Michigan's role in Modernism  

Thought you might like the photos or even might like to attend:
"Michigan Modern, a planned four-day symposium (June 13 through 16) and four-month design exhibit (June 14 through October 13) by the state of Michigan and Cranbrook Art Museum. The exhibit and symposium will highlight the role Michigan played in the history of American Modernism, one that's largely been under-appreciated. America's modernist legacy is more often associated with Los Angeles, a city that came of age during the middle of the 20th century while embracing car culture, high design homes and Herman Miller furniture ? all ideas that, along with the Eames lounge chair and those iconic Cadillac fins, originally germinated in Michigan."
