SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:TO DWELL IN POSSIBILITY: CREATIVITY AS PROCESS AND STASIS
DESCRIPTION:The desire to create something new\, tangible or intangible\, is deep-rooted. Our education system\, even at the university level\, often inadvertently squashes that beautiful\, wild desire. Yet creative impulse and practice have led to our greatest works of art and to many of our greatest scientific and medical discoveries. How does the creative writing classroom offer a model for teaching creativity and engaging with our intricate\, swift-moving world?\n\nMs. Michelle Regalado Deatrick received her B.A. from Wesleyan and her Master’s from 
Harvard. While working on her doctoral dissertation in political science and statistics\, she began writing fiction and poetry. Michelle has an MFA from UM where she received the 
Hopwood Awards in Fiction and Poetry\, the Bain-Swigget Prize for Poetry\, and a Graduate Classics translation prize. Her poetry and fiction have appeared and are forthcoming in 
several literary journals.\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Power of the Liberal Arts. The next lecture will be May 12\, entitled JUST IMAGINE!

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.

DESCRIPTION:Arthur F. Thurnau Professor\nAssociate Professor\, Women's Studies and Political Science (by courtesy)\nAssociate Director\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender \nUndergraduate Director\, Science\, Technology and Society Program\n\n\nAbstract: In our no-fault vaccine injury compensation court\, lawyers\, activists\, judges\, doctors\, and scientists come together\, sometimes arguing bitterly\, trying to figure out whether a vaccine really caused a person’s medical problem. Despite all the controversy swirling around vaccines\, this special court provides a place for reasoned argument and consideration of a range of evidence and perspectives that ultimately supports the crucial role vaccines play in our society while also doing justice to people who have been harmed.

SUMMARY:Other:Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage:  Materials Synthesis\, Characterization and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Electrochemical energy conversion and storage is important for developing an energy-sustainable society.1  Our group focuses on (electro)catalysis and rechargeable batteries.  The research starts with materials synthesis\, chemical/structural characterization\, and performance assessments.  This talk will consist of two topics: noble metal nanostructures for (electro)catalysis and electrode materials for advanced rechargeable batteries.  \n\nHighly dispersed noble metal nanostructures (such as Pd and Au)\, a group of important catalysts for many applications\, are typically synthesized via top-down or bottom-up methods.  Not many syntheses integrate the advantages of both strategies.  Recently\, we have developed such an unconventional method\,2\,3 which is entitled “alternating voltage induced electrochemical synthesis (AVIES)”.  This method enables a simultaneous synthesis of both colloidal nanoparticles and nanostructured electrodes.4  I will discuss the synthesis\, characterization\, formation mechanism\, and (electro)catalytitic performance of a few noble metals. \n\nLithium ion batteries (LIBs)\, the most advanced rechargeable batteries\, are currently ubiquitous in portable devices and will be popular in large-scale applications (such as electric vehicles) in the future.5  We are interested in both anode and cathode materials made of earth-abundant elements.  This presentation will focus on alkali sulfide (M2S\, M = Li and Na) cathodes.6\,7  M2S cathodes are attractive for developing M-S batteries\, because they can circumvent many issues associated with the direct use of metal anodes and sulfur cathodes.8  However\, one big challenge towards realizing practical M2S cathodes\, which require both high specific capacity and capacity density\, is the lack of an efficient method to produce M2S secondary clusters – the entities of assembled M2S nanoparticles.6  In this talk\, I will demonstrate our progress towards this ultimate goal.\n \nReferences:\n  (1)  Whittingham\, M.

