SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:JUST IMAGINE!
DESCRIPTION:This lecture represents an appeal for a certain understanding of the role of the liberal arts in a contemporary American university. That role is crucially tied to the 
function of the imagination\, which must operate freely in the ongoing formation of personal and community identity. He will note particularly in this context two passages\, at least\, from supreme works of the literary imagination: one from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet\,” the other from Toni Morrison’s “Beloved.”\n\nRalph G. Williams\, received his Ph.D. from UM and subsequently taught at Cornell University\, before returning to UM in 1970. In addition to teaching courses in Shakespeare\, the Bible in English\, and Primo Levi\, he has directed the Program on Studies in Religion\, lectured in the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, helped develop the residencies at UM of England’s Royal 
Shakespeare Company\, and directed UM’s program in Florence\, Italy. He has received the Lifetime Golden Apple Award\, the Carnegie Professor of the Year Award for Michigan\, and taken a lead role in a recent movie filmed in Ann Arbor “Answer This.”\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Power of the Liberal Arts.

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: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:Performance:Joe Pug
DESCRIPTION:After a creative crisis and a long layoff\, Joe Pug is back! Joe has collected plenty of the requisite Dylan comparisons over his young career\, but on his new album\, \"Windfall\,\" it’s easier to hear the sway of more contemporary influences like Josh Ritter\, Ryan Adams and M.Ward. The theme of resilience plays a central role throughout \"Windfall.\" The weary protagonist in “Veteran Fighter” wills his way further down the highway despite the gloom that seems certain to overtake him. ”The Measure”\, a song inspired in part by Frederic Buechner’s novel Godric\, marvels at  ”every inch of anguish\, laid out side by side” but ultimately finds that “All we’ve lost is nothing to what we’ve found.” ”I never really write songs with a specific narrative in mind\,” Joe explains. “When you’re sort of pushing through a dark period of your life it’s probably inevitable that some of that is going to find its way onto the page.  But in the same way\, by the time we were in the studio the process had become very effortless and joyful. And hopefully you can hear a lot of that on the record as well.” As the saying goes\, “All’s well that ends well.” Joe Pug didn’t call it quits after all\, and we're glad he didn't!
