Marc St. Pierre: Black & White - Star Store Campus
- Location: > See description for location
- Cost: 0
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Marc St. Pierre: Black & White
Location: University Art Gallery, Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford, MA
Open through September 9, 2021
Reception: AHA! Night, Thursday, August 12, 6-8 pm
Gallery hours: Mon-Fri 9 am - 6 pm and until 9 pm during AHA! Nights (second Thursday of every month)
The University Art Gallery in New Bedford is proud to present Black & White, an exhibition by a beloved UMass Dartmouth professor, the late Marc St. Pierre (June 23, 1952 - December 2, 2019), featuring a selection of mixed media drawings and collage with encaustic, as well as black and white photography.
Drawings created between 2008 and 2012, layered geometric elements, and abstract forms create a rich and poignant experience filled with wonder and exploration. They took inspiration from the 'man-made', architectural plans, diagrams, and maps of early explorers. In his artist statement from 2012, Marc said,“As the drawing process evolves, organic shapes and gestural lines are introduced over the groundwork in transparent overlays. This provides a counterpoint to the precision associated with the geometry and acts as a multiple exposure in photography. This pictorial space becomes a dialog of random marks that combines the constructed with the unsystematic. My drawings intend to move the eye within an abstract and shallow picture plane in a gradual release of time.
The illusion of a 'deep space' in Marc's work, invites visitors into a complex, hazy, and multi-dimensional world of collage and encaustics that are presented in smaller formats in the exhibition. Describing his process in 2017, Marc wrote, "First, I use a variety of printmaking processes as a departure for recording marks, surfaces, and layers. This becomes a collage groundwork that allows me to invent the abstract equivalent of land patterns such as the meeting point of landmasses and water, for example. Secondly, additional layers of tracings from actual maps and topographic patterns are introduced. These drawings become a physical overlay suspended in translucent wax." Curiosity and the connection between the creative and scientific, as well as an equally strong interest in observing the tangible are also very much a part of Marc's pinhole camera work shown at Crapo Gallery.
After his retirement in 2017, Marc was often seen counting the time of his exposures while photographing various New Bedford locations. According to Gallery Director, Viera Levitt, "Marc would talk about taking his pinhole photographs, leaving for these expeditions from the Star Store Campus with a repurposed box readied with a small hole for capturing images directly on the photo paper. He enjoyed telling stories to his impromptu audiences including the building guard, about the random passers-by, observing his 'mysterious box' on the ground, ready to 'shoot'! It was indeed magic to see the one-of-a-kind monotypes he was able to capture with such simple, but skilled technique and his great patience for experimentation."
The exhibition is open through September 9 during the gallery hours Mon-Fri 9 am-6 pm and until 9 pm during AHA! Nights (the second Thursday of every month). The special reception is planned for Thursday, AHA! Night, August 12, from 6 to 8 pm.

Passcode: 908643
Topic: Electrical Stimulation of Neural Progenitor Cells on a Scaffold of Peptide-Based Nanotubes
Abstract:
The influence of electrical stimulation on neural cell activity is an area of research which has garnered a lot of interest in the past decade. Non-invasive electrical stimulation could potentially enhance neural cell proliferation, and neuronal differentiation. Additionally, the ability to stimulate individual neurons may have a potential impact on the development of neural networks, and enhanced motor rehabilitation. Lastly, interfacing cells with biocompatible materials with electrical properties could be harnessed to introduce potential gradients across the cell membrane for neurological activation and repairs. In this project, we are studying the influence of voltage stimulation on human neural progenitor cells in vitro using a high-density array of peptide nanotubes deposited via vapor deposition. The peptide-based building blocks self-assemble to form highly organized nanoscale structures with key functional properties such as biocompatibility, high aspect ratios, semi-conductivity, and stiffness to be used as cell-scaffolding in this study. Prior studies have used carbon nanotubes scaffolds for the electrical stimulation, but their cytotoxicity makes their use in many biological systems undesirable. Peptide nanotubes are biocompatible and can be self-assembled using simple chemical techniques. Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was used to produce a uniform array of vertically oriented nanotubes. The dipeptides that were used to create this scaffold are dityrosine and tryptophan-tyrosine. To study the influence of voltage stimulation on cell growth, we are using human neural progenitor cells (NPCs). This electrical stimulation of the cells via the peptide nanotubes can lead to the release of catecholamines including epinephrine, dopamine and norepinephrine into the extra-cellular space which will be monitored throughout the lifecycle of the cells. We will additionally investigate the role of an applied electric field on the components of the cell membrane, the creation of potentially cytotoxic events such as the formation of pores, and the interaction between the cell membrane and the peptide nanotubes to ensure the safety of our methods.

Seminar Announcement
Fisheries Oceanography at UMass Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology (SMAST)
Steve Cadrin, Professor, SMAST
Wednesday, September 1, 2021
2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
SMAST East Rooms 101/102
836 S. Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford
Abstract
Fisheries oceanography can be defined as the study of interactions between marine fish, their environments, and fisheries to understand their productivity and inform sustainable management of fisheries. Traditional fisheries science considered oceanographic interactions to explain recruitment dynamics (the production of eggs, larvae and post-larval stages), and current ecosystem approaches to fishery management also consider environmental factors at later life stages, habitat conservation, and the effects of climate change on fisheries. Massachusetts and New Bedford have a rich history of fishing, and the UMass Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology has contributed to New Bedford's status as the #1 economic fishing port in the country. The school's academic program and research portfolio range from physical oceanography to fishery economics - and everything between. Our interdisciplinary applications inform regional policy for fisheries and other marine industries. Most importantly, we train the next generation of fisheries oceanographers and fishery managers so they can confront the challenges of managing sustainable fisheries in a dynamic marine environment.

In his artist statement from 2012, Marc said,“As the drawing process evolves, organic shapes and gestural lines are introduced over the groundwork in transparent overlays. This provides a counterpoint to the precision associated with the geometry and acts as a multiple exposure in photography. This pictorial space becomes a dialog of random marks that combines the constructed with the unsystematic. My drawings intend to move the eye within an abstract and shallow picture plane in a gradual release of time.
The illusion of a 'deep space' in Marc's work, invites visitors into a complex, hazy, and multi-dimensional world of collage and encaustics that are presented in smaller formats in the exhibition. Describing his process in 2017, Marc wrote, "First, I use a variety of printmaking processes as a departure for recording marks, surfaces, and layers. This becomes a collage groundwork that allows me to invent the abstract equivalent of land patterns such as the meeting point of landmasses and water, for example. Secondly, additional layers of tracings from actual maps and topographic patterns are introduced. These drawings become a physical overlay suspended in translucent wax." Curiosity and the connection between the creative and scientific, as well as an equally strong interest in observing the tangible are also very much a part of Marc's pinhole camera work shown at Crapo Gallery.
After his retirement in 2017, Marc was often seen counting the time of his exposures while photographing various New Bedford locations. According to Gallery Director, Viera Levitt, "Marc would talk about taking his pinhole photographs, leaving for these expeditions from the Star Store Campus with a repurposed box readied with a small hole for capturing images directly on the photo paper. He enjoyed telling stories to his impromptu audiences including the building guard, about the random passers-by, observing his 'mysterious box' on the ground, ready to 'shoot'! It was indeed magic to see the one-of-a-kind monotypes he was able to capture with such simple, but skilled technique and his great patience for experimentation."
The exhibition is open through September 9 during the gallery hours Mon-Fri 9 am-6 pm and until 9 pm during AHA! Nights (the second Thursday of every month). The special reception is planned for Thursday, AHA! Night, August 12, from 6 to 8 pm.
