SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Dr. Tiantian Yang
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Reservoirs and lakes are fundamental and multi-functional water infrastructures that collect\, store\, and deliver surface freshwater for a multitude of uses\, including flood and fire control\, recreation\, wildlife habitat\, residential\, industrial\, agricultural practices\, irrigation\, hydro-electric power generation\, drought mitigation\, and more. It is also a critical engineering environment that intervenes with both the hydrological cycle and human factors. Reservoir and lake release decisions\, inflow forecasting\, and storage management directly influence various aspects of socioeconomic functioning and our nation’s water resources’ security. In recent years\, more frequent and severe abrupt weather extremes\, natural hazards\, aging infrastructure\, and increased water demands due to population growth have placed another significant barrier preventing the effective\, sustainable\, and adaptive operation of the existing reservoir and lake systems. Therefore\, new technologies and innovations are critically needed to improve the existing reservoir and lake operation and management\, i.e.\, the “status quo”\, of built water systems in our nation.\n\nIn support of adaptive reservoir operation\, in this talk\, Dr. Tiantian Yang will present his current research on enhancing streamflow prediction at subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) timescales by improving precipitation forecasts and hydrologic simulations through the integration of physical hydrologic models and physically-aware artificial intelligence and deep learning (AI/DL) tools. These hybrid models aim to retain the interpretability and physical consistency of traditional models while leveraging the pattern recognition and scalability of AI/DL. Case studies will demonstrate how these hybrid AI/DL models perform in forecasting flood events across hundreds of watersheds over CONUS\, and how the precipitation could be better predicted at the S2S scale using existing seasonal forecast models\n\nAbout the speaker:  Dr. Tiantian Yang is currently a tenured associate professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) at the University of Michigan (UM) at Ann Arbor. Before joining UM\, Dr. Yang was a tenured faculty in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science (CEES) at the University of Oklahoma (OU). He was the associate director of the OU Hydrology & Water Security online master’s degree program at OU. Before becoming a faculty member in OU and UM\, Dr. Yang worked in the private sector for a few years in Deltares Netherlands\, whose former was Delft Hydraulics and GeoDelft University. During his time in the private sector and consulting world\, Dr. Yang served many U.S. federal agencies as clients\, including Bonneville Power Administration\, Tennessee Valley Authority\, and the National Weather Service and its 13 River Forecast Centers. Dr. Yang was an AGU Hydrology Section Early Career Awardee (2025)\, and also an NSF Early Career Awardee (2023).\n\nDr.Yang obtained his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of California\, Irvine (UC Irvine) in 2015\, mentored by NAE and Distinguished Professor Dr. Soroosh Sorooshian. Yang’s master’s degree was in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UC Irvine (2010). His bachelor’s degree was also in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Tsinghua University\, China (2009). Yang’s work is mainly supported by the NSF\, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation\, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)\, DoD Engineering With Nature (EWN)\, the American Council for Education (ACE)’s International Partnership Program\, NOAA\, and the DOE’s Clean Energy Research Center on Water-Energy Technology (CERC-WET) Program.\n\nFollowing the seminar there will be a lunch with the speaker and Great Lakes related trivia.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | When Self-Empowerment Goes South (or East\, More Precisely): Gender\, Neoliberalism\, and Romance Fraud in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in East Hall 4448 and virtually on Zoom. If you are attending in person\, we recommend entering East Hall using the Church Street entrance and taking the elevator to the 4th floor. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/rwr6E.\n\nBuilding on scholarship on changing gender and intimacy norms under neoliberalism in Japan\, this lecture explores how these transformations are reflected in the realm of romance fraud. Drawing on two contrasting sets of empirical material—interviews with romance fraud victims and publications and interviews with followers and supporters of the fraudster ‘Ririchan the Grantee Gal’—the lecture argues that these seemingly disparate groups are connected by a common underlying dynamic: women's struggle for autonomy and/or recognition within a gendered social hierarchy. It examines how aspirations for self-empowerment and liberation\, often intensified by neoliberal ideals of personal responsibility and self-realization\, can paradoxically lead individuals towards both victimization and offending.\n\nDr. Yutaka Yoshida is a lecturer in criminology at Cardiff University. His research explores romance fraud victimization\, digital vigilantism\, and far-right movements in Japan\, with a particular interest in narratives\, identity\, and technology-mediated social harms. His current work examines how romance fraud victims make sense of their experiences and reconstruct their lives in the aftermath of victimization\, drawing on psychosocial approaches.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Sophia Luo (Biostatistics)
DESCRIPTION:Tool Link:  https://github.com/lutiffan/methylModes\n\nAbstract\nMethylModes is an R package and Shiny application to identify multimodal distributions in human DNA methylation at individual CpG sites. Multimodal distributions\, which can be the result of nearby genetic variation\, environmental exposures or assay artifacts\, are susceptible to confounding and important to identify for methylation analysis. We developed MethylModes to robustly identify multimodality in beta value distributions using an intuitive algorithm that avoids stringent modeling assumptions. MethylModes is easily incorporated into existing quality control pipelines of array-based DNA methylation data.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: Twists & turns of our unexpected journey into lipid biology
DESCRIPTION:Over the past three decades\, the Han lab has made a number of changes/additions in research directions\, often into fields that were foreign to them. Thanks to the adventurous tendencies of trainees\, most of the new projects generated breakthrough findings and trained future scientists. Highly interdisciplinary approaches and multiple model organisms have been used in these studies. In this seminar\, Han will recount the initiation and the key moments of the lab's studies in the lipid field\, which exemplify both the fun and aggravation associated with stepping into a new research field.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Rethink and Redesign Assessment for the GenAI Era
DESCRIPTION:You’ve established syllabus policies and had conversations with your students about Generative AI\, but how do you adapt your assessment strategies to ensure that you can evaluate their learning?  We know standard essay prompts\, quick-answer quizzes\, assignments\, and even discussion posts can be easily completed by AI. This workshop focuses on evaluating the “offload-ability” of your assessments and identifying opportunities for AI integration\, mitigation\, or resistance. Join us to dig deeper into strategies for developing authentic assessments that shift the focus from products to processes that incorporate human-centered tasks in student learning.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Strength-focused suicide prevention: Building evidence for innovation in partnership with Indigenous communities
DESCRIPTION:Suicide is an extreme act\, not a mental health disorder\, which disproportionately impacts marginalized groups. In the U.S.\, most prevention focuses mainly on psychological distress\, ignoring the patterns that emerge when considering the larger context of that tragic action. For Alaskan Native (AN) communities\, youth suicide is a striking health inequity that arose within the past century\, as colonization interrupted protective cultural resources and practices that shaped young people’s lives. Informed by decades of work with AN people\, the presentation features studies from the Research to Practice Lab at ISR’s Research Center for Group Dynamics that illustrate a broader scope of suicide prevention interventions. These projects focus on family and community strengths\, build onto local resources\, and share evidence-based research and practices that participants can use on their own terms to reduce suicide risk and promote wellbeing. Highlighting innovation in both focus and outcome measurement\, the interactive talk aims to generate questions\, dialogue and ideas for addressing the complex issue of suicide.