SUMMARY:Performance:Buffy Sainte Marie
DESCRIPTION:Of Canadian Cree background\, Buffy Sainte-Marie was a graduating college senior in 1962 and hit the ground running in the early 1960s\, after the beatniks and before the hippies. She toured North America’s colleges\, reservations\, and concert halls\, meeting both huge acclaim and huge misperception from audiences and record companies who expected Pocahontas in fringes\, and instead were both entertained and educated with their initial dose of Native American reality in the first person. Her song \"Until It’s Time for You to Go\" was recorded by Elvis and Barbra and Cher\, and her \"Universal Soldier\" became an anthem of the peace movement. For five years she was a member of the cast of \"Sesame Street.\" With her \"I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again\" album (1967)\, containing the classics \"Soulful Shade of Blue\" and \"Sometimes When I Get to Thinkin'\" she brought about a folk-country meeting of the minds\, and ever since then\, with a series of albums that now numbers 18\, she has continued to explore own heritage musically\; in Native American communities she has remained a legendary figure. Buffy Sainte-Marie helped to found Canada’s Music of Aboriginal Canada JUNO category\, raised a son\, earned a Ph.D. in Fine Arts\, taught Digital Music as adjunct professor at several colleges\, and won an Academy Award Oscar and a Golden Globe Award for the song \"Up Where We Belong.\" Her blazing Saturday-night set in 2015 was one of the highlights of recent Ann Arbor Folk Festivals.

DESCRIPTION:Learn about the key factors involved in running successful clinical proof-of-concept studies.\n\nStrategies for studying new drug candidates in early clinical testing have changed dramatically over the last few years as the industry and regulators respond to increasing public expectations for access to more effective and safer medicines.\n\nFor drug developers\, establishing Clinical Proof-of-Concept (CPoC) has become critically important in determining whether or not to make further investments of time and effort into a new drug therapy.  This in turn drives the need for earlier access to patients and robust clinical biomarkers of effect\, safety and patient selection.\n\nThis presentation will focus on strategies and challenges in working with patients to establish CPoC with examples of success.  \n\nAbout the speaker\nAs Vice President of Global Drug Development\, Dr. Pritchard leads a global team of drug development and regulatory affairs experts\, project management professionals and alliance managers that work actively with clients to bring their drug products efficiently through early clinical testing.\n\nDr. Pritchard brings 30 years of drug development experience to his work\, including pre-registration work on five currently marketed pharmaceuticals and several that are currently in clinical development. Leveraging his experience in leading international teams of scientists at large pharmaceutical companies\, Dr. Pritchard founded and led a group of consultants and program directors within a full service CRO that collectively worked on nearly 40 integrated drug development programs\, bringing several of these through IND into phase I and II clinical trials.\n\nDr. Pritchard has given numerous invited lectures at scientific meetings and academic institutions and is an author on over 120 scientific publications and abstracts. He is the 2000 Alumni Fellow of the Penn State College of Medicine\, and named one of nine “Notable People in Pharmaceutical R&D” by R&D Directions magazine in 2009. He currently serves on the Therapy Acceleration Program Committee for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS)\, the LLS North Carolina Chapter Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of the Research Triangle Park Drug Metabolism Discussion Group where he has been past Chair and Treasurer.

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:Class / Instruction:Shodo
DESCRIPTION:Shodo is the art of drawing characters with brush and ink to express spiritual depth through the beauty of brush strokes. It began in China\, but in Japan both Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese phonetic characters) are combined to create a uniquely Japanese art. By controlling the thickness and tone of the characters\, the calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. The drawing process encourages calming of the mind and peacefulness. This class for those over 50 meets for two hours.  Tools are provided for classroom use only. Because we will be using black ink\, it is advised to bring a smock or cloth that can be washed. \n \nInstructor:    Konomi Shinohara Corbin

SUMMARY:Other:Organic Reactions Symposium
DESCRIPTION:N-Alkylated 2-pyridones are an important class of heterocycles that are found commonly in both natural products and pharmacologically active structures. Interest in these compounds stems from their ability to serve as models for hydrogen bonding\, tautomerization\, and proton shuttling in both chemical and biological processes. As such\, the development of methods for the synthesis of functionally diverse N-alkyl 2-pyridone-containing scaffolds continues to be important. With this goal in mind\, our group has developed a suite of reactions that convert O-propargyloxypyridines into a diverse array of useful platforms\, including β-iodo N-alkenyl 2-pyridones and α-(N-2-pyridonyl)ketones. These transformations occur upon treatment with either lithium iodide or gold(III) and proceed via either a 5-exo and 6-endo reaction pathway. Under gold(I) catalysis\, we have shown that both the 5-exo and 6-endo reaction pathways are accessible simultaneously\, as products derived from both modes of cyclization are observed. The evolution of our research program and investigations into the gold(I)-catalyzed system will be discussed.\nMatt  Sigman\, University of Utah\n Bringing Modern Data Analysis Tools to Prediction in Catalyst Discovery\nCarolyn Anderson\, Calvin College\n New Methods for the Synthesis of N-Substituted 2-Pyridones

