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:Performance:April in Paris: Life Sciences Orchestra concert
DESCRIPTION:If you can’t make it to Paris this spring\, the U-M Life Sciences Orchestra will offer the next best thing on Sunday\, April 24. \n\nAnd best of all\, it’s free.\n\nThe LSO\, joined by a range of talented soloists\, will perform  a French-themed concert that includes the entire first act of Giacomo Puccini’s beloved opera La Bohème\, set in Paris\, as well as French composer Francis Poulenc’s Organ Concerto and George Gershwin’s An American in Paris. \n \nThe concert will begin at 4 p.m. in U-M’s famous Hill Auditorium\, is open to all with general admission seating. No tickets are required. \n\nThe LSO is made up of dozens of members of the U-M medical and scientific community\, and the concert will conclude the orchestra’s 16th season of blending science and music.\n\nMusic director Roberto Kalb will give a pre-concert talk at 3:15 p.m. in the lower level of the building to help audience members get the most out of the performance. \n\nOpera for all\n\nFor the concert-style performance of La Bohème’s most upbeat act\, Kalb will lead the LSO and vocal soloists to evoke the story of Parisian bohemians in the 1830s. In addition to his role with the LSO\, Kalb is an experienced opera conductor\, both at U-M and the Opera Theatre of St. Louis. \n\nThe lively and witty lyrics\, sung in Italian\, will be projected in English\, making the performance accessible even to those who have never seen an opera. \n\nThe vocal talent assembled for the performance includes up-and-coming singers Ann Toomey as Mimi\,  Joshua Wheeker as Rodolfo\, Zachary Crowle as Marcello\, Michael Miller as Schaunard\, and Glenn Healy as Colline. Special guest Stephen West\, chair of the Department of Voice at the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, will sing the part of the bohemians’ landlord Benoit.\n\nThe concert’s second half will begin with Poulenc’s moving piece for organ\, strings and timpani\, composed in the 1930s. Soloist Naki Sung Kripfgans\, a prominent organist and winner of the LSO Concerto Competition\, will perform on Hill Auditorium’s legendary Frieze Memorial Organ. \n\nThe performance will conclude with Gershwin’s Jazz Age masterpiece\, a symphonic poem that traces the adventures of an American strolling through the city -- and feeling homesick as well. As the composer intended\, the percussion section will include a set of authentic Paris taxi horns\, which will be played in accordance with new recommendations from U-M musicologist and Gershwin Initiative leader Mark Clague about the notes these horns should play. (Read more here: http://umhealth.me/gershhorn) \n\nThe LSO is made up of medical\, health and science faculty\, staff\, students and alumni from across U-M\, and is led by Kalb with assistant conductor Jacobsen Woollen.  \n\nKalb holds the Gilbert S. Omenn\, M.D. Music Director position with the LSO\, made possible by a gift from its namesake\, the first U-M executive vice president for medical affairs and a longtime supporter of the LSO.\n\nKalb and Woollen are both graduate students in the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance’s nationally known orchestral conducting program\, from which the LSO has drawn its conductors for its entire 16 years of blending science and music. \n\nThe orchestra is part of the Gifts of Art program\, which brings the world of art and music to the U-M Health System. The LSO gives members an outlet for their musical talents and a chance to interact with one another across academic disciplines and professions. Founded by students and staff from the U-M Health System\, the orchestra made its concert debut in January 2001. \n\nFor more information on the concert or the LSO\, visit http://lso.med.umich.edu/  or www.facebook.com/umlso\, send e-mail to orchestra@umich.edu\, or call (734) 936-ARTS.

SUMMARY:Performance:Alan Doyle and the Beautiful Gypsies
DESCRIPTION:Alan Doyle\, actor\, producer\, newly minted best-selling author (his book \"Where I Belong\" is about growing up in Newfoundland and Labrador)\, and best known as lead singer for Newfoundland’s beloved Great Big Sea these past 20-plus years\, recently released his second solo album\, \"Let's Go.\" “If there’s an overarching theme on this record\, it’s one of optimism … not that this is in contrast to my previous doom-laden songs!” laughs Alan\, who says this album is both freer and closer to the roots than its 2012 predecessor\, \"Boy On Bridge. “On my last solo record I wanted to explore musical backyards of friends of mine in different parts of the musical world. It was as much a physical as a musical journey away from home\,\" Alan says. \"On 'So Let’s Go\,' folks will hear much more stuff from my backyard and all the traditional and Celtic influences I grew up with\, married with the most contemporary collaborators out there.” It adds up to a show with all the energy Great Big Sea is known for\, but with musical growth added to the mix. \"So Let's Go\" continues to cement Alan Doyle's reputation as one of Canada's most treasured musicians and storytellers—and one of North America's most exciting showmen. \"I always want people to have the greatest night of their life when the house lights go down\,\" Alan says.
