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:American Institutions Group
DESCRIPTION:The American Institutions Group (AIG) is a Rackham interdisciplinary workshop for faculty and graduate students that meets twice a month to discuss recent and forthcoming research on American political institutions (e.g. Congress\, the presidency\, state legislatures and executives\, the courts\, and the bureaucracy). Our key goals are to offer new and varied perspectives for graduate students to harness in their own dissertation work on American political institutions\; encourage conversations that breed new research ideas\; and spur innovative collaborations among our participants. AIG participants are scholars in political science\, public health\, social work\, public policy\, and economics interested in examinations of American political institutions from the perspective of these disciplines.\n\nFaculty Coordinators: Charles R.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Excavations at Hatun Machay: Documenting Mobile Forager Technological Adaptations at a High Altitude Rockshelter in the North-Central Peruvian Andes
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, I present the results of excavations and artifact analyses focused on the site of Hatun Machay\, a shelter located in the high puna of Ancash\, Peru. The high-altitude puna of the Andes is a unique ecological region\, historically considered “marginal” for forager occupation on account of hypoxic conditions\, intense solar radiation\, difficult terrain\, and relatively sparse resources (Aldenderfer 1998). Nonetheless\, the region has yielded significant archaeological data that not only attest to a substantial human presence\, but also showcase remarkable human adaptability including surprisingly early occupation of high altitudes (Rademaker et al. 2014\; Rademaker and Moore 2018). This site presents a unique lens to understand human responses to dynamic environmental conditions\, with ~12\,000 years of occupation by humans from at least the Early Holocene into the present. In this talk\, I discuss findings from the 2024 and 2025 excavations of the site\, linking material evidence to regional-scale environmental conditions during the Holocene.
