SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 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 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 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:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Kristen Fichthorn\, Penn State University
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nSimple\, inorganic atoms can arrange themselves in myriad ways\, both ordinary and extraordinary\, that have become the foundation of nanotechnology.  Unlocking the mysteries of metal nanocrystal growth and assembly has been a pursuit in our research for the past decade.  In this talk\, I will discuss our efforts to develop the theoretical capability to capture the intricacies of nanocrystal growth and our application of these methods to describe experimental mysteries.  \n\nI will discuss the profound and synergistic role of halides and organic capping agents in promoting facet-selective nanocrystal growth and selective assembly.  We use first-principles density-functional theory calculations\, along with auxiliary methods\, to demonstrate how halides affect surface diffusion and facet-specific nanocrystal interactions in multiple systems\, ranging from the growth of Cu nanowires and plates to the assembly of Au nanocrystals to the formation of hierarchical Pt nanocrystals via facet-selective aggregation.  Early in the growth process\, nanocrystals in the 1-2 nm size range are fluxional and we have used enhanced sampling methods\, originally developed to study biomolecules\, together with machine learning to uncover their structures and shape transformations and to learn useful information for catalysis.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Why Place Matters: The “Publicness” of the Lost Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at https://myumi.ch/P3Z9P.\n   \n   This lecture is based on Dr. Horikawa’s 41 years of intensive fieldwork\, chronicling a major movement that shaped preservation policy in Japan. It tries to provide a clear answer to the century-old question: why does place matter? Dr. Horikawa illustrates how the movement to preserve the Otaru Canal in Otaru\, Japan\, was neither conservative nor an obstacle\, demonstrating that preservation can allow for and even promote change.\n   \n   Saburo Horikawa is a professor of urban & environmental sociology at Hosei University in Tokyo\, and he received his Ph.D. from Keio University. He has won three major academic awards\, including one from the discipline of city planning\, for his book published by the University of Tokyo Press. The English edition of the book\, *Why Place Matters: A Sociological Study of the Historic Preservation Movement in Otaru\, Japan\, 1965–2017\,* was published by Springer and was reviewed in the *Journal of the American Planning Association.*\n   \n   Photo credit: The Rikisha in front of Old Mitsui Bank in Otaru\, Hokkaido\n   Copyright © 2015 by Saburo Horikawa.
