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.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Natalia Arbelaez is a Columbian American artist, born and raised in Miami, Florida, to immigrant parents. Her terracotta sculptures often involve figures interacting with one another or conveying emotion with their facial expressions. She draws from her Colombian family's immigration story to tell a larger cultural history of hybridization that is a result of migration.
Leilah Babirye was forced to flee Uganda when she was outed as a lesbian by a local newspaper. She sought asylum in the United States, when she was threatened by her country's virulent homophobic laws. Babirye's work often amplifies the disparity between the patriarchal systems of British colonialization and the matriarchal clan systems of historical Uganda. In addition to clay, she uses wood and found objects, including debris found on the streets.
Courtney M. Leonard is an artist and filmmaker, of the Shinnecock nation, which occupied the territory between Long Island and Connecticut. Leonard's work is an exploration and documentation of historical ties to place and sustainability. In collaboration with national and international museums, cultural institutions, and indigenous communities, Leonard's practice investigates narratives of cultural viability as a reflection of environmental record.

"Exploring the use of seabirds as dynamic ocean management tools to mitigate entanglement risk to large whales"

National Marine Sanctuary Foundation
Wednesday, October 13, 2021
2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
SMAST East, Rooms 101/102
Also Via Zoom
Abstract:
Entanglement in fishing gear is a serious conservation concern for large whales. U.S. management actions to reduce entanglement-related serious injury and mortality have been mostly ineffective, resulting in continual negotiations and escalating conflict between stakeholder user groups attempting to balance ecological and economic values. Many management measures have been ineffective partially due to static protection schemes that fail to account for distribution shifts of highly mobile animals and human users that are responding to dynamic ocean conditions. Large whale conservation would benefit from dynamic ocean management, but few tools exist to inform dynamic approaches. Seabirds are documented ecological indicators, are often found foraging in association with whales, and can be tagged at lower cost and in higher numbers than whales. Here, we explore the use of satellite-tagged seabirds (great shearwaters, Ardenna gravis) as dynamic ocean management tools for near real-time identification of habitats where large whales aggregate and may overlap with fisheries. We examine spatial overlap between satellite-tagged great shearwaters, humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae) and North Atlantic right (Eubalaena glacialis) whales over several spatial and temporal scales using multiple datasets. Lastly, we discuss implications and future work that may help operationalize dynamic management to more strategically mitigate entanglement impacts to large whales.
