The SEC aims to create new and exciting opportunities for undergrads to develop their skills in exhibition-making and installations. \nExhibition Statement\nIn the midst of contemporary chaos there is a quieter, more isolated struggle to find meaning. As we pursue consistency within our own art making practices, we must nurture our yearnings for a sustainable community. Fleeting connections can be found in the in-betweens of time and space\u2014cooking with others, commuting, etc.\nThe Eye of the Storm is an exhibition demonstrating various forms of individual and collective peacemaking and resistance. This show explores the ways we use creative rituals within the private and public spheres: exploring self identity, advocating for justice, fostering care for others and social bonding. The selected artworks reflect each artist's way of staying in motion and\/or finding calm amidst complicated or difficult times. \nThis exhibition is organized and juried by SEC student curators Hana Ichikawa, BFA '26 (lead); Urvi Joshi, BA '26; Elsie Rogers, BFA '27; Jacqueline Vinson, BFA '27; and Maggie Watson, BFA '26. \nThe Eye of the Storm will be on display in the Stamps Gallery atrium from October 17 - November 1, 2025, and features work by the following Stamps students:\nSage Booth, BFA '28Rachel DeVeyra, BFA '26McKenna Finn, BA '26Reese Ford, BFA '26Abigail Garcia, BFA '27Erin Malone, BFA '27Summer Mansi, BFA '27Margaret (Mags) McKinney, BFA '28Ava Muntner, BFA '27Mia Noel, BFA '28Eliana Pettigrew, BFA '26Oliver Lee St Cyr, BFA '26Jesse Strohauer, BFA '28", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"137209-21879950@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/137209", "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\/student-exhibition-committee-sec-exhibition", "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_137209_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137209_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":10, "first_occurrence":21879950 } , "137113-21879729": { "datetime_modified":"20251003T181516", "datetime_start":"20251017T110000", "datetime_end":"20251017T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-17", "date_end":"2025-10-17", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Untold Stories, Part II: A Stamps Faculty Exhibition", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Untold Stories, Part II: A Stamps Faculty Exhibition", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Exhibition Dates: September 12 - December 13Opening Reception: September 18, 6:30-8:30 p.m.\nUntold Stories: Part II is the second in a series of three exhibitions featuring the work of faculty members from the Stamps School of Art & Design.

However, the dominant approach to studying socioacademic processes relies on the principles of methodological individualism, where socioacademic issues are studied at the individual level using methods that assume observations are independent. In this talk, we will describe two studies that use relational data, where students (e.g., in classrooms, in small teams) are modeled as social networks of agentic actors. In Study 1, we use social network theory to model teamwork processes in small engineering teams. In study 2, we use network analysis to study peer collaboration networks in a large, introductory STEM class. The talk will include a discussion of methodological and ethical issues, including challenges related to modeling sociodemographic characteristics, missing data, and social and emotional concerns, in social networks studies. We will also discuss future directions for engineering education research.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"140561-21887346@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/140561", "building_id":"1000396", "building_name":"Duderstadt Center", "campus_maps_id":"181", "room":"Presentation Room 1180 and Zoom", "location_name":"Duderstadt Center", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Research","Michigan Engineering","Industrial and Operations Engineering","Graduate","Engineering","Civil and Environmental Engineering","Biomedical Engineering"], "website":"https:\/\/eer.engin.umich.edu\/events-seminars\/upcoming-seminars\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Engineering Education Research", "group_id":"4059", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140561_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21887346 } , "138031-21881242": { "datetime_modified":"20251015T121513", "datetime_start":"20251017T110100", "datetime_end":"20251017T190000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-17", "date_end":"2025-10-17", "time_start":"11:01:00", "time_end":"19:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18, 6:30\u2009\u2013\u20098:30 p.m.\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 \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 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist\u2019s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting, organizing her photos of mushrooms, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols, denoting a capitalist world, filled with tender moments and connections, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms, lichen, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail, the work honors Ohio\u2019s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place, and community.\nArtist Statements\/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness, humor, beauty, pain, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create\u2014whether photographic or collage-based\u2014are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I\u2019ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core, my work explores the underworld of human experience, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking, filled with the pain, glory, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer, collage artist, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S., capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website \/ Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor, playful misuse, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens, she explores the space where necessity meets excess, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home\u2014a place of sawdust, chop saws, and improvisation\u2014instilled in her a respect for visible labor, inventive problem-solving, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries, stereotypes and associationsmisuse, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat, reiterate, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive, fantastic, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art & Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler, and makes quilts.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing, collage, and sculpture.\r\n\r\nFor years, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser\u2019s mark making which he referred to as his \u201cpencil method\u201d where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser\u2019s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer\u2019s cramp and: \u201chideously and frightfully hated his pen.\u201d He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: \u201cI suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.\u201d\r\n\r\nJust as it was with Walser \u201cby means of a pencil\u201d I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually, this became processes like my transcription drawings, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\r\n\r\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this \u201cworld of Walser.\u201d It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making, language and sculpture, language and longing.\r\n\r\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\r\n\r\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\r\n\r\nHours: 12 \u2013 6 pm, Tues. \u2013 Fri. & Sun.\r\n\r\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd, Ann Arbor, MI 48109", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"140228-21886766@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/140228", "building_id":"1000396", "building_name":"Duderstadt Center", "campus_maps_id":"181", "room":"Gallery 1019", "location_name":"Duderstadt Center", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Visual Arts","Exhibition","Arts Initiative","Art"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Duderstadt Center", "group_id":"4245", "website":"http:\/\/dc.umich.edu" }, { "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\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140228_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":20, "first_occurrence":21886758 } }
