The UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery at Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford has the pleasure to invite you to the exhibition titled, Two of a Kind, featuring large scale photographs of paint by Abelardo Morell in conversation with paintings by Anthony Fisher.
This exhibition presents two creative approaches that focus on the abstract image- Abelardo Morell's incredibly lush and sensual photographs of fresh paint frozen in time with the help of light, fast exposure and flash, and Anthony Fisher's ingeniously captured lines and shapes featured on layered, monochromatic abstract paintings.
Both Morell and Fisher share a restless urgency to invent novel ways to play with traditional media, subjects, and methods. In their respective studios in the same creative community just outside of Boston, each pours their unique experimentation into their own patient and carefully crafted process. Results sometimes arrive as wonderful surprises transformed into bold work that the visitor can almost enter - inspiring, open minded, and deeply creative. Abelardo Morell admires Anthony's work because he, "like me, thinks a lot about how a picture is made. Subject matter for him is, of course, important, but it is within his working process that the subject emerges. Anthony has used all sorts of devices to make marks on the canvas - perhaps to get his ego out of the way a bit."
Anthony Fisher's studio process involves quirky and lumbering invented tools, physical struggle, gravity, chemistry, and physics to allow hundreds of marks to be thrown onto a canvas all at once. "My process is specifically designed for EXCESS- with so many visual ideas emerging at once, the overwhelmingly vast majority are discarded. I want the unexpected. My goal is to spark ideas that otherwise wouldn't appear with a more deliberative, considered approach," says Fisher.
Abelardo Morell explains his admiration for the subject matter of his photographs, "When I visit museums, my eyes often take me first to the painting galleries. I marvel at the surfaces of paintings, which contain their own visual dramas, often independent of any narrative or formal aspect of the work. A difference between us as a photographer and painter is that photographers normally start with the world, while painters begin with a blank canvas and end up at times with astonishing creations." Morell's photographs show "that substance on its way to drying- a stage that finished paintings can never retain. "I also use other lighting sources pointed at a low angle to increase the raking light effects on the thick paint surface. I like the translucent and geometric visual marriages achieved through this method. Because what I am making are not "paintings" in their own right, I am able to quote and crop discrete small paint details to make them play a big role in the final picture."
Created specifically for this exhibition and presented at the gallery's entrance is another visual surprise that underlines the connection between these two artists, neighbors and friends- a photograph of Abelardo Morell titled, "Paint: After Anthony Fisher's 2021 Painting 'Some Will Still Be Standing', 2022" right next to the actual painting that inspired this work.
Free tickets are available for the opening and closing reception during AHA! Night, Thursday February 10, 6-8 pm (Artist Talk starts at 6:30 pm) and AHA! Night, Thursday, March 10, 6-8 pm at umassdartmouthgalleries.eventbrite.com. The exhibition is open free of charge between February 2 - March 10, 2022.

4 pm, via Zoom
The United States has been the place of many encounters between communities speaking different languages, and many American writers have tried to represent those encounters. Some representations reveal positive possibilities. All too many, though, depend on oppressions and distortions. In this talk, Lawrence Rosenwald, Anne Pierce Rogers Professor of American Literature, Wellesley College, first critiques some scenes of oppression and distortion, and then celebrates some scenes of utopian possibility.

"Leveraging quantitative methods and emerging technologies for marine conservation"
Catherine Foley, PhD
Fishery Biologist
Northeast Fisheries Science Center
NOAA Fisheries
Wednesday, February 16, 2022
2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
SMAST East, Rooms 101/102
Also Via Zoom
Abstract:
A lack of available data is often a critical problem in effective environmental decision-making, especially in regions that are inherently dangerous or difficult to access. This seminar will explore how novel quantitative approaches and emerging technologies can be leveraged in data-poor systems to gain insights for environmental management and answer fundamental questions in ecology and conservation. Using case studies from the poles to the tropics, we will explore how remote sensing can be used to monitor populations in inaccessible regions, learn how phenology drives systematic misunderstanding of population dynamics, and how historical records can be used to reconstruct baseline population data. Finally, we will discuss how statistical methods can be used to evaluate controversial environmental policies at the national and international level, thus illustrating the role of quantitative ecology in guiding decision-making.

