  • Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts
  • Location: University Art Gallery
  • Cost: free
  • Contact: University Art Gallery
  • Description: Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts Feb 7 - March 15, 2018 RECEPTION: Thursday, March 8, 6:00 - 9:00 pm; Artist Talk 7:30 pm Exhibition at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in Downtown New Bedford, "Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts" is centered around the 8' wide by 47' long artwork Moby-Dick, or The Whale. This mesmerizing large scale piece appears to be floating on the gallery floor and spilling off the wall, reflecting on the ocean nearby, the location for the Melville's famous novel. Pittsburgh based Diane Samuels who often uses text as a element in her visual vocabulary this time creates waves with her meticulous hand-transcriptions created using all of the 701 pages in the novel. Remnants of archival paper and drawings have been recycled and painted over and, in places, drawn and collaged using images that pertain to the specific text. Each page of the book (also exhibited at the gallery) is hand-written as a horizontal row of the drawing, starting with "Call me Ishmael" at the top of the artwork. Samuels chose Moby-Dick, or The Whale because of Melville's descriptions of confrontations with "the other" and his archiving and cataloguing of information about whales and the world. In Chapter Three, Ishmael and Queequeg share a room and a bed at the Spouter-Inn. Ishmael describes his terror in meeting Queequeg. Despite cultural, racial, and language differences, the chapter ends with Ishmael's statement, "I turned in, and never slept better in my life." Accompanying this installation is the compressed sound of the artist reading out loud and hand-transcribing each page, creating a layered "audio block"; a dense sound comprised of words and pages, along with the ambient sounds of the artist's studio. The audio block is the length of the longest page of the book. Other artworks also surprise visitors with their intricate hand-transcription in microscript. The Arabian Nights traces the stories told by Scheherazade over 10,000 fragments of papers painted in shades of indigo and crimson and edged in gold. The piece is a literal and figurative "magic carpet" whose central panel is bathed in the blood of the book's unfortunate heroines and cloaked in the mysterious glow of night. Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children," also visually reflects the content of the book, creating a unique composition made from 1001 pieces of paper made in India and joined to form a map of India on August 15, 1947, its date of independence. The "midnight's children" of the book's title are the 1001 children born in the first hour of Indian independence. The exhibition is open through March 15, 2018, with the reception on Thursday, March 8, 6:00 - 9:00 pm. The artist talk, as well as audio recording will begin at 7:30 pm. The Whale and Other Text was curated by Viera Levitt, UMass Dartmouth Gallery Director, born in Slovakia, where she had assisted Diane in her 1998 sound based site-specific installation for the Synagogue - Centre for Contemporary Art in Trnava. Thanks to Kris Nuzzi and the Pavel Zoubok Gallery for their wonderful collaboration on this exhibition.

  • Mouthfeel - Video Exhibition
  • Location: > See description for location
  • Cost: free
  • Contact: > See Description for contact information
  • Description: Mouthfeel Feb 15 - March 9, 2018 Five video artworks exploring the sense of taste and touch curated by Megan Fizell, Sydney, Australia. Mouthfeel is defined as the physical sensations in the mouth created by food or drink. The objective of this exhibition is to stimulate a synaesthetic response in the viewer through the observation of these films. The mouth is used by these artists to trigger the sense of taste and touch by the ingestion of edible and non-edible substances. The videos feature a variety of actions, from the monotonous task of licking through a pane of cast sugar, to ingesting a bouquet of roses. The five films selected for this exhibition by curator Megan Fizell include performative actions by four female artists and one male/female collaborative work: Elizabeth Willing, Hannah Raisin, Martynka Wawzyniak, Nina Ross, and Hillerbrand+Magsamen. Mouthfeel has previously been viewed at Brenda May Gallery in Sydney, Creative Industries Precinct at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, and Northern Centre for Contemporary Art in Darwin (all in Australia).

The videos feature a variety of actions, from the monotonous task of licking through a pane of cast sugar, to ingesting a bouquet of roses. The five films selected for this exhibition by curator Megan Fizell include performative actions by four female artists and one male/female collaborative work: Elizabeth Willing, Hannah Raisin, Martynka Wawzyniak, Nina Ross, and Hillerbrand+Magsamen. Mouthfeel has previously been viewed at Brenda May Gallery in Sydney, Creative Industries Precinct at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, and Northern Centre for Contemporary Art in Darwin (all in Australia).

  • Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts
  • Location: University Art Gallery
  • Cost: free
  • Contact: University Art Gallery
  • Description: Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts Feb 7 - March 15, 2018 RECEPTION: Thursday, March 8, 6:00 - 9:00 pm; Artist Talk 7:30 pm Exhibition at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in Downtown New Bedford, "Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts" is centered around the 8' wide by 47' long artwork Moby-Dick, or The Whale. This mesmerizing large scale piece appears to be floating on the gallery floor and spilling off the wall, reflecting on the ocean nearby, the location for the Melville's famous novel. Pittsburgh based Diane Samuels who often uses text as a element in her visual vocabulary this time creates waves with her meticulous hand-transcriptions created using all of the 701 pages in the novel. Remnants of archival paper and drawings have been recycled and painted over and, in places, drawn and collaged using images that pertain to the specific text. Each page of the book (also exhibited at the gallery) is hand-written as a horizontal row of the drawing, starting with "Call me Ishmael" at the top of the artwork. Samuels chose Moby-Dick, or The Whale because of Melville's descriptions of confrontations with "the other" and his archiving and cataloguing of information about whales and the world. In Chapter Three, Ishmael and Queequeg share a room and a bed at the Spouter-Inn. Ishmael describes his terror in meeting Queequeg. Despite cultural, racial, and language differences, the chapter ends with Ishmael's statement, "I turned in, and never slept better in my life." Accompanying this installation is the compressed sound of the artist reading out loud and hand-transcribing each page, creating a layered "audio block"; a dense sound comprised of words and pages, along with the ambient sounds of the artist's studio. The audio block is the length of the longest page of the book. Other artworks also surprise visitors with their intricate hand-transcription in microscript. The Arabian Nights traces the stories told by Scheherazade over 10,000 fragments of papers painted in shades of indigo and crimson and edged in gold. The piece is a literal and figurative "magic carpet" whose central panel is bathed in the blood of the book's unfortunate heroines and cloaked in the mysterious glow of night. Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children," also visually reflects the content of the book, creating a unique composition made from 1001 pieces of paper made in India and joined to form a map of India on August 15, 1947, its date of independence. The "midnight's children" of the book's title are the 1001 children born in the first hour of Indian independence. The exhibition is open through March 15, 2018, with the reception on Thursday, March 8, 6:00 - 9:00 pm. The artist talk, as well as audio recording will begin at 7:30 pm. The Whale and Other Text was curated by Viera Levitt, UMass Dartmouth Gallery Director, born in Slovakia, where she had assisted Diane in her 1998 sound based site-specific installation for the Synagogue - Centre for Contemporary Art in Trnava. Thanks to Kris Nuzzi and the Pavel Zoubok Gallery for their wonderful collaboration on this exhibition.

  • Location: New Bedford , New Bedford, MA

  • Description: Department of Fisheries Oceanography Beyond the binary: what does a systems-based approach to sustaining wild seafood look like? Kate Masury Program Director Eating with the Ecosystem Wednesday, February 28, 2018 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm SMAST-E rm. 101/102 836 South Rodney French Boulevard, New Bedford, MA Abstract: Fisheries are one of the trickiest “wicked problems” in the food system. Hard to count and still harder to control, wild fish stocks continue to confound embattled fishermen, regulators, and conservationists, with seafood lovers caught in a confusing crossfire of contradictory information about what to eat and what to avoid. For too long, sustainable seafood marketing campaigns have been dominated by a single simple assumption: that there are two categories of seafood – sustainable and unsustainable – and that by purchasing more of the former and less of the latter, consumers can help move all species to the “sustainable” side of the ledger. But this binary division and the unidirectional, linear path of influence from consumer to fish that underpins this model mask the true complexity and dynamicism of wild ecosystems and cripple consumers’ ability to engage more meaningfully in the work of caring for them. In our discussion, we will outline a new sustainable seafood model for the Anthropocene grounded in the emerging regionality of food systems with insights from ecosystem science. With New England as a case study, we will consider three questions: (1) what emergent properties of the socio-ecological fisheries system should guide our food system planning efforts, and how can we measure and manage them?, (2) how can we replace end-of-the-pipeline, carrot-and-stick models for consumer involvement with bi-directional, self-sustaining positive feedback loops between consumers and wild seafood ecosystems?, and (3) what does sustainability mean in a changing environment, and how should this inform the goals of a systems-based approach to sustaining wild seafood?

  • Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts
  • Location: University Art Gallery
  • Cost: free
  • Contact: University Art Gallery
  • Description: Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts Feb 7 - March 15, 2018 RECEPTION: Thursday, March 8, 6:00 - 9:00 pm; Artist Talk 7:30 pm Exhibition at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in Downtown New Bedford, "Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts" is centered around the 8' wide by 47' long artwork Moby-Dick, or The Whale. This mesmerizing large scale piece appears to be floating on the gallery floor and spilling off the wall, reflecting on the ocean nearby, the location for the Melville's famous novel. Pittsburgh based Diane Samuels who often uses text as a element in her visual vocabulary this time creates waves with her meticulous hand-transcriptions created using all of the 701 pages in the novel. Remnants of archival paper and drawings have been recycled and painted over and, in places, drawn and collaged using images that pertain to the specific text. Each page of the book (also exhibited at the gallery) is hand-written as a horizontal row of the drawing, starting with "Call me Ishmael" at the top of the artwork. Samuels chose Moby-Dick, or The Whale because of Melville's descriptions of confrontations with "the other" and his archiving and cataloguing of information about whales and the world. In Chapter Three, Ishmael and Queequeg share a room and a bed at the Spouter-Inn. Ishmael describes his terror in meeting Queequeg. Despite cultural, racial, and language differences, the chapter ends with Ishmael's statement, "I turned in, and never slept better in my life." Accompanying this installation is the compressed sound of the artist reading out loud and hand-transcribing each page, creating a layered "audio block"; a dense sound comprised of words and pages, along with the ambient sounds of the artist's studio. The audio block is the length of the longest page of the book. Other artworks also surprise visitors with their intricate hand-transcription in microscript. The Arabian Nights traces the stories told by Scheherazade over 10,000 fragments of papers painted in shades of indigo and crimson and edged in gold. The piece is a literal and figurative "magic carpet" whose central panel is bathed in the blood of the book's unfortunate heroines and cloaked in the mysterious glow of night. Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children," also visually reflects the content of the book, creating a unique composition made from 1001 pieces of paper made in India and joined to form a map of India on August 15, 1947, its date of independence. The "midnight's children" of the book's title are the 1001 children born in the first hour of Indian independence. The exhibition is open through March 15, 2018, with the reception on Thursday, March 8, 6:00 - 9:00 pm. The artist talk, as well as audio recording will begin at 7:30 pm. The Whale and Other Text was curated by Viera Levitt, UMass Dartmouth Gallery Director, born in Slovakia, where she had assisted Diane in her 1998 sound based site-specific installation for the Synagogue - Centre for Contemporary Art in Trnava. Thanks to Kris Nuzzi and the Pavel Zoubok Gallery for their wonderful collaboration on this exhibition.

  • UMass Dartmouth Student Health Survey
  • Location: > See description for location
  • Contact: LiveWell: Office of Health Education, Promotion, & Wellness
  • Description: All full-time undergraduate students aged 18-25 will receive an email invitation to participate in the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) sponsored and distributed by the American College Health Association (ACHA). The ACHA-NCHA is a survey designed to assess student health behaviors in order to provide better services and support for UMass Dartmouth students. You may benefit by knowing that you have assisted in providing accurate information regarding health/wellness behaviors on our campus. The information will be used to develop wellness programs and services for UMass Dartmouth. The NCHA-Web is completed online via the Internet. We encourage you to complete the survey in one sitting, which typically takes about 20-30 minutes. All students who submit a survey will be automatically entered in a random drawing for a chance to win one of the following prizes: free on-campus parking for the 2018-2019 academic year (1 winner); $50 Visa gift card (2 winners); $25 Visa gift card (20 winners). Participation is completely voluntary and confidential. To ensure confidentiality, e-mail addresses are destroyed by ACHA before data are compiled and shared with UMass Dartmouth. The raw data file that is shared with your school will not contain any unique identifiers. If you feel that answering specific demographic questions might reveal your identity, you may leave them blank. You may answer only some questions, or you may choose not to participate in the survey at all. Any reports or publications based on this research will use only group data and will not identify you or any individual as being affiliated with this project. For more information about the ACHA-NCHA, visit: http://www.acha-ncha.org All questions regarding the survey should be directed to Beth-Anne Guthrie, Assistant Director Health Services, Health Education & Promotion at livewell@umassd.edu
