Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThree Michigan Architects: Part 2–Metcalf is the second in a series of three consecutive exhibitions\, with subsequent presentation of domestic work by George Brigham (July 19–October 12\, 2014). Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200011@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140124T131419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140504T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140504T160000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Detroit Observatory Daylight Tour DESCRIPTION:Built in 1854\, Detroit Observatory signaled the University of Michigan’s ambition to become a center of scientific research.

Geils Band\, and he had a hand as writer in many of their hit songs (although not \"Centerfold\"). His charismatic stage presence was integral to that band's success\, which crossed geographic and racial lines. Peter went on to a great solo career that has included such radio-friendly hits as \"Come As You Are\" as well as deeper album tracks that showed his passion for classic soul and R&B. He's never stopped performing\, and the J. Geils reunion shows around the turn of the century were legendary. A set of 2009 solo gigs was supposed to be a farewell tour\, and it was mostly sold out–but then came the 2010 album \"Midnight Souvenirs\,\" on which Peter indulged his longtime passion for country music.

She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200012@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140217T152945 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140505T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:An Evening with Peter Wolf DESCRIPTION:Peter Wolf was the longtime lead singer of rock's J. Geils Band\, and he had a hand as writer in many of their hit songs (although not \"Centerfold\"). His charismatic stage presence was integral to that band's success\, which crossed geographic and racial lines. Peter went on to a great solo career that has included such radio-friendly hits as \"Come As You Are\" as well as deeper album tracks that showed his passion for classic soul and R&B. He's never stopped performing\, and the J. Geils reunion shows around the turn of the century were legendary. A set of 2009 solo gigs was supposed to be a farewell tour\, and it was mostly sold out–but then came the 2010 album \"Midnight Souvenirs\,\" on which Peter indulged his longtime passion for country music.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThree Michigan Architects: Part 2–Metcalf is the second in a series of three consecutive exhibitions\, with subsequent presentation of domestic work by George Brigham (July 19–October 12\, 2014). Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200013@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140429T094200 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140506T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140506T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Biological Chemistry Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Dr. Robert Piper\, Ph.D. University of Iowa will be presenting a seminar titled \"How Ubiquitin Controls Endosomal Sorting.\"\nPlease join us on Tuesday\, May 6th from 12:00pm-1:00pm in West Lecture Hall for this seminar.

Calligraphy began in China\, but in Japan\, both Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese phonetic characters) are combined and devised to create a uniquely Japanese art. With the brush soaked in ink\, the thickness and the tone of the characters can be controlled. In this way\, a calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. In the class\, students will experience and practice the art of Japanese calligraphy with a brush and black ink\, learning both Kana and Kanji characters. The drawing process itself encourages a calming of the mind and peacefulness\, similar to a form of meditation. Tools provided for classroom only.

The music strikes listeners immediately with its sweet\, bluegrass-inflected simplicity\, but underneath snake Kenneth Pattengale's sinuous modal guitar lines\, sounding for all the world like a jazzified Bert Jansch dropped in to jam with the Everly Brothers. The harmonies of Pattengale and Joey Ryan\, while recalling classic brother duos from the Louvins to the Everlys\, achieve a richness that blends into a vivid unit. The New York Times praises The Milk Carton Kids as \"a sweetly dazzling variation on close-harmony vocals\, part Simon and Garfunkel and part Everly Brothers\, with occasional acoustic prestidigitation.\"\n UID:15592-1195047@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15592 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,the ark,the milk carton kids LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200014@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140304T132617 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140507T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Priscilla Ahn DESCRIPTION:Like many artists before her\, Priscilla Ahn went to the desert seeking transformation. After several albums with a team who'd paired her with co-writers not quite her style\, she had begun to doubt her own ability to express her true self in song. She went to the desert as a dare–to see what songs still lived in her\, to prove just what kind of record she could make on her own. \"I had to book a trip out to the desert and spend time by myself with a guitar and a keyboard. No pressure\, no guidelines\, no ”˜we need you to write this kind of song.’ It was so liberating\,\" Priscilla explains. \"It was scary at first--I wondered if I could even write songs anymore.\" She took off from L.A. and holed up in a hotel room outside Palm Springs (a 1920's getaway for Hollywood stars) to apply herself to her craft. The songs came immediately\, sometimes fully formed. Within the week she had an album–\"This Is Where We Are\,\" her first in three years. The lyrics are deeper and much more personal with Priscilla evidencing herself as a woman confident in her power and sexuality on tracks like the devotional \"Home\" and big-beat album opener \"Diana\,\" which was inspired by the myth of the goddess Artemis. \"That definitely a part of who I am that I’ve never had the courage–I’ve always been afraid to show sexuality for fear that it would be taken the wrong way.\" Though Priscilla has a gorgeous album to show from her time in desert\, ultimately the experience birthed her into her truest self as a songwriter and an artist. \"It was liberating–the haze that was over me was lifted. My confidence was regained\, again\,\" she says.\n UID:16791-1199392@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16791 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,priscilla ahn,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThree Michigan Architects: Part 2–Metcalf is the second in a series of three consecutive exhibitions\, with subsequent presentation of domestic work by George Brigham (July 19–October 12\, 2014). Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200015@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140421T130652 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140508T121000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140508T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:Gifts of Art presents Contemporary Folk & More DESCRIPTION:San Slomovits\, along with his brother Laz\, as the duo Gemini\, have been a popular folk duo throughout Michigan and the U.S. since 1973\, and San's daughter Emily began joining them on stage when she was just eight years old.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThree Michigan Architects: Part 2–Metcalf is the second in a series of three consecutive exhibitions\, with subsequent presentation of domestic work by George Brigham (July 19–October 12\, 2014). Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200016@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140304T133920 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140509T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas DESCRIPTION:Jessica Hernandez is a first-generation American who grew up in and around Detroit. There are few regions more impressive as the nitty-gritty of Rock City\, and it left its mark on the 25-year-old artist. Her voice is instantly recognizable. Its strength and soul are matched by an honest vulnerability. Whether she is singing heartfelt words about someone that has left this world too early\, or belting out a danceable tune through a big smile\, Hernandez is unforgettable ”¦ especially with her ultra-talented Deltas behind her. Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas honed their craft in sld-out shows and tours than span the nation\, and it's easiest to classify them by seeing the people that come to every show: all races\, all ages\, all fans of good music. Says Rock NYC Live: “Jessica Hernandez and her Deltas had this interesting twist as the music they played was simply unclassifiable\, and could sometimes take some bohemian-cabaret\, or gypsy-jazz or even funky-bluesy-soul turn. It was always festive\, with a dark side\, and everything sounded authentic.” \n UID:16792-1199393@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16792 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:jessica hernandez,jessica hernandez and the delta holds,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThree Michigan Architects: Part 2–Metcalf is the second in a series of three consecutive exhibitions\, with subsequent presentation of domestic work by George Brigham (July 19–October 12\, 2014). Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200017@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140210T155614 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140510T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Ragbirds present Ebird & Friends Kids Show!

Brother Joscephus and the Love Revolution play jazz-fueled music\, featuring complex arrangements with a gritty soul and a gospel heart. Since 2007\, they have been on a musical mission to make the world a more righteous place! The two main visionaries of this 12-piece explosion of love\, Brother Joscephus and his eccentric cohort the Right Reverend Dean Dawg\, dip heavily into a gumbo rich with New Orleans rhythms\, old-school soul\, classic rock stylings\, and feel-good gospel music.
