SUMMARY:Performance:Eric Johanson
DESCRIPTION:Blues and southern roots\n\nEric Johanson blends sharp songwriting with a deep connection to the guitar\, creating music that’s dynamic\, soulful\, and rooted in a mix of rock\, blues\, and modern influences. His playing is expressive without being flashy—riff-driven and rhythmic one moment\, fluid and melodic the next—always serving the song rather than overpowering it. There’s a rawness to his sound\, but also a sense of purpose\, pulling from the weight of tradition while pushing toward something new. Whether channeling the swampy pulse of his New Orleans home or leaning into heavier\, fuzz-laden textures\, Johanson’s music strikes a balance between grit and finesse\, power and restraint. As American Songwriter puts it\, he “displays his guitar prowess but within the borders of melodies and lyrics that push the boundaries of blues/rock… searing guitar work\, and persuasive songwriting.”\n\nSince the release of The Deep and the Dirty\, Johanson has toured extensively\, playing over 100 cities and 10 countries in 2024 alone. His momentum has landed him at the top of the Billboard Blues Chart and on stages alongside some of the most respected names in rock and roots music. Named one of the 25 Best New Blues Guitarists by Guitar Player Magazine and included in Total Guitar's list of the 100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time\, he’s carved out a space where strong songwriting and distinctive guitar work go hand in hand. Whether on record or on stage\, Johanson’s playing is electrifying\, his voice unfiltered\, and his approach unmistakably his own.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biological Sciences Building Sustainable Lab Day
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Campus Sustainability\, LSA Sustainability\, and the Planet Blue Ambassador Program are hosting a “Sustainable Lab Day” in the Biological Sciences Building (BSB) on June 12th to try and reduce barriers for labs looking to become sustainably certified. The sustainable lab certification helps labs reduce their energy and waste\, make greener pruchases\, and practice green chemistry. Prior to the event\, labs need to complete the baseline certification application form. Then they can sign up for a lab site visit to review improvements as well as attend a Planet Blue Ambassador training and Freezer Challenge information session with their lab mates. Free pizza will be available during the training and those who complete the training get a coupon for a free ice cream cone to Washtenaw Dairy in July. Lastly\, the event includes tabling in the BSB lobby from 9am-3pm with sustainability information\, giveaways\, and snacks!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Carlo Vitale Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Carlo Vitale is a distinguished Michigan-based artist whose vibrant contributions to the Detroit art scene have flourished since the 1970s. A native of Detroit\, Vitale's work is celebrated as part of the second generation of the Cass Corridor Art Movement\, Detroit’s first avante garde. His art draws inspiration from the sweeping vistas of farmland seen from above\, the intricate patterns of quilt-making\, the dynamic energy of cityscapes\, and the rich tapestry of daily life. Vitale eloquently characterizes his mesmerizing oil paintings and prints as “kinetic\, metaphysical abstractions\,” inviting viewers to engage with the depth and vitality of his creative vision.\n\nVitale received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Masters of Fine Arts from Wayne State University in Detroit.  His work can be found in many collections including The Whitney Museum of Fine Art in New York\, The Detroit Institute of Art\, Cranbrook Art Museum\, Wayne State University Collection\, University of Michigan Museum of Art and corporate\, hospital\, and private collections throughout the country.
