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.

TOPIC:
CHARACTERIZATION OF FLOCKED ENERGY ABSORBING MATERIALS IN SPORT HELMET APPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT:
A comprehensive experimental impact characterization study of novel impact energy absorbing (IEA) materials for sport helmet pads is conducted. These novel pad materials are fabricated using University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's Flocked Energy Absorbing Material (FEAM). FEAM based IEA panels are prepared by flocking 1 to 3 mm long, 6 to 60 denier textile fibers onto a planar fabric sheet. Flocked fibers are oriented upright to the direction of compressional impact such that energy absorption occurs by the bending, buckling and inter-fiber friction of the upright flock fibers during deformation by impact loading. FEAM pad configurations were tested directly via a double lap shear jig and guided weight drop tower. IEA results of a parametric study are thus reported where the fiber material properties such as flock fiber length, diameter (denier) and flock density (number of flock fibers per area) are presented, discussed, and compared with common vinyl nitrile (VN) foam. Padding material based on FEAM configurations showed remarkable improvement when compared directly to VN foam under pre-compression and dynamic shear loading, with a 135% increase in shear strain energy density for the high impact velocity loading condition, and a 49% increase for low impact velocity condition. The IEA performance of the padding materials, in terms of both linear and angular accelerations, under impact loads were then evaluated using a linear impactor and instrumented NOCSAE head. Impacts from various directions simulate real-time helmet-to-helmet collisions while a high-speed camera is used to record and track neck flexion angles to better understand head kinematics of struck players. The best FEAM padding showed a decrease in resultant angular acceleration of the struck player head of 12.9% , 18% , 9.9%, 14.4%, 17.2%, and 14.4% when struck at 6 m/s at the front, front boss, rear, rear boss cg, rear boss nc, and side locations respectively as compared with VN foam padding.
