SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bryanne Gordon Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Click here to join via zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97057153103 (password is rhyolite)\n\nHigh-SiO2 (>75 wt%) rhyolites are the most differentiated silicate magmas on Earth and are relatively scarce in the volcanic rock record\, especially at subduction zones. This scarcity may be due to their narrow (<50°C) liquidus-solidus interval\, which promotes extensive crystallization over small drops in temperature\, preventing eruption. However\, high-SiO2 rhyolites do erupt\, sometimes in supervolcano quantities (≤1000 km 3 )\, in regions of continental extension (e.g.\, Yellowstone\, WY and Long Valley\, CA). Therefore\, understanding the magmatic architecture (i.e.\, temperature/pressure prior to eruption) and/or processes that enable successful eruption of high-SiO2 rhyolite are critical to investigate.\n\nOne of the greatest challenges in studying high-SiO2 rhyolites is the paucity of mineral- melt thermometers\, barometers and hygrometers that can be accurately applied to them. This leads to conflicting results when thermometers and hygrometers calibrated on different magma compositions are applied to high-SiO2 rhyolites. Also\, it is often not possible to use one of the only reliable thermometers\, which is based on the equilibrium between two Fe-Ti oxides\, because of post-eruptive alteration. In Chapter 2\, a new biotite-melt thermometer is presented. New biotite-melt equilibrium experiments were conducted on high-SiO2 rhyolite between 675-800 °C and P H2O = 225-125 MPa. These experimental data were combined with biotite analyses in natural high-SiO2 rhyolites\, for which high-quality Fe-Ti two-oxide temperatures are available (660-800 °C)\, to calibrate the new thermometer. It was successfully deployed on four Jurassic high-SiO2 rhyolite dikes\, which contained pristine biotite\, demonstrating its utility on samples for which Fe-Ti two-oxide thermometry is not possible.\n\nIn Chapter 3\, the biotite-melt and Fe-Ti two-oxide thermometers were applied to a suite of high-SiO2 rhyolite domes and flows (from Glass Mountain\, CA)\, which preceded a climactic\, supervolcano eruption. A puzzling feature of these rhyolites is their highly variable phenocryst abundances (<1 to 20%)\, despite little change in their major-element compositions. One sample grew ~8% phenocrysts at a remarkably low temperature (660 ± 10 °C)\, which is below the water-saturated solidus at upper crustal conditions (≤300 MPa). Three hypotheses were tested to explain the variable phenocryst abundances: (1) they reflect equilibrium temperature\, pressure\, and melt H2O contents during crystal growth in magmatic reservoir(s)\, (2) the H2O-saturated granitic solidus is lower than previously documented\, or (3) rapid phenocryst growth\, following a kinetic delay to nucleation\, occurred during magma ascent. Based on new experiments\nconducted in this chapter\, along with documented phenocryst compositions and textures\, it shown that phenocrysts in the Glass Mountain high-SiO2 rhyolites grew during dike transport to the surface and not in a magma chamber.\n\nIn Chapter 4\, U-Pb zircon crystallization ages (162-169 Ma) were obtained on a high-SiO2 rhyolite dike swarm in the Sierra Nevada\, CA\, which dates an episode of extension within the long-lived Mesozoic arc. These results are unexpected for two reasons: (1) this age range overlaps a magmatic flare-up Sierra Nevada arc (145-175 Ma)\, and (2) they differ from\npreviously published K-Ar ages for these dikes (168-209 Ma)\, which overlaps a lull in Sierran arc magmatism. However\, the zircon ages for the dike swarm directly overlap the age (160-170 Ma) of the Coast Range Ophiolites\, which formed in the forearc region due to trench-parallel spreading. This may have induced shearing and extension in the main Sierran arc.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through November 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-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 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.
