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 UID:29456-3120423@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160508T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160508T170000 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 UID:29503-3129507@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160512T143154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160508T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160508T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Extreme Time DESCRIPTION:Think you know all about time?

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.

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.

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 UID:29456-3120424@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160509T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160509T170000 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 UID:29503-3129508@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160502T133929 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160509T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160509T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:U-M Fulbright Information Session DESCRIPTION:A U-M Fulbright Program Advisor will describe the application and selection process and provide suggestions for making your application more competitive. \n\nLaptops are welcome and encouraged.

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 UID:29456-3120425@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160329T123251 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160510T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160510T170000 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 UID:30041-3321254@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30041 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160510T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160510T170000 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 UID:29503-3129509@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160510T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160510T170000 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.

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 UID:30409-3452055@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30409 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160515T120010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Dad Vail/ECAC DESCRIPTION:East-bound UID:28633-3720165@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/28633 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Lake Quinsigamond/Schuylkill River CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160518T180010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T235959 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Free tango lessons and parties\, weekly with MATC DESCRIPTION:Lessons\, guided practice\, and parties -- free for beginner-level tango dancers. Throughout Spring-Summer:Mondays - Dance party and individual help at Pittsfield Grange 8pm (except 5/16)Wednesdays - Tango lesson and practice time at Mason Hall 8pmEvery other Saturday - Dance party in UM Union The classic Argentine style of tango is a dance with a hug-like embrace that cultivates a sense of dynamic balance. Ann Arbor has a welcoming and diverse tango community\, with meetups happening several times a week.

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 UID:29456-3120426@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160329T123251 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T170000 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 UID:30041-3321255@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30041 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T170000 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 UID:29503-3129510@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160511T170000 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:This lecture represents an appeal for a certain understanding of the role of the liberal arts in a contemporary American university. That role is crucially tied to the 
function of the imagination\, which must operate freely in the ongoing formation of personal and community identity. He will note particularly in this context two passages\, at least\, from supreme works of the literary imagination: one from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet\,” the other from Toni Morrison’s “Beloved.”\n\nRalph G. Williams\, received his Ph.D. from UM and subsequently taught at Cornell University\, before returning to UM in 1970. In addition to teaching courses in Shakespeare\, the Bible in English\, and Primo Levi\, he has directed the Program on Studies in Religion\, lectured in the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, helped develop the residencies at UM of England’s Royal 
Shakespeare Company\, and directed UM’s program in Florence\, Italy. He has received the Lifetime Golden Apple Award\, the Carnegie Professor of the Year Award for Michigan\, and taken a lead role in a recent movie filmed in Ann Arbor “Answer This.”\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Power of the Liberal Arts.

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 UID:29456-3120427@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160329T123251 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160512T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160512T170000 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 UID:30041-3321256@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30041 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160512T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160512T170000 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 UID:29503-3129511@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160512T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160512T170000 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.

Joe has collected plenty of the requisite Dylan comparisons over his young career\, but on his new album\, \"Windfall\,\" it’s easier to hear the sway of more contemporary influences like Josh Ritter\, Ryan Adams and M.Ward. The theme of resilience plays a central role throughout \"Windfall.\" The weary protagonist in “Veteran Fighter” wills his way further down the highway despite the gloom that seems certain to overtake him. ”The Measure”\, a song inspired in part by Frederic Buechner’s novel Godric\, marvels at ”every inch of anguish\, laid out side by side” but ultimately finds that “All we’ve lost is nothing to what we’ve found.” ”I never really write songs with a specific narrative in mind\,” Joe explains. “When you’re sort of pushing through a dark period of your life it’s probably inevitable that some of that is going to find its way onto the page. But in the same way\, by the time we were in the studio the process had become very effortless and joyful. And hopefully you can hear a lot of that on the record as well.” As the saying goes\, “All’s well that ends well.” Joe Pug didn’t call it quits after all\, and we're glad he didn't!

Strategies to combat ZIKV infection require basic understanding of its infection mechanism. ZIKV belongs to the flavivirus family\, whose members include West Nile and Dengue viruses. As infection by flaviviruses co-opts the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein quality control machineries\, we hypothesize that ZIKV also hijacks these cellular machineries to promote infections. \n\nThis presentation will focus on ER-associated responses\, which represent druggable pathways under evaluation for the treatment of multiple human disorders. ER-associated responses could serve as starting points to find effective therapeutic agents to treat flavivirus infection.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nBilly Tsai\, Ph.D.\, Corydon Ford Collegiate Professor\, University Michigan\n\nBilly Tsai has been a member of the Cell and Developmental Biology faculty at the University of Michigan Medical School since 2003. He received his Bachelor of Science degree (Phi Beta Kappa\, magna cum laude) and Master of Science degree at the University of California at Los Angeles. He received his doctorate in molecular and cellular biology from Harvard University in 1999 and then completed a 3.5 year Damon-Runyon post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School.

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 UID:29456-3120428@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160329T123251 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160513T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160513T170000 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 UID:30041-3321257@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30041 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160513T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160513T170000 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 UID:29503-3129512@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160513T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160513T170000 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.

Structures of full-length amyloid proteins are rare and limited in resolution. Bacterial functional amyloids\, in particular\, have proceeded in a vacuum of structural knowledge. Our structural work on microbial amyloid peptides and spine segments show that the amyloid fold is far more diverse and rich in conformations than currently acknowledged\, and suggest that we are only at the dawn of understanding the mystery of the amyloid and its structure-function relationships.

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 UID:29456-3120429@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160329T123251 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160514T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160514T170000 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 UID:30041-3321258@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30041 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160329T124905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160514T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160514T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:30043-3321344@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160308T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160514T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160514T170000 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 UID:29503-3129513@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29503 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Information and Technology,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Media Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160514T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160514T170000 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.
