While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\r\n\r\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab\u2014transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE, in its essence, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation, transformation, and discovery.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn constructing these works, Trevor employed a range of mediums, including acrylics, oils, metallic paints, tapes, and sprays, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes, such as the creation of grain orientation maps, material cutting, and oxidation, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\r\n\r\nUltimately, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds, demonstrating that, at their core, they are not so different\u2014both are dedicated to understanding, manipulating, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science, and vice versa, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed, but fluid and full of potential.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"133075-21872350@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/133075", "building_id":"1000442", "building_name":"Pierpont Commons", "campus_maps_id":"131", "room":"First Level Mezzanine Gallery Wall", "location_name":"Pierpont Commons", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Unions", "group_id":"2583", "website":"http:\/\/www.uunions.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/02\/event_133075_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":17, "first_occurrence":21872345 } , "133001-21872186": { "datetime_modified":"20250226T104926", "datetime_start":"20250301T090000", "datetime_end":"20250301T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-03-01", "date_end":"2025-03-01", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"RAW Exhibit", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"RAW Exhibit", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"\u201cRAW\u201d is a 2024 printmaking portfolio featuring 25 15\u201dx20\u201d works on paper by a diverse group of primarily student artists, organized by Professor Endi Poskovic of the Stamps Printmedia program.
