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.

Rethinking the Flipped Classroom

Moderator: Jay Zysk, Director, Office of Faculty Development
The experience of teaching and learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic invites renewed attention to flipping the classroom, that is, a pedagogical strategy whereby students engage with readings, recorded lectures, and other instructional materials outside of class in order to make more in-class time available for active learning, group discussion, and problem solving. In this workshop, instructors will share their experiences with flipping the classroom and offer some insight, both individual and collective, to how they have innovated flipped classrooms amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics will include the relationship between the flipped classroom and blended learning; engaging students in a flipped classroom; creation and assessment of assignments and activities; striking a balance between out-of-class and in-class activity; and addressing challenges to designing and teaching a flipped class.
This workshop is open to all faculty and graduate student instructors. 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.
