SUMMARY:Exhibition:UN/EARTH
DESCRIPTION:Featuring work by Gina Gibson\, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead\, South Dakota\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation\, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan\, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology\, geology and engineering.\n\nGina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019\, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new\, the light and dark\, and the known and unknown.\n\nUN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics\, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

SUMMARY:Performance:Al Bettis
DESCRIPTION:Acoustic soul and indie folk from Detroit\n \nSome label him as acoustic soul\, others as indie folk\, but what all can agree on is the undeniable gifting that's displayed once Al Bettis hits the stage. His style is soothing yet polished \,which makes it hard to believe he began singing and writing music at age 30.  \"I felt a call to begin to write music but I was confused because I'd never done that before. When I said\, 'I can't play an instrument\, Lord\,' He said\, 'Get a guitar...' and here we are today!\" Al says. Originating from Detroit\, Al Bettis has opened for such artists as Valerie June (at The Ark)\, Dwele\, and Leon Timbo. He has also been featured at the acclaimed Ford Arts\, Beats and Eats\, Detroit River Days\, Radio One\, the Michigan State Fair\, and the Meridian Winter Blast\, to name a few\, and he cites He cites artists like Ed Sheeran\, Leon Timbo\, Passenger\, City and Colour\, and Jason Mraz among his list of musical influences.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4123/4124 for more detail.
