Studios, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator, MFA \u201920) and Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920); and Sometimes Space, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I, MFA \u201921). 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:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 3 \nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138033-21881327@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138033", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Stamps Gallery, 201 South Division Street Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art"], "website":"https:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/events\/the-stamps-gallery-pillar-project-fore-site-phase-three", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":53, "first_occurrence":21881327 } , "148001-21902701": { "datetime_modified":"20260429T110903", "datetime_start":"20260513T120000", "datetime_end":"20260513T180000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-13", "date_end":"2026-05-13", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"18:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Elsa Olander - Becoming: My Journey Through Stamps", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Elsa Olander - Becoming: My Journey Through Stamps", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Becoming is the senior thesis project of Stamps School of Art & Design student Elsa Olander. It is a multidisciplinary exhibition that traces her artistic evolution from high school student in Kenya to graduating college senior in the U.S. It explores personal growth through material experimentation, identity formation, and cultural hybridity. The work features 2-D, 3-D, and 4-D work; each piece serving as a visual artifact of transformation.\n\nBecoming isn\u2019t about arriving. It\u2019s about highlighting the moments that get us there. The doubt, discovery, and growth that shape who we are. It\u2019s a reminder to learn from the past and plan for the future, but most importantly to live in the present. We become who we are not just through all the choices we make, but through the people we surround ourselves with, the information we take-in, and what we choose to believe or question.\n\n\u201cThis exhibition is about my growth and process, but it\u2019s not singular. Many of my family members, including my mother, aren\u2019t able to attend my graduation due to the ongoing visa ban affecting several African countries. This show is my way of honoring their presence in my life, acknowledging where I\u2019ve come from, and sharing my journey with those who may not be able to witness it in person. My hope is that viewers see these works not just as a portrait of my evolution, but as an invitation to reflect, relate, and reimagine their own paths of becoming.\u201d \n-Elsa Olander\n\nBecoming: My Journey Through Stamps\n\ufeff\ufeffExhibition Dates: April 30 \u2013 May 22, 2026\n\ufeff\ufeffOpening Reception: Thursday, April 30, 5:30 \u2013 8 p.m. (RSVP Recommended)\n\ufeff\ufeffDuderstadt Center Gallery", "occurrence_notes":"Hours: Tue-Fri, Noon-6 pm; Sunday Noon-6 pm", "guid":"148001-21902701@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148001", "building_id":"1000396", "building_name":"Duderstadt Center", "campus_maps_id":"181", "room":"Gallery, Rm. 1019 Duderstadt Center", "location_name":"Duderstadt Center", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Exhibition","Art And Design","Art","Africa"], "website":"https:\/\/luma.com\/zwz6t3lc", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" }, { "group_name":"Duderstadt Center", "group_id":"4245", "website":"http:\/\/dc.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_148001_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":15, "first_occurrence":21902688 } }
