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 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA \u201920) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 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.

While complex systems are often modeled through underlying interaction networks or hypergraphs, the relationship between structure and dynamics is not direct: different analytical frameworks reveal different structural projections.\n\nFirst, we study the inverse problem of reconstructing higher-order interaction structure from pairwise observations. We show that such reconstruction is fundamentally non-unique, establishing intrinsic limitations on structural inference from graph data.\n\nNext, we analyze network dynamical systems on graphs and show that, in the linear regime, structural effects are mediated through coupling operators and their associated spectral and degree-based representations. We further identify intrinsic obstructions to coupling-induced stabilization.\n\nFinally, extending these ideas to reaction\u2013diffusion systems on directed hypergraphs, we develop a weakly nonlinear reduction framework for pattern formation near bifurcation. We show that the resulting nonlinear dynamics depend not on the full higher-order interaction structure, but on specific projected quantities, termed packing contributions, which govern pattern selection and saturation. This leads to a characterization of the notion of dynamical graph surrogacy, under which higher-order interactions become dynamically indistinguishable from pairwise ones.\n\nTaken together, these results show that structural effects are fundamentally analysis-dependent and provide a unified perspective on the limits of structural inference and the role of higher-order interactions in complex dynamical systems.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148299-21903824@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148299", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"3088", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":1, "livestream_type":"zoom", "livetream_require_login":0, "livestream_id":"97810072630", "livestream_link":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/97810072630", "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation","Graduate","Graduate Students","Mathematics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148299_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21903824 } , "142913-21891804": { "datetime_modified":"20251218T140448", "datetime_start":"20260603T120000", "datetime_end":"20260603T124500", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-06-03", "date_end":"2026-06-03", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"12:45:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"\"A Breath of Fresh Air\" Guided Nature Experience--June", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"\"A Breath of Fresh Air\" Guided Nature Experience--June: Connect with Nature to Support Your Mental Well-being on June 3", "event_subtitle":"Connect with Nature to Support Your Mental Well-being on June 3", "event_type":"Well-being", "event_type_id":"12", "description":"Join fellow staff, students, and faculty for an energizing break which will introduce the positive effects of being in nature on our social and emotional well-being.

At the Simons Observatory, a CMB research facility located in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, we are measuring this light with extraordinary sensitivity in order to investigate these science goals. The observatory\u2019s three 0.42 m small-aperture telescopes are searching for signs of cosmic inflation, while its 6 m large-aperture telescope is investigating a number of probes ranging from bounding the sum of the masses of neutrinos to searching for Solar System objects. This talk will discuss how the CMB\u2019s rich science content has motivated the design of the Simons Observatory. It will then introduce the microwave frequency multiplexing system for the telescopes, which allows for low-noise readout of the roughly 100,000 superconducting transition-edge sensors which have been deployed across the observatory\u2019s instruments to enable their cutting-edge sensitivity. The talk will also present studies of systematic signal contaminants in the observatory\u2019s data and associated mitigation strategies, before showing work towards early weak lensing reconstruction results from the telescope\u2019s first phase of operations.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148474-21904351@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148474", "building_id":"1000208", "building_name":"Randall Laboratory", "campus_maps_id":"133", "room":"3246 Neal Lab", "location_name":"Randall Laboratory", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Astronomy","Faculty","Graduate Students","Physics","Undergraduate Students"], "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/physics", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21904351 } , "148371-21904042": { "datetime_modified":"20260521T112555", "datetime_start":"20260603T120000", "datetime_end":"20260603T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-06-03", "date_end":"2026-06-03", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Up, Up, And Away: A History of Ballooning in America", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Up, Up, And Away: A History of Ballooning in America", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"This exhibit examines the history of balloon flight in the United States from Blanchard\u2019s first ascension to the early twentieth century. In the age of bird\u2019s-eye views, which imagined a perspective on American cities and towns from high in the air, balloonists were the only people who actually had the opportunity to see what the growing nation looked like from above. As the nineteenth century progressed, ballooning became a lucrative (if dangerous) business, as crowds gathered to watch balloons launch, and to see aeronauts risk their lives high in the air. Over time, the image of the hot air balloon proliferated in American print culture, being used to sell goods ranging from thread to canned beef. We hope that this exhibit conveys some of the thrill that would have come from seeing people fly for the first time.\n\nOn view May 22-August 28, weekdays from 12-4 pm.", "occurrence_notes":"Arrive at our North Entrance to check-in.
