networks such as Video Vortex (the politics and aesthetics of online video)\, Unlike Us (alternatives in social media)\, Critical Point of View (Wikipedia)\, Society of the Query (the culture of search)\, MoneyLab (bitcoins\, crowdfunding & internet revenue models) and a project on the future of art criticism. From 2004-2012 he was also associate professor of Mediastudies (MA new media program)\, University of Amsterdam. Since 2009 he has been a professor at the European Graduate School (Saas-Fee) where he supervises PhD students.\n\nAbout the series:\n\nThis series is co-sponsored by the School of Information and the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts. It is made possible with support from the John D. Evans Foundation. This lecture is a co-presentation of Michigan Interactive and Social Computing (MISC).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrea Bachner\, Associate Professor\, Department of Comparative Literature\, Cornell University\n\nThis talk will focus on contestations of the stereotype of Chinese cruelty in recent Chinese culture\, especially in Mo Yan’s 2001 novel \"The Sandalwood Execution\" and the 2002 video installation \"Ling chi: Echoes of a Historical Photograph\" by Taiwanese artist Chen Chieh-jen. In dialogue with prejudiced representations of China in the West\, such as the circulation of photographs of Chinese executions after the Boxer Rebellion or Georges Bataille’s \"Tears of Eros\" of 1961\, as well as Chinese reflections on cruelty and spectatorship\, Mo Yan and Chen foreground different media to rethink the link between interculturality and violence.  \n\nAndrea Bachner is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Cornell University. Her research explores comparative intersections between Sinophone\, Latin American\, and European cultural productions in dialogue with theories of interculturality\, sexuality\, and mediality. Her first book\, \"Beyond Sinology: Chinese Writing and the Scripts of Cultures\" (Columbia University Press\, 2014)\, analyzes how the Chinese script has been imagined in recent decades in literature and film\, visual and performance art\, design and architecture\, both within Chinese cultural contexts and in different parts of the “West.” She is the co-editor (with Carlos Rojas) of the \"Oxford Handbook of Modern Chinese Literatures\" (forthcoming 2016) and has published articles in \"Comparative Literature\,\" \"Comparative Literature Studies\,\" \"Concentric\, German Quarterly\,\" \"Modern Chinese Literature and Culture\,\" \"Taller de Letras\" as well as in several edited volumes. She has just completed a genealogy of the concept of inscription that probes the media imaginaries of poststructuralist theory (\"Inscriptive Passions\, Poststructuralist Prehistories\") and is currently working on a reflection on the limits of comparison through an exploration of the rich history of cultural contact\, exchange\, and affinity between Latin American and Chinese cultures from the late 19th century to today (\"Comparison at the Margins: Latin America and the Sinophone World\").