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Tale of Two “Villas”: Luxury\, Wine\, and Water and the Last Years of Oplontis
DESCRIPTION:The same eruption that destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum also claimed the seaside area of ancient Oplontis\, now buried under the modern town of Torre Annunziata. Though archaeologists in the nineteen-sixties and seventies uncovered the sites of what they would label Oplontis Villas A and B\, it was not until 2005 that a comprehensive study would begin under the Oplontis Project. Michael Thomas\, co-director of the project\, takes us through the years leading up to the eruption.  During that time the two sites Villa A—a luxury villa known to many as the Villa of Poppea—would undergo a major renovation only to be abandoned soon after.  In contrast\, the mislabeled Villa B would thrive as a bustling center of commerce\, still active in the wine trade up until the moment of the eruption.\n\nThe special exhibition \"Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero: The Villas of Oplontis Near Pompeii\" will be open from 4:00-6:00pm prior to the lecture.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Smither
DESCRIPTION:Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for 50 years\, Chris Smither is truly an American original. After a series of timeless records dating back to the early 1970s\, Chris' newest release\, \"Still On the Levee\,\" is a career-spanning retrospective double CD. The record highlights the vast catalog of an American music master. Reviewers and fans from around the world agree that Chris is a profound songwriter\, a blistering guitarist and\, as he puts it\, a \"one-man band to the bone.\" Chris melds the styles of his two major influences\, Lightnin' Hopkins and Mississippi John Hurt\, into his own signature guitar sound. His music continues to draw deeply from the blues\, American folk music\, modern poets\, and humanist philosophers. Chris may be best known for writing \"Love You Like A Man\,\" which Bonnie Raitt and more recently jazz great Kelly Clarkson have covered. His music has been covered by numerous artists and featured in soundtrack albums\, independent film\, television and commercials\, and at The Ark he has a meeting of the minds with audiences that occurs in very few other places.

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.

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:Lucy Kaplansky
DESCRIPTION:The daughter of the famed Polish-Canadian mathematician Irving Kaplansky (who once wrote a song based on the first 14 digits of pi that his daughter has been known to perform)\, Lucy Kaplansky started out singing in Chicago bars. Then\, barely out of high school\, she took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—Suzanne Vega\, John Gorka\, Bill Morrissey\, Cliff Eberhardt\, and others—where she fit right in. She's a singer-songwriter with an extraordinary feel for the range of human emotion. Lucy puts her own spin on contemporary songwriter folk with warm\, powerful vocals and guitar playing that draws guitar gods (or geeks) to talk shop with her. Lucy Kaplansky\, says the Boston Globe\, \"is becoming the troubadour laureate of modern city folk.\" We haven't seen Lucy's full show at The Ark for several years\, so it's time to come out and see what this wonderful songwriter has been up to and working through

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

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:Presentation:'New Technologies and Victorian Society: Early British Photographs from the UMMA Collection' Guided Tour
DESCRIPTION:The announcement of the invention of photography in 1839 by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre in Paris\, and William Henry Fox Talbot in London\, generated interest in the possibilities of this new technology as well as discussion of its merits\, potential\, and applications.  The first half-century of British photography charts the journey of a new medium with distinct expressive and artistic potentials. Photography served as an aid to science and exploration but also captured aspects of British society in ways that are poetic and artistic. Some photographers demonstrated an interest in social reform while others revealed sentimental notions of the island’s remote past. By the end of the century\, advances in camera speeds and printing techniques facilitated landscape photography and other picturesque Victorian scenes. UMMA docents will introduce the trajectory of Victorian photography on display in this exhibition.

