  • Description: Two of a Kind: Abelardo Morell and Anthony Fisher Exhibition Dates: February 2 - March 10, 2022 OPENING RECEPTION: AHA! Night, Thursday February 10, 6-8 pm | Artist Talk: 6:30 pm CLOSING RECEPTION: AHA! Night, Thursday, March 10, 6-8 pm Reserve your free ticket for the opening and closing: umassdartmouthgalleries.eventbrite.com Facebook + Instagram @ UMassDartmouthGalleries For additional information, please go to: umassd.edu/cvpa/galleries Contact: Viera Levitt, Gallery Director and Exhibition Curator 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. No reservation required to visit the gallery daily from 9 am to 6 pm.

  • Description: Two of a Kind: Abelardo Morell and Anthony Fisher Exhibition Dates: February 2 - March 10, 2022 OPENING RECEPTION: AHA! Night, Thursday February 10, 6-8 pm | Artist Talk: 6:30 pm CLOSING RECEPTION: AHA! Night, Thursday, March 10, 6-8 pm Reserve your free ticket for the opening and closing: umassdartmouthgalleries.eventbrite.com Facebook + Instagram @ UMassDartmouthGalleries For additional information, please go to: umassd.edu/cvpa/galleries Contact: Viera Levitt, Gallery Director and Exhibition Curator 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.

Tyler has observed and participated in two very different fisheries management systems: small-scale, barely managed, coral-reef fisheries in the Dominican Republic and commercial, federally managed fisheries in the northeast US. In this talk, Tyler will share his research from the Dominican Republic, how it informed his work in the northeast, his thoughts on the positive aspects of US fisheries management that could be applied to developing-country contexts, as well as perspectives from the Dominican Republic that should be considered in countries with extensive management systems already in place. ******************************************************************************* Zoom Link https://umassd.zoom.us/j/93758230260?pwd=OHJ5UDloQkZZaCtXcTlBNlR6Qm0rQT09 Meeting ID: 937 5823 0260 Passcode: 426839 One tap mobile +13017158592,,93758230260#,,,,*426839# US (Washington DC) +13126266799,,93758230260#,,,,*426839# US (Chicago) Dial by your location +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Find your local number: https://umassd.zoom.us/u/acosTPRs4V ******************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu

  • 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.

  • Description: Topic: A Comparison of Thresholding Methods for Two-Dimensional Wavelet-Based Image Denoising Location: Charlton College of Business Conference Room, CCB-115 Abstract: Applications in remote sensing, medical imaging, and target detection rely on relatively noise-free images to draw essential inferences for machine learning and eventual human interaction. Denoising images can be challenging due not only to the stochastic nature of additive noise but also to the complex, varied, and unpredictable nature of the actual image to be recovered. For these reasons, image-processing techniques are developed to provide solutions to improve images taken from corrupted measurements. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is widely used within the image processing community as it provides a bases that concentrates energy in relatively few coefficients for a wide range of image types. Such representations are considered sparse and do not lend themselves to conventional linear filtering. The DWT provides a computationally fast projection of the image onto the orthogonal multiscale and spatially localized wavelet bases. Unlike the conventional Fourier bases, which rely on phase across the entire set of bases to capture localized features, the DWT captures the scale and localized nature of the image features in a very small subset of bases. This particular property of wavelets proves useful as many two-dimensional signals prove quite sparse in the wavelet domain. Optimal denoising of such sparse, non-stationary structures requires the adaptation of conventional methods. This thesis focuses on denoising images via nonlinear thresholding techniques in the wavelet domain. Different adaptive and non-adaptive wavelet-based thresholding methods are presented: VISU-Shrink, SURE-Shrink, and Bayes-Shrink. For clarity, the focus is provided on four test images corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) at several noise variance levels. The relative merits of soft and hard thresholding are also explored. Performance in terms of mean-squared error, peak-signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and structural similarity index are provided. Under these test cases, Bayes-Shrink soft thresholding outperformed VISU-Shrink and SURE-Shrink. Bayes-Shrink soft thresholding, on average, generates an improvement of PSNR of roughly 14.5 dB. NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend. All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public. Advisor: Dr. Paul J. Gendron Committee Members: Dr. John R. Buck, Chancellor Professor, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, UMASS Dartmouth; Dr. Antonio H.
