MOCAD exhibition features 40 Detroit artists

A voltage transformer, screws in plywood and reclaimed metal gears are some of the wide-ranging materials used in the new fall exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit . Why it matters: MOCAD's sweeping 20th anniversary exhibition honors the creative people who have shaped it. The arts space reopened this spring following a big renovation. The show features more than 80 artists — including 40 from Detroit. It celebrates the institution's history while contemplating its future. How it works: Media and artists got a peek of "20 Years of MOCAD" on Friday. The show is made up of four parts: "Process Driven" focuses on music and sound installations. "Artist as Architect" centers on artists who design spaces and experiences, reshaping our world. "Detroit as Material" shows artists engaging with the city's culture, infrastructure and history. "A Practice of Multiplicity" includes art that makes people talk — digging into social and political issues to understand our identities in new ways.

U-M-Los Alamos data center site 'highly archeologically sensitive'

The controversial Ypsilanti Township site chosen by the University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory for a $1.25 billion data center project is "highly archeologically sensitive," a major past trail route for Native American tribes that may include both artifacts and graves, the State Historic Preservation Office has informed project officials. Both Ypsilanti Township and the United Tribes of Michigan, a coalition of the 12 federally recognized tribes in the state, have passed resolutions calling on U-M to undertake a comprehensive archaeological review of the 144-acre site on Textile Road near Bridge Road, and to better consult with the tribes before disturbing sites of potential significance to their heritage. "It's disgraceful that they have not reached out and consulted the Native American tribes, given the historic nature of their relationship at U-M with the Huron River and knowing full well that the Bentley Library is filled with information and maps on the indigenous Native American trails throughout Washtenaw County," said Ypsilanti Township Attorney Doug Winters. U-M proposes a "high-performance research computing center" at the site in partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory, a New Mexico-based research institution focused on national security — including the manufacture of plutonium pits, the

Airport High puts artistic spin on Michigan snowplow safety

Airport High School students are putting their artistic skills to work on a Michigan snowplow while helping spread a message about safer winter driving. The Carleton school is among five Michigan schools participating in the Michigan Department of Transportation's annual Paint the Plow project, according to a community announcement. Airport High represents MDOT's University Region in the program. Students painted a snowplow blade as part of this year's "See snow? Go slow!" theme, which encourages motorists to slow down in winter conditions, stay alert and give snowplows enough room to operate safely. The finished snowplow blades will be put to work along Michigan state trunklines this winter, giving students' artwork a public display while the plows clear snow and ice. Paint the Plow combines art and winter safety MDOT's Paint the Plow program invites students to create artwork on snowplow blades built around safe-driving messages. The program also seeks to raise awareness of the snowplow operators who maintain Michigan roads during winter weather. Airport High is one of five schools participating this season. The others are Heritage High School and Cass City Jr./Sr. High School in MDOT's Bay Region, Belding Middle School in the Grand Region and Coloma High School
