  • Brutalism & the Public University Past, Present and Future
  • Location: > See description for location
  • Contact: > See Description for contact information
  • Description: Modern twentieth century architecture has always inspired a variety of passionate responses, especially the "brutalist" buildings at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth and Amherst. To explore their architectural heritage and its preservation, the two campuses will hold a two-day symposium, Brutalism + the Public University: Past, Present, and Future on October 22 and 23. The symposium, part of the UMassBrut collaborative, will provide a unique platform that brings together a team of distinguished scholars, industry professionals, artists, and passionate citizens with an interest in the preservation of mid to late twentieth-century architecture. The symposium's goal is to create a dynamic, cross-disciplinary conversation among all participants on how to provide stewardship of these buildings for the future. Each day will feature professional workshops, scholarly lectures, guided campus tours, public art exhibitions, and creative activities (including video projections on the architectural facades). Participants will discuss Brutalist architecture (history and design) and explore the issues of preservation and adaption unique to these modernist concrete structures. Both campuses contain extensive examples of mid-century Brutalist concrete architecture by world-renowned modernist architects including Paul Rudolph, Marcel Breuer, Kevin Roche, Hugh Stubbins, and Edward Durell Stone. These landmark structures will be accessible in Dartmouth on Friday, October 22, and in Amherst on Saturday, October 23. Keynote presentations on both days will include Chandler McCoy and Ana Paula Arato Gonçalves of the Getty Conservation Institute's Conserving Modern Architecture Initiative. Speakers include faculty from UMass and visiting faculty from Brown, Harvard, Roger Williams, Rutgers, Columbia and the University of South Carolina. Other speakers include distinguished professionals from the fields of architecture, historic preservation, engineering, construction, lighting, graphic, interior design, and professional staff from UMass and the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance. The UMassBrut group, organizers of the symposium, consists of UMass Dartmouth and UMass Amherst faculty, staff, students, and interested parties dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and reimagining mid-century Brutalist public architecture. The group will continue to organize events and engage others in the UMass system and the public at large. Location: UMass Amherst Contact: Allison Cywin at acywin@umassd.edu.

  • 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.
