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: The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides income support to a growing number of children with disabilities in the United States. Many SSI recipients also receive publicly-provided health insurance through state Medicaid programs. In this paper\, we analyze the relationship between SSI and child outcomes by exploiting discontinuous changes in SSI eligibility for low birth weight infants using a regression discontinuity approach. We study the effects of the child SSI program on hospitalizations and mortality\, child development\, maternal labor supply\, parenting behaviors\, and maternal depression using data from the ECLS-B\, HCUP and Vital Statistics. Our findings contribute to a growing body of evidence linking investments in early child development and later outcomes.

SUMMARY:Other:Highly Selective Profluorophores for Detection and Imaging of hNQO1-linked Cancer Cells
DESCRIPTION:Molecular probes designed to report the presence of target analytes—particularly those associated with human disease—via fluorescence transduction\, are of great interest to the measurement science and biomedical communities. By taking advantage of the upregulated nature of a target biological analyte\, it may be possible to offer highly selective detection and imaging of target presence within individual cells and in tissues. This presentation focuses on a novel group of light emission-silent probes from which is generated a fluorescent reporter due to probe activation by an intracellular oxidoreductase that is directly associated with a wide variety of cancers. To be discussed is the ability to detect individual cancer cells expressing high levels of the oxidoreductase\, as well as imaging of 3-dimensional tumor mimics.Robin McCarley\, Louisiana State University\,

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Moving from Career Success to Retirement Success
DESCRIPTION:For those anticipating retirement in the next 24 months\, this six-session group on preparing for a satisfying retirement will combine exploration of relevant topics with creative expression and supportive discussion. The focus of this group will be on the transition of retirement and the challenges that come with it -- from questions like \"How will I define myself?\" to “How will I establish priorities and spend my time?”\n\nThis series will help you plan for the non-financial aspects of retirement\, such as redefining who you are\, revisiting what is most important to you\, exploring new interests and opportunities\, and maintaining social connections. You will also learn about what researchers find makes for a fulfilling retirement. \n\nThis program is open to all U-M personnel (staff\, faculty\, and students) and to the general public.\n\nYou must register for the entire series\, as each session is sequenced to provide an optimal experience. The registration fee of $150 covers all six sessions.\nhttp://www.cew.umich.edu/progevents/moving-career-success-retirement-success/20160113
