Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: The Exhibition "Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines" at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in New Bedford presents three very different, yet highly compatible women artists. While each of them uses strong, intense colors and the layering of various elements and lines, each artist's work is best described by one of the three words in the exhibition title. However, the almost psychedelic interpretation of colors in Friese's landscapes, the inclusion of photography or other unusual materials in Mandle's critical narratives and the underlying geometry and references to female imagery in Thorton's flowers all share an affinity towards abstraction while inspiring visitors to look closer to discover their inner logic.

IEEE Oceanic Engineering Seminar at UMass Dartmouth Speaker: Dr. Jules Jaffe
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Cost: free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: PROVIDENCE CHAPTER OF THE IEEE OCEANIC ENGINEERING SOCIETY
AND UMASS DARTMOUTH STUDENT IEEE CHAPTER
Jointly Sponsored Seminar
Topic: From Swarms of Miniature Vehicles to Diver Deployed Microscopes and Low Light Level Radiometers: A Next Generation of Ocean Sensing Systems to Help Monitor the Planet Under Man-Made Stress
Speaker: Dr. Jules Jaffe, Research Oceanographer, Marine Physical Lab, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society Distinguished Lecturer
Location: Library LIB-207 Lecture Hall
Abstract:
Dr. Jaffe will describe a variety of engineering accomplishments that his lab has achieved over the last several decades. In all cases, design, construction, deployment, and analysis has been the model. Looking at just the last five years, his group has built the first hand held, diver deployed microscope that has yielded some fascinating videos of in situ coral wars, the development and first quantitative measurements of deep sea light, and the deployment of a swarm of miniature vehicles for mapping both space and time over sub kilometer scales. These, and other projects will be described as well as environmental challenges for the next generation of ocean-minded engineers that loom as ecosystems under man-made stress need to be monitored for custodianship of the planet.
Biography:
Dr. Jules S. Jaffe is a Research Oceanographer in the Marine Physical Lab at the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, UCSD, in La Jolla, CA where he has been since 1988. Prior to this he was an Assistant ('84') and Associate ('88') Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Dr. Jaffe holds an undergraduate degree from SUNY Buffalo in physics, a Masters Degree in Biomedical Information Science from The Georgia Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in Biophysics. After graduating from Cal, Dr. Jaffe spent several years in Silicon Valley as an Image Processing Consultant. Dr. Jaffe's research program is mainly concerned with developing underwater instruments in order to infer the biological and physical properties of the upper ocean. Dr. Jaffe is a recipient of a National Science Foundation Creativity Award (1992), is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America (2002), was an H. Burr Steinbach Visiting Scholar at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (2003) and a Visiting Miller Professor at UC Berkeley (2006). He is currently an Associate Editor for both the IEEE Journal of Ocean Engineering and Limnology and Oceanography Methods. He has published over 100 articles in journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings. His web site is http://jaffweb.ucsd.edu.
The Seminar is open to the public free of charge.

Formidable: Site Specific Installation by Kat Knutsen
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free admission.
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: College of Visual & Performing Arts (CVPA) presents a new site-specific installation by recent MFA graduate Kat Knutsen, entitled "Formidable" through November 12, 2015.
After receiving her MFA in painting at UMass Dartmouth in 2014, Kat Knutsen (born 1984) began an artist residency at CVPA's Star Store Campus focusing on combining fiber arts and painting in her animations. Her work has since evolved towards installations that combine fiber art, painting, sculpture and music.
As she says, "I keep an open mind with the materials I work with and explore the relationships between them. At the moment, my work is a conversation between the two-dimensional, three-dimensional and sound. 'Formidable' is a culmination of my experiences since I arrived in New Bedford in 2012. For me, the object of the jellyfish symbolizes the need to quickly adapt in the changing art world. The challenge of creating a dialogue between the textile objects, painting and music in this site-specific installation parallels my journey in building a career as a young artist today."