- Description: Wednesday, February 16, 2022
12-1 pm
LIB 213
The engagement of undergraduates in research can be an essential part of their learning experience and can greatly enhance their future success. Inclusion of undergraduates into research can be of great value to faculty development also and it can benefit both research and teaching progression. However, there can be challenges involved, particularly, in undergraduate recruitment and inclusion into appropriate research that maximizes the success of the undergraduate, the faculty, and the research. Here, we will discuss these challenges and the ways that we have maximized the mutual success of all parties involved. Our panel includes faculty that have had undergraduates lead publications, international and national presentations, and been awarded grants to support their research, and we look forward to an interactive discussion.
To register, please contact Ellen Mandly (emandly@umassd.edu) to reserve a space. Please indicate your preference for modality (in person or virtual). Lunch will be provided for all in-person participants.

Seminar Announcement
"Marine Heatwaves and their Depth Structures on the Northeast WS Continental Shelf"
Svenja Ryan
Postdoctoral Fellow/Scholar
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Wednesday, February 16, 2022
12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
SMAST East Rooms 101/102
And Via Zoom
Abstract:
Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) are ocean extreme events, characterized by anomalously high temperatures, which can have drastic ecological impacts. The Northeast U.S. continental shelf is of great economical importance being home to a highly productive ecosystem. Local warming rates exceed the global average and the region experienced multiple MHWs in the last decade with severe consequences for regional fisheries. Due to the lack of subsurface observations, the depth-extent of MHWs is not well known, which however hampers assessing impacts on pelagic and benthic ecosystems. This study utilizes a global ocean circulation model with a high-resolution (1/20°) nest in the Atlantic to investigate the depth structure of MHWs and associated drivers on the Northeast U.S. continental shelf. It is shown that MHWs exhibit varying spatial extents, with some only appearing at depth. Highest intensities are found around 100m depth with temperatures exceeding the climatological mean by up to 7°C, while surface intensities are typically smaller around 3°C. Distinct vertical structures are associated with different spatial patterns and drivers. Investigation of the co-variability of temperature and salinity revealed that over 80% of MHWs at depth (>70m) coincide with extreme salinity anomalies. Two case studies provide insight into opposing MHW patterns at the surface and at depth, being forced by anomalous air-sea heat fluxes and Gulf Stream warm core ring interaction, respectively. The highlights the importance of local ocean dynamics the need of their realistic representation in climate models.

The UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery at Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford has the pleasure to invite you to the exhibition titled, Two of a Kind, featuring large scale photographs of paint by Abelardo Morell in conversation with paintings by Anthony Fisher.
This exhibition presents two creative approaches that focus on the abstract image- Abelardo Morell's incredibly lush and sensual photographs of fresh paint frozen in time with the help of light, fast exposure and flash, and Anthony Fisher's ingeniously captured lines and shapes featured on layered, monochromatic abstract paintings.
Both Morell and Fisher share a restless urgency to invent novel ways to play with traditional media, subjects, and methods. In their respective studios in the same creative community just outside of Boston, each pours their unique experimentation into their own patient and carefully crafted process. Results sometimes arrive as wonderful surprises transformed into bold work that the visitor can almost enter - inspiring, open minded, and deeply creative. Abelardo Morell admires Anthony's work because he, "like me, thinks a lot about how a picture is made. Subject matter for him is, of course, important, but it is within his working process that the subject emerges. Anthony has used all sorts of devices to make marks on the canvas - perhaps to get his ego out of the way a bit."
Anthony Fisher's studio process involves quirky and lumbering invented tools, physical struggle, gravity, chemistry, and physics to allow hundreds of marks to be thrown onto a canvas all at once. "My process is specifically designed for EXCESS- with so many visual ideas emerging at once, the overwhelmingly vast majority are discarded. I want the unexpected. My goal is to spark ideas that otherwise wouldn't appear with a more deliberative, considered approach," says Fisher.
Abelardo Morell explains his admiration for the subject matter of his photographs, "When I visit museums, my eyes often take me first to the painting galleries. I marvel at the surfaces of paintings, which contain their own visual dramas, often independent of any narrative or formal aspect of the work. A difference between us as a photographer and painter is that photographers normally start with the world, while painters begin with a blank canvas and end up at times with astonishing creations." Morell's photographs show "that substance on its way to drying- a stage that finished paintings can never retain. "I also use other lighting sources pointed at a low angle to increase the raking light effects on the thick paint surface. I like the translucent and geometric visual marriages achieved through this method. Because what I am making are not "paintings" in their own right, I am able to quote and crop discrete small paint details to make them play a big role in the final picture."
Created specifically for this exhibition and presented at the gallery's entrance is another visual surprise that underlines the connection between these two artists, neighbors and friends- a photograph of Abelardo Morell titled, "Paint: After Anthony Fisher's 2021 Painting 'Some Will Still Be Standing', 2022" right next to the actual painting that inspired this work.
Free tickets are available for the opening and closing reception during AHA! Night, Thursday February 10, 6-8 pm (Artist Talk starts at 6:30 pm) and AHA! Night, Thursday, March 10, 6-8 pm at umassdartmouthgalleries.eventbrite.com. The exhibition is open free of charge between February 2 - March 10, 2022.

Coping with Loss Support Group
- Location: Online
- Cost: FREE
- Contact: Counseling Center
- Description: Grief and loss are common experiences that many of us share. We can grieve over many different losses, including the loss of a loved one, the loss of social connections, the loss of a pet, the loss of a job, the loss of our sense of self, etc. Although these experiences are common to most of us, grief and loss can feel isolating, lonely, and overwhelming, particularly during the
COVID-19 pandemic when social connections are already limited. If you have experienced, or are currently experiencing, any type of grief and loss, you may benefit from joining the Coping with Loss Support Group. This group is open to all UMass Dartmouth students and is a space for students to support each other and discuss their feelings and experiences with grief and loss.
If interested in joining, please contact Nancy Harper, LICSW: nharper@umassd.edu or Meghan Silvia, MA: msilvia4@umassd.edu or contact that Counseling Center at (508) 999-8648 for more information.

"My process is specifically designed for EXCESS- with so many visual ideas emerging at once, the overwhelmingly vast majority are discarded. I want the unexpected. My goal is to spark ideas that otherwise wouldn't appear with a more deliberative, considered approach," says Fisher.
Abelardo Morell explains his admiration for the subject matter of his photographs, "When I visit museums, my eyes often take me first to the painting galleries. I marvel at the surfaces of paintings, which contain their own visual dramas, often independent of any narrative or formal aspect of the work. A difference between us as a photographer and painter is that photographers normally start with the world, while painters begin with a blank canvas and end up at times with astonishing creations." Morell's photographs show "that substance on its way to drying- a stage that finished paintings can never retain. "I also use other lighting sources pointed at a low angle to increase the raking light effects on the thick paint surface. I like the translucent and geometric visual marriages achieved through this method. Because what I am making are not "paintings" in their own right, I am able to quote and crop discrete small paint details to make them play a big role in the final picture."
Created specifically for this exhibition and presented at the gallery's entrance is another visual surprise that underlines the connection between these two artists, neighbors and friends- a photograph of Abelardo Morell titled, "Paint: After Anthony Fisher's 2021 Painting 'Some Will Still Be Standing', 2022" right next to the actual painting that inspired this work.
