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.

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":"140228-21886785@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":["Art","Arts Initiative","Exhibition","Visual Arts"], "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 } , "141285-21888538": { "datetime_modified":"20251120T063154", "datetime_start":"20251105T120000", "datetime_end":"20251105T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-05", "date_end":"2025-11-05", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Constructive Dissent: How to Disagree with your Boss", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Constructive Dissent: How to Disagree with your Boss", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Careers \/ Jobs", "event_type_id":"2", "description":"Join us for our final handshake event of the year, where we delve into the art of professional disagreement.

A key question is whether this tension stems from our use of the sound horizon as a standard ruler. In this talk, I will present a new, sub-2% measurement of the Hubble constant (H\u2080) that is independent of the sound horizon scale, using data from the first data release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). The analysis employs a power spectrum rescaling technique that marginalizes over the sound horizon information, drawing instead on the matter-radiation equality scale as a standard ruler. Combining DESI\u2019s full-shape galaxy clustering with uncalibrated post-reconstruction BAO and the CMB acoustic scale \u03b8*, along with various external sound horizon-free datasets, results in highly robust constraints that are among the most precise to date from LSS. Looking ahead, this measurement offers a new window on beyond-\u039bCDM physics and the physical origin of the Hubble tension.", "occurrence_notes":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics", "guid":"141618-21889092@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/141618", "building_id":"1000208", "building_name":"Randall Laboratory", "campus_maps_id":"133", "room":"3246 (Fishbowl)", "location_name":"Randall Laboratory", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Astronomy","Physics"], "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/lctp\/news-events\/all-events\/seminars\/cosmology---astrophysics-seminars.html", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics Cosmology Astrophysics Seminars", "group_id":"5046", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics Seminars", "group_id":"4311", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics", "group_id":"4312", "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":21889092 } , "137882-21881022": { "datetime_modified":"20250904T085750", "datetime_start":"20251105T120000", "datetime_end":"20251105T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-05", "date_end":"2025-11-05", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"DAAS Faculty Forum", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"DAAS Faculty Forum: DAAS@55", "event_subtitle":"DAAS@55", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"In the spirit of creating stronger departmental connections, DAAS is presenting a faculty forum in honor of DAAS's 55th anniversary.
