SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:THE BIONIC EYE AND NEW TREATMENTS FOR BLINDNESS FROM RETINAL DISEASE
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jayasundera will be talking about the outcomes of the first bionic eye implantations in the U.S.\, as well as new treatments being developed for retinal degenerative diseases.\n\nDr. Jayasundera is an ophthalmologist with dual fellowship training in vitreoretinal surgery\, retinal dystrophies\, electrophysiological testing\, and posterior uveitis.  His research program focuses on inherited retinal degenerations.  His goal is to identify patients at an earlier age to be able to: 1) provide the correct genetic diagnosis\, 2) give an 
accurate prognosis\, 3) help guide the choice of treatment\, such as gene therapy\, and 4) develop outcome measures which will determine 
progression of their disease state in therapeutic trials.  He was the first 
surgeon in the U.S. to implant the “bionic eye” after FDA approval in January 2014.\n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is \"Biomedical Breakthroughs: The Future is Here.\" The next lecture will be March 24\, entitled \"MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT FOR HEART FAILURE\"

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: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:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aimee Lee\, Artist-in-Residence\, Morgan Conservatory (Cleveland\, OH)\n\nJapan's paper soared throughout history as the most well-known and beloved paper produced in East Asia\, and as WWII bomb-laden paper balloons.
