Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880-1940) - Opening Reception

- Description: Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880-1940)
Date: April 12-April 30, 2016
Location: CVPA Campus Gallery, UMass Dartmouth
Opening Reception: Wednesday, April 20 from 5 pm to 7 pm with the Gallery Talk at 5 pm
We might think that Linda Nochlin's famous 1988 question-Why have there been no great women artists?-is no longer applicable today. While-thousands and thousands of girl students-attended art academies right after the Civil War to meet growing industrial and cultural demand for illustrators, engravers, printmakers, miniaturists and portrait painters, only Mary Cassatt and Georgia O'Keefe are part of the art historical canon. Modernist critics and historians have often dismissed women's representational art because they privilege formalist invention over pictorial illusionism. Because of their focus on the individual fine artist, artistic style and elite patronage, such critics and historians have often ignored the importance of commercial illustration, printmaking, and traditional craft.
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's Art History Department and its upperclassmen address this premise in its upcoming exhibition entitled, Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880 - 1940) which runs from April 12 to April 30, 2016. The exhibition is a collaborative project whereby students work in teams and apply their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience.
This is the 5th year that art history professors Dr. Anna Dempsey and Allison J. Cywin have directed a group of upperclassmen to execute a professional museum-quality exhibition and publication. This student-run exhibition explores the definition of modernity and focuses on feminine artistic communities that extend from Providence to Provincetown. The women artists represented in the exhibition are Blanche Lazzell, Lucy L'Engle, Agnes Weinrich, Ethel Mars, Maud Squire, Grace Albee, Eliza D. Gardiner, Jessie Willcox Smith, Frances Gifford, Sarah Eddy, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Mabel Woodward, Alice Barbara Stephens, Blanche Ames Ames and Allen Sisters, among others.
This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the arts community, including Julie Heller Gallery of Provincetown, Bert Gallery of Providence, Portsmouth Free Public Library, Smith College's Sophia Smith Archive, University of Massachusetts Amherst Archive and Special Collection, Providence Art Club, Providence Athenaeum, New Bedford Whaling Museum, and private collectors.
The exhibition, free and open to the public, is held at the College of Visual & Performing Arts, Campus Art Gallery, 285 Old Westport Road (adjacent to parking lot 9) in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
The opening reception is Wednesday, April 20 from 5 pm to 7 pm with the Gallery Talk at 5 pm.
Gallery hours are Monday-Saturday 10 p.m. - 4 p.m.

Biogeochemical roles of bacteria in association with marine copepods
Pia H. Moisander
Assistant Professor
Department of Biology
University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
Wednesday, April 20, 2016
12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
SMAST I, Room 204
706 S. Rodney French Blvd
New Bedford, MA
Abstract:
Marine copepods (Arthropoda) are an important part of the marine food webs, serving as a major food source for fish larvae and other larger zooplankton. The nature and variability in composition and function of microbial communities present in association of copepods are currently not well understood. Our recent studies suggest that bacterial communities on copepods contain distinct stable and transient components, and these bacteria are likely to play a range of roles in marine biogeochemical cycles and food webs. We detected nitrogen (N2) fixation rates and N2 fixing bacteria on copepods collected from the coastal waters of the North Atlantic Ocean; some of these were N2-fixing Vibrio spp. that appear to maintain stable associations on copepods. Other potentially N2-fixing bacteria, including deltaproteobacterial groups and cyanobacterial N2 fixers that are symbiotic with eukaryotic phytoplankton, appear to end up in the copepods via copepod feeding on detrital material and live cells. These results and additional work conducted using high throughput sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene from copepods collected from the temperate North Atlantic coastal waters and the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre, suggest that feeding status plays a major role in controlling the copepod microbiome composition at any given time. In addition, our recent collaborative studies using stable isotope rate measurements and molecular analyses, detected other active nitrogen cycle transformations on copepod associations in both subtropical and temperate North Atlantic waters. The results suggest that if by-passing the protist-driven microbial loop, the bacteria associated with copepod food form an unconventional link in the marine food webs, thus potentially re-directing the path of carbon at the base of the marine food webs. Specific metabolic activities of the microbiome on copepods are also contributing to biogeochemical transformations of nitrogen in the surface layers of the ocean.

- Description: Italian Film Series - Va pensiero (2013)
Wednesday, April 20, 2016 7:00 PM
Liberal Arts rm. 117
Please join us for our third and final film in this semester's series with a special screening of the brilliant documentary Va pensiero (2013).
Steve Scherer writes in his review, his [director Dagmawi Yimer] fifth documentary film is about three Senagalese men recovering from racist attacks. Entitled Va Pensiero after the chorus of an opera by Giuseppe Verdi about an immigrant's nostalgia for home, the film follows the men as they try to come to terms with the hate and violence they endured. The first man was stabbed and left for dead by a skinhead at a bus stop in Milan. Passersby ignored him for more than an hour. The other two were randomly shot by a radical right-wing thug who hunted down and murdered two other Senagalese men on the streets of Florence in 2011, and then committed suicide.
Free Admission
