SUMMARY:Exhibition:By Means of a Pencil
DESCRIPTION:October 9 – November 5\, 2025\nOpening Reception October 9\, 5:00-8:00 pm\nClosing Reception: November 2\, 2:00-5:00 pm\n\nThe U-M Duderstadt Center Gallery presents By Means of a Pencil a solo exhibition by artist and Stamps School of Art & Design LEO Lecturer I Nathan Byrne.\n\nBy Means of a Pencil brings together a body of work centered around the quirky and enigmatic Swiss author Robert Walser. In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s  mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able  to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Measuring the Hubble Constant Without the Sound Horizon: A New Constraint from DESI
DESCRIPTION:The Hubble tension\, recently surpassing the 6σ level\, increasingly presents a challenge to the ΛCDM model. A key question is whether this tension stems from our use of the sound horizon as a standard ruler. In this talk\, I will present a new\, sub-2% measurement of the Hubble constant (H₀) that is independent of the sound horizon scale\, using data from the first data release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). The analysis employs a power spectrum rescaling technique that marginalizes over the sound horizon information\, drawing instead on the matter-radiation equality scale as a standard ruler. Combining DESI’s full-shape galaxy clustering with uncalibrated post-reconstruction BAO and the CMB acoustic scale θ*\, along with various external sound horizon-free datasets\, results in highly robust constraints that are among the most precise to date from LSS. Looking ahead\, this measurement offers a new window on beyond-ΛCDM physics and the physical origin of the Hubble tension.
