SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Between Sculpture and the City: A Conversation between Vladimir Novak and Nick Tobier
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTuesday\, March 31\, 1:00 PM (EDT) / 7:00 PM (CET) / 6:00 PM (WET)\n\nNick Tobier + Zagreb based sculptor Vladimir Novak\, winner of the 2025 Radoslav Putar Award\, will discuss Novak’s work that mines our relationships between city space and sculptural space\, both site-specifically and generally. The discussion will focus on a number of his projects\, such as transforming the tall skinny volume of a former light bulb testing facility in Croatia’s capital into a sonic and auditory beacon\, which plays back the tempos of daily life\; or Novak’s installations and objects that challenge our assumptions of weight\, mass\, and the roles of spectators. Through material with specific associations of weight and mass – from monumental steel and straw constructions to working with light and space – Vladimir Novak’s practice engages contemporary dialogues on the roles of performances without performers\, coincidental audiences\, and performances by audiences.\n\nThis program will be streamed online via Zoom at this link. This virtual talk will also be live-streamed at RU’s space at 360 Court Street\, Brooklyn\, NY for visitors who wish to attend in person.\n\nVladimir Novak is the recipient of the 2025 Radoslav Putar Award. Vladimir Novak is a Zagreb-based artist whose practice investigates the limits of sculpture as a medium through the use of objects\, (day)light\, and sound installations\, with a particular focus on space\, media\, and affective intensities. Through iterative processes\, he seeks to dismantle established media boundaries by exploring the visible and the invisible\, engaging with concepts such as body–mass\, object–installation\, stasis–movement\, and light–shadow. His recent projects In Visible\, Calm\, and Day for a Day\, employ radically minimalist and subtle interventions that emphasize processuality and the entanglement of artworks with natural and urban rhythms\, their transformation across media\, and their physical and socio-ecological resonances. Operating at the threshold of perception\, within the ambivalence between malfunction and artistic act\, his work challenges the perceptions of time and attention\, questioning the boundary between aesthetic experience and banal everyday events.\n\nNick Tobier studied history\, sculpture and landscape architecture\, and has worked at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia\, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and Storefront for Art & Architecture in NYC\, and as a designer with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation/ Bronx Division. Nick’s focus as artist-designer-educator is on the social lives of public places\, both in built structures and events\, from bus stops to kitchens and boulevards. His work is part of the 2025 Venice Biennial\, the 2024 Split Biennial\, and has been seen at the Smithsonian\, The Queens Museum\, NY\, The Mattress Factory\, Pittsburgh\, the Prague Quadrennial\, the London Festival of Games at Somerset House in London\, and upcoming projects at KRAK Center for Contemporary Art in Bihać\, Bosnia. Nick has received support for his work from the NEA \, The Graham Foundation for the Advanced Study of Visual Art and the Harpo Foundation\, and writes for the Trieste-based magazine Juliet on artists\, galleries\, and cultural centers in Bosnia\, Croatia\, and Serbia.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Misspecification-Averse Estimation
DESCRIPTION:We study optimal estimation when the likelihood may be misspecified.  Building on tools from the theory of decision-making under uncertainty\, we analyze a class of axiomatically grounded optimality criteria which nests several existing misspecification-robust objectives. Within this class\, we introduce the constrained multiplier criterion\, which allows for flexible misspecification attitudes. We prove a local asymptotic minimax theorem for this criterion\, extending a classical efficiency bound to a limit experiment which incorporates both misspecification concerns and moment constraints. We characterize asymptotically optimal estimators as Bayes decision rules under a flat prior and an exponentially tilted likelihood that incorporates the moment constraints\, and show that feasible plug-in analogs are asymptotically optimal.

SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Lenhart\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Graduate student Adam Lenhart performs on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.
