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: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:Health\, History\, Demography and Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Inequality in U.S. housing prices and rents both declined in the mid-20th century\, even as home-ownership rates rose. Subsequently\, housing-price inequality has risen to pre-War levels\, while rent inequality has risen less. Combining both measures\, we see inequality in housing consumption equivalents mirroring patterns in income across both space and time\, according to an income elasticity of housing demand just below one. These patterns occur mainly within cities\, and are not explained by observed changes in dwelling characteristics or locations. Instead\, recent increases in housing inequality are driven most by changes in the relative value of locations\, seen especially through land.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ah humanity!
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yuming He\, Associate Professor of Chinese\, East Asian Languages and Cultures\, University of California\, Davis\n\nThe famous Yuan dynasty play \"The Orphan of Zhao\" attained the status of a monument in the history of Chinese theater\, as well as in the history of Sino-European cultural interactions. This talk discusses a relatively underexamined chapter in the life of the Orphan play—the adaptations of its basic plot to southern operatic forms during the Ming dynasty. These little-known dramatic texts reveal a great deal about the interplay and synergies among dramatic performance\, urban spectacle\, visual representation\, and print culture during the mid- to late Ming.\n\nYuming He received her BA and MA from Peking University and PhD from UC Berkeley. She taught at Reed College and the University of Chicago before joining the faculty at UC Davis. Her recent work is focused on the history of the book\, theater\, and epistemological processes in late-imperial China. Her book \"Home and the World: Editing the 'Glorious Ming' in \"Woodblock-printed Books of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries\" won the 2015 Joseph Levenson Book Prize.
