SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Hidden Worlds: The Universe of Pollen Revealed in Large-scale Ceramic Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the beautiful forms that pollen takes\, the amazing power of these tiny grains of life\, and the challenges that honeybees and pollinators face\, U-M Stamps School of Art & Design professor Susan Crowell fashioned large-scale ceramic sculptures of pollen. The sculptures will be displayed in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As part of the exhibit Crowell has also created three sculptures of  pollen collected from the 80-year-old agave that bloomed at Matthaei in 2014. The agave pollen sculptures are based on scanning electron microscope images of the pollen taken by the U-M Hospitals imaging lab.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography and Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWhat are the labor market effects of disenfranchisement? A large literature documents the impact of enfranchisement on public spending\, but less is known about the interaction of voting status and labor market outcomes. One potential mechanism is that of political patronage employment: the exchange of government employment for electoral support. Using for identification the repeal of state-level laws which enfranchised non-citizen immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, I find that from 1900-1930\, non-citizen immigrants were 28 – 42% more likely to obtain public employment while enfranchised than after the repeal of the laws. This result is robust to a variety of specifications. Consistent with a patronage mechanism\, I find that this effect is strongest in local electoral environments in which a single vote constituted a higher fraction of the expected winning margin: those counties with a recent history of more contested congressional races\, and a smaller overall voting pool.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Take Back the Economy: Building Community Economies
DESCRIPTION:In 1996 feminist economic geographer\, political economist and collective author J.K. Gibson-Graham wrote of giving up on “waiting for the revolution.” Instead Gibson-Graham proposed to smash capitalism while working at home in her spare time. In the twenty years since writing The End of Capitalism (As We Knew It): A Feminist Critique of Political Economy\, Gibson-Graham and members of the Community Economies Collective have developed numerous strategies for taking back the economy for people and the planet. In this presentation\, Katherine Gibson will review some of these strategies that link to economic experiments forging post-capitalist ways of being all over the world.\n\nKatherine Gibson is a Professorial Research Fellow in the Institute for Culture and Society at the University of Western Sydney. She is an economic geographer with an international reputation for innovative research on economic transformation and over 30 years’ experience of working with communities to build resilient economies. As J.K. Gibson-Graham\, the collective authorial presence she shares with the late Julie Graham (Professor of Geography\, University of Massachusetts Amherst)\,  her books include The End of Capitalism (As We Knew It): A Feminist Critique of Political Economy (Blackwell 1996) and A Postcapitalist Politics(University of Minnesota Press\, 2006). Her most recent books are Take Back the Economy: An Ethical Guide for Transforming Our Communities\, co-authored with Jenny Cameron and Stephen Healy (University of Minnesota Press\, 2013)\, Making Other Worlds Possible: Performing Diverse Economies\, co-edited with Gerda Roelvink and Kevin St Martin (University of Minnesota Press\, 2015) and Manifesto For Living in the Anthropocene\, co-edited with Deborah Bird Rose and Ruth Fincher (Punctum Press\, 2015).\n\nSponsored by: The Border Collective Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop and the Marxisms Interdisciplinary Working Group
