SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ballad for Rodney
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for the Humanities’ presentation of Cosmo Whyte’s* Ballad for Rodney* (2024) is organized as part of Whyte’s upcoming solo exhibition at the Stamps Gallery entitled *Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye*.\n\nThis “curtain painting” operates simultaneously as painting and sculpture\, inviting the viewer to physically engage with the surface\, passing through to another layer underneath. Named in reference to Rodney King\, the African American man who was a victim of police brutality in LA in 1991\, the kinetic artwork intends to bring into question the relationship between the body and the artwork. Through direct engagement with image and materiality\, it shifts one’s idea of an archive from a static memory to a lived embodied experience.\n\nAbout the artist\nCosmo Whyte (b. 1982\, St. Andrew\, Jamaica) is an interdisciplinary artist who employs drawing\, installation\, and sculpture to create conceptual work exploring interstitial subjectivity through an engagement with both intimate and public archives\, as well as Black spatiality and forms of resistance. He received his MFA from the University of Michigan. In 2022\, he joined the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture as an assistant professor.\n\n\nWhyte’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally\, including at MOCA Georgia\, Atlanta\, GA\; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL\; The High Museum of Art\, Atlanta\, GA\; The Drawing Center\, New York\, NY\; Atlanta Contemporary\, Atlanta\, GA\; Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris\, France\; and the National Gallery of Jamaica\, Kingston\, Jamaica\, among others. His work is in public museum collections including the High Museum\, Atlanta\, GA\; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL\; International African American Museum\, Charlotte\, NC\; MOCA Georgia\, Atlanta\, GA\; National Gallery of Jamaica\; Pérez Art Museum Miami\, among others. Whyte lives and works between Montego Bay\, Jamaica and Los Angeles\, CA.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Dissertation Defense Seminar> Ether Lipids Regulate Lysosomal Homeostasis
DESCRIPTION:Lysosomes are essential degradative and metabolic organelles that maintain cellular homeostasis through macromolecular turnover\, nutrient sensing\, and signaling. Lysosomal dysfunction underlies numerous human diseases\, including lysosomal storage disorders\, neurodegenerative diseases\, and cancers. However\, how lipid metabolism regulates lysosomal homeostasis remains poorly understood.\n\nHere\, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR screen in Mucolipidosis V (LYSET-deficient) cells and identified ether lipid synthesis as a key regulator of lysosomal homeostasis. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of ether lipid synthesis reduced lysosome accumulation and partially restored lysosomal degradative capacity. Mechanistically\, ether lipid reduction partially restored the maturation of a subset of lysosomal hydrolases and enhanced lysosomal exocytosis\, thereby promoting lysosomal substrate clearance. These findings uncover a previously unrecognized mechanism by which lipid metabolism regulates lysosomal homeostasis and suggest new therapeutic opportunities for lysosomal storage disorders.
