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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What We Tend: The 2026 MFA Graduate Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWhat We Tend: The 2026 MFA Thesis Exhibition is on view at the Stamps Gallery from March 20 — April 11\, 2026. The exhibition presents seven artists whose practices unfold through care—care for land\, for bodies\, for memory\, and for one another. Working across ritual\, non-linear time\, and intersectional inquiries into labor and domestic life\, these artists treat familial\, site-specific\, and sociopolitical histories as living structures rather than sealed archives. What We Tend features the work of MFA students River Forest Berry\, Michelle Cieloszczyk\, Zoë Dong\, Fiona Hoffer\, Michael ​“Modius Modi” King Jr.\, Michaela Nichelle\, and Sujay Saple.\n\nJoin us to celebrate the work of MFA graduate students at the Opening Reception on March 20 from 6 — 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and artists will be present.\n\nPlease note: \n\nThroughout the exhibition\, visitors are encouraged to bring clean and empty aluminum cans to participate in Michaela Nichelle’s installation. \nThe exhibition will be closed to the public on Friday\, April 10.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Lynn Loo\, Princeton University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSingapore International shipping underpins the global economy\, moving roughly 90% of world trade by volume across highly integrated global supply chains. At the same time\, the sector emits about 1 Gt CO₂ annually\, or approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions\, with emissions projected to grow alongside trade. Decarbonising shipping is therefore not a peripheral challenge\, but a prerequisite for a net-zero future. Yet shipping’s decarbonisation remains uniquely difficult. Vessels have long operational lifetimes\, energy demand is high\, production of alternatives to fossil fuels remains nascent\, and their deployment must satisfy stringent safety\, operational\, and infrastructure constraints across a global system. In this seminar\, I will discuss the work of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD)\, an independent action tank based in Singapore established to accelerate progress through large-scale\, pre-competitive pilots. Over the past 4.5 years\, GCMD has worked with more than 130 partners across the maritime value chain to demonstrate the first safe transfer of 2\,700 metric tonnes of ammonia at anchorage in Western Australia\; bunker and trace 3\,400 metric tonnes of biofuels in Singapore and Rotterdam to strengthen supply-chain integrity\; execute the world’s first offloading of onboard-captured and liquefied CO₂ in China\, and subsequently demonstrate its use to recycle steel slag and produce precipitated calcium carbonate\; and launch a US$35 million fund featuring a pay-as-you-save mechanism to accelerate the adoption of energy-efficiency technologies. Insights from these pilots have informed investment decisions\, shaped policy discussions\, and contributed to emerging standards and guidelines. The seminar also reflects on my transition from two decades of nanoscale materials research\, spanning organic semiconductors and perovskite solar cells\, to system-level decarbonisation\, and on how my academic training has shaped my approach to tackling complex\, urgent\, real-world industry challenges.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nLynn Loo is the Theodora D. ’78 and William H. Walton III ’74 Professor of Engineering at Princeton University and the inaugural CEO of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD)\, an independent international action tank headquartered in Singapore that is working with industry to accelerate shipping’s transition to low- and zero-carbon solutions.\n\nTrained as a chemical engineer\, Lynn’s work spans fundamental materials science\, technology commercialization\, and systems-scale decarbonization. At Princeton\, her group pioneered see- through solar cells that wirelessly power smart windows to reduce building energy use and improve occupant comfort. This work received the 2020 Thomas Edison Patent Award and is being advanced through Andluca Technologies\, a startup she co-founded.\n\nAt GCMD\, she leads large-scale\, pre-competitive initiatives in real operational and commercial settings\, including the world’s first ship-to-ship transfer of ammonia at anchorage\, biofuel supply-chain trials\, the offloading and utilization of onboard captured and liquefied carbon dioxide\, and the launch of the sector’s first retrofit fund to catalyze uptake of energy-efficiency technologies. GCMD now works with over 130 industry partners globally. A Member of the National Academy of Engineering\, Lynn is a Fellow of AIChE\, APS\, and MRS\, and a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. She was also featured on Lloyd’s List’s Top 100 People in Shipping list for her influence on the industry’s transition.
