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\u2019ve 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 \u201923) and Erin McKenna (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA \u201920) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920) and Nathan Byrne (MFA \u201921)\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\u2019s famous \u201crock\u201d 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\u2019s, 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 \u201cFordite\u201d (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called \u2018Detroit agate\u2019), 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 \u201ccommons,\u201d 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.

In this talk, I will describe two approaches we are pursuing to generate fast and high-fidelity remote entanglement. In the first approach, we have demonstrated a photonic interconnect based on high-fidelity entanglement of the metastable nuclear spin-1\/2 qubit in ytterbium-171 and a telecom-band photon with time-bin encoding. We have realized an atom-photon Bell state fidelity of 0.95 when correcting for atomic measurement errors. As an extension of this work, I will describe a second system based on ytterbium-171 atom arrays in a near-concentric optical cavity. We anticipate the ability to generate atom-atom Bell pairs with fidelity approaching 0.99 and rate of 10^4 ebits\/sec using this telecom photonic interface. In the second approach, I will introduce a novel technique for transporting large tweezer arrays over 200 mm within a single vacuum chamber via a microscope objective mounted on an air-bearing linear motion stage. I will describe our vision for modular quantum computation based on an array of atom arrays.\r\n\r\nBio: Prof. Covey\u2019s research utilizes arrays of individually controlled neutral alkaline-earth atoms in optical tweezers to engineer many-body entangled states. Applications of interest include distributed quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum-enhanced metrology with atomic array optical clocks.

generate complex, adaptive, hierarchical structures via emergent interactions are transforming materials science. Active colloids in nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) are exciting vehicles for such bio-inspired materials manipulation. Isotropic spherical colloids with rotational motion controlled by external magnetic fields swim effectively. The complex rheology of NLCs propels the colloids, generating translation from rotation. Hybrid colloids generate companion topological defects that form far-from-equilibrium topological flagella that power colloidal swimming. Non-equilibrium disclination lines serve as topological filaments that interact with nematic swimmers, providing reconfigurable sites for assembly in the domain. Swimming spheres trapped on these filaments act like molecular motors to reconfigure these structures. We are developing fundamental understanding of these transient, far-from-equilibrium interactions to exploit them as a new class of functional structures that generate new modalities of motion and interaction. Progress in understanding nematic colloid swimming, topological flagellar propulsion, swimmer-filament interactions, and in harnessing these effects to entrain, transport, release and deliver diverse colloidal building blocks is described.\r\n\r\nSPEAKER BIO:\r\nKathleen J.
