AMANDA MEANS: LIGHT YEARS
- Location: > See description for location
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is delighted to host a career survey of the work of renowned U.S. artist Amanda Means at the University Art Gallery in Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford.
For over forty years, Amanda Means has created a body of work that has pushed the boundaries of the photographic medium with her celebrated Leaf, Flower, Water Glass, and Light Bulb series of images. Means has been a darkroom innovator throughout her career: adapting a 19th century camera for use as an enlarger, photographing objects without the use of negatives, working with a large-format Polaroid camera, and creating a series of remarkable abstracts working only with light and photographic materials. The artist's darkroom alchemy was cited by the Guggenheim Foundation in awarding Means their prestigious Fellowship in 2017 for her contribution to contemporary photography.
Our survey exhibition, Means' first retrospective, includes examples of work from all phases of her career. Alongside key pieces from her color Polaroid Light Bulb and silver gelatin Water Glass works, we are excited to be showing some of the artist's early prints and works on paper, as well as important examples of her black and white Flower and Light Bulb works. This affords a unique opportunity to view Means' most celebrated images in the broader context of her overall practice.
Amanda Means is a graduate of Cornell University and SUNY Buffalo, and is a 2017 Guggenheim Fellow, awarded for her contribution to contemporary photography. She has exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad, and her work is included in numerous collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston; the MIT List Visual Arts Center; the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, N.Y.; and the Nicola Erni Collection, Switzerland. The artist is represented by JHB Gallery, New York, and lives and works in Beacon, New York.

Introduction to Oral History Research and Archiving
- Location: > See description for location
- Contact: Office of Faculty Development
- Description: Facilitator: Sonia Pacheco
Office of Faculty Development: Library 213
This introductory workshop serves as an informative overview to the field of oral history from initial idea through finished product. The workshop will cover specifics within three sub-categories of oral history: Pre-Interview, Interview, and Post-Interview, including the basics of oral history, project planning, technology, interview setup, writing questions, release forms, providing access and/or a transcript, available resources, and any other topic of interest to the attendees. Additionally, the workshop will include a series of audio question and answer examples from several oral history interviews to help individuals hone interviewing skills and provoke additional discussion in the workshop. Lastly, the workshop features discussions on establishing and preserving an oral history archive.
This event is open to UMassD faculty participants. To register, please email Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu. In-person participation will be limited to the first 10 registrants; virtual participation is available to anyone. Please make your preference known when registering. Lunch is provided for in-person participants.

Mechanical Engineering (MNE) Seminar on 9/24/21 by Dr. Yunxing Su
- Location: Charlton College of Business, Room 115,
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
- Description: Mechanical Engineering (MNE) SEMINAR
DATE:
September 24, 2021
TIME:
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
LOCATION:
Charlton College of Business (CCB), Room 115
SPEAKER:
Dr. Yunxing Su, Postdoc
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Brown University
TOPIC:
Hydrokinetic Renewable Energy Harvesting Using Oscillating Hydrofoils
ABSTRACT:
Renewable energy is energy that is harvested from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Compared to conventional energy (fossil fuels), renewable energy is clean in consumption. In this talk, we will focus on the tidal energy harvesting, which is essentially extracting hydrokinetic energy from moving fluids (rivers or tides) by using oscillating hydrofoils.
Experiments were conducted in a water flume with hydrofoils operating in different configurations and energy harvesting efficiency is evaluated to find the optimal conditions. I will first talk about the prescribed system, in which the hydrofoil motion is predefined by the experimentalist. In such a system, we explored the energy harvesting performance of a single hydrofoil in a confined channel and the interaction of two hydrofoil operating in a tandem configuration (in line). Then I will move to the passive system, which is achieved by using a force-feedback cyber-physical system to realize a spring-mass-damper system. In such a system, we optimized the energy harvesting performance and aeroelastic instability of a single foil under various elastic mountings. In addition, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements of the flow fields were used to help understand the energy harvesting performance of the hydrofoil.
BIO:
Dr. Yunxing Su received his Bachelor of Science at University of Science and Technology of China in 2013. Then he moved to Brown University to pursue his PhD degree in School of Engineering under the supervision of Professor Kenny Breuer focusing on renewable energy harvesting using oscillating hydrofoils. After earning his PhD degree in 2019, he joined Professor Roberto Zenit's lab at Brown University as a postdoctoral researcher working on multiphase flow, including viscous filament coiling instability, viscoelastic helical swimming, and bubbly flow in viscoelastic fluids.
For more information please contact Dr. Hangjian Ling, MNE Seminar Coordinator (hling1@umassd.edu).
All are welcome. Students taking MNE-500 are REQUIRED to attend! All other MNE BS and MS students are encouraged to attend. All EAS students are encouraged to attend.
Light refreshments will be served.
Thank you,