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: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:In Focus: Jeanne Gang
DESCRIPTION:Widely acclaimed for her integrative approach to materials\, technology\, and ecological context\, Chicago-based architect Jeanne Gang was selected as a MacArthur Fellow in 2011. Shortly thereafter Gang proposed an ambitious restoration of the Chicago riverfront through a series of small but transformational projects. The WMS Boathouse\, designed by Gang and located north of downtown\, is one such project\, encompassing a field house with state-of-the art training facilities\, a boat storage building\, and a floating dock at the river’s edge. Completed in 2013\, the 22\,000-square-foot boathouse is the city’s premier rowing center\, serving a range of public rowing clubs\, many of whose amateur athletes come from the city’s underserved communities.\n\nThis installation showcases dynamic exterior and interior sketches of the complex—recently acquired by UMMA—depicting the distinctive rhythmic contours of the roof\, derived from studies of rowers in motion\, and the open\, angular\, and light-filled spaces within.\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:Other:Ligand influences on earth-abundant metals for multi-electron transformations
DESCRIPTION:Multi-electron transformations featuring late first-row transition metals are both particularly challenging and interesting.  Utilizing various ligand designs we have discovered routes to enable two-electron redox processes on earth-abundant metals.  These transformations feature inorganic oxyanions which have long been touted for their inertness and are generally considered to be non-complexing anions\, poor nucleophiles and kinetically inert to oxidation and reduction.  A series multi-dentate ligand frameworks containing both hydrogen bond donating and accepting moieties in the secondary coordination sphere have been synthesized and reactivity will be described.  Using a strong-field ligand bis(carbene) ligand platform we have been able to demonstrate two-electron redox reactions on both cobalt and nickel complexes to access relatively rare organometallic species that are capable of a variety of catalytic transformations.  \nAlison Fout\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n Ligand influences on earth-abundant metals for multi-electron transformations

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:In Focus: Jeanne Gang
DESCRIPTION:Widely acclaimed for her integrative approach to materials\, technology\, and ecological context\, Chicago-based architect Jeanne Gang was selected as a MacArthur Fellow in 2011. Shortly thereafter Gang proposed an ambitious restoration of the Chicago riverfront through a series of small but transformational projects. The WMS Boathouse\, designed by Gang and located north of downtown\, is one such project\, encompassing a field house with state-of-the art training facilities\, a boat storage building\, and a floating dock at the river’s edge. Completed in 2013\, the 22\,000-square-foot boathouse is the city’s premier rowing center\, serving a range of public rowing clubs\, many of whose amateur athletes come from the city’s underserved communities.\n\nThis installation showcases dynamic exterior and interior sketches of the complex—recently acquired by UMMA—depicting the distinctive rhythmic contours of the roof\, derived from studies of rowers in motion\, and the open\, angular\, and light-filled spaces within.\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:Lecture / Discussion:Art\, War & Social Revolution
DESCRIPTION:This meeting will address the present political and cultural\nsituation in the light of American imperialism’s reckless and\nrelentless war drive\, which threatens humanity with a global\nconfl agration.\n\nThe past decade and a half in particular have witnessed\nthe extraordinary brutalization and degradation of popular\nculture and artistic life in general in the US. The great\nmajority of the population opposes the endless wars and\nmilitary-police violence\, but the present political system\nexcludes their sentiments and interests.\n\nWhat has happened to the mass anti-war sentiment in the\nearly 2000s? How have artists (fi lmmakers\, novelists and\nothers) and intellectuals reacted to the growing war danger?\n\nHistorically\, what has been the response of artists to such\na danger? How can the struggle against imperialist war and\nfor a socialist culture be advanced?\n\nAbout the speaker:\nDavid Walsh\, arts editor of the\nWorld Socialist Web Site\, is an\nexpert on contemporary culture and\nits relationship to politics and social\nlife. He is the author of thousands of\nfilm reviews and essays on art and\nhistory\, some of which are collected\nin the recently published book\,\nSky Between the Leaves.
