SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Construction and Political Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Nicholas G. Blackwell\, Assistant Professor of Classical Studies\, Indiana University\, Bloomington\n\nExactly how Mycenae and Tiryns interacted during the Late Bronze Age has intrigued scholars and the public alike ever since Heinrich Schliemann excavated both citadels in the late nineteenth century. Because preserved Linear B records from the Argolid are sparse\, the region’s administrative and hierarchical organization remains uncertain\, and debates about political structures—both within the Argolid and across the Mycenaean world—persist. The close proximity of these two major palatial centers is especially challenging to explain. Were they independent rivals\, part of a localized Argolid kingdom dominated by one site\, or integrated elements of a single Mycenaean polity spanning the Aegean?\n\nThis talk approaches these questions from a stoneworking and architectural perspective\, focusing on evidence from the late fourteenth and thirteenth centuries BCE. I argue that distinct technological and stoneworking parallels between the sites point to episodes of meaningful collaboration. Moreover\, I propose that this craft—and likely political—relationship evolved over time. Although Mycenae is often assumed to have asserted regional hegemony by the early fourteenth century\, unequivocal evidence for its direct involvement in construction at Tiryns appears only by the mid-thirteenth century. This development coincides with major architectural changes at Mycenae that signal sociopolitical transformations at the site and potentially across the region. My analysis offers a fresh perspective on the shifting dynamics of the Argolid at the height of Mycenaean power.\n\nNicholas G. Blackwell is Assistant Professor of Classical Studies at Indiana University\, Bloomington. His research investigates the archaeology\, art\, and architecture of Greece and the eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze Age\, with particular emphasis on stoneworking\, tools\, metallurgy\, technology\, and cross-cultural exchange. He is the author of the forthcoming book Architecture and Politics in Mycenaean Greece: Stoneworking\, Labor\, and Political Ties in the Late Bronze Age (Cambridge University Press\, 2026).\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) Lectures are free and open to the public. This event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided at 5:30 PM\, with the lecture starting at 6:00 PM.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Rick Lowe
DESCRIPTION:\n\nRick Lowe is an American artist who pairs paintings\, drawings\, and installations with collaborative\, community-based projects developed in the tradition of Joseph Beuys’ concept of “social sculpture.” Working closely with individuals and communities\, he has identified many ways to harness creativity to address concerns around equity and justice. Beginning with his co-founding of Project Row Houses (1993–2008) in Houston’s Third Ward and continuing through other initiatives across the United States and internationally\, Lowe aims to catalyze sustainable change to promote understanding\, equity\, and justice.\n\nIn his studio-based practice\, Lowe combines painting and collage to develop works—often at an expansive scale—that take an exploratory approach to geography and abstraction. Inspired in part by patterns of domino games that he plays to engage with community members worldwide\, he notes correspondences between the dense\, layered arrangements of domino tiles and maps of urban districts. The vibrant paintings that emerge suggest cartographic configurations and transformations of civic structures and relationships over time.\n\nBorn in Russell County\, Alabama\, Lowe lives and works in Houston. Since 2016\, he has taught at the University of Houston’s College of the Arts as a professor of interdisciplinary practice. Among his many honors\, he received the Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities in 2002\, was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2014\, and was the Roy Lichtenstein Artist in Residence at the American Academy in Rome in 2024.\n\nLowe has been working as part of the U-M Arts Initiative’s Creators on Campus program as artist in residence with the Institute for Social Research (ISR) over the last two years\, collaborating with students and researchers in preparation for his upcoming exhibition at UMMA. The exhibition\, featuring his ongoing project\, Black Wall Street Journey\, will open in August 2026.\n\nPresented in partnership with the Institute for Social Research\, Arts Initiative\, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\n\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.\n
