1. Made Bayak Events
Made Bayak was born in 1980 in Tampaksiring, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Indonesia. He completed his studies at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Denpasar in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia in 2006. His work addresses the human devastation of the Indonesian genocide of 1965-66 and the environmental devastation of the Balinese island's once-pristine environment caused by tourism-driven development and the lack of local awareness of best ecological practices. His methods include activism and social organization, teaching workshops, painting, drawing, sculptural objects, installations, performance art, and music performed with his heavy metal rock band Geeksmile.

5. Lecture: Lauren Fensterstock
Wednesday, March 27 at 12:20 PM
Lamar Dodd Building Room S151
American artist, curator, and writer, Lauren Fensterstock is in residence at the University of Georgia as the 2018-2019 Dodd Chair. Fensterstock is best known for creating elaborate sculptures and installations that explore the evolving history of our relationship to nature. By merging contradictory historic perspectives -- from the Baroque to the Picturesque and Minimalism -- she reveals the cultural roots of our concept of nature. Her intricate artworks are constructed in the material associated to women's crafts, such as quilled paper and shell work, emphasizing the capacity of these media to reflect on the complexities of the world beyond the domestic sphere. While in residence at the Dodd, Fensterstock will research the making of large sculptures in the form of portals. At first appearing like monumental black slabs, these portals juxtapose the stark geometries of Modernism with detailed rococo patterning, while the inclusion of black mirrors will merge real and illusory space.Fensterstock has held appointments at the Rhode Island School of Design and Virginia Commonwealth University, and previously served as Academic Program Director of the Interdisciplinary MFA in Studio Arts at Maine College of Art and as Interim Director of the Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art. She is a United States Artist Barr Fellow whose work has been the subject of major solo exhibitions at MOCA Jacksonville, The John Michael Kohler Art Center, The Bowdoin College Museum of Art, and Drexel University. Other recent and upcoming exhibitions include Rijswijk Museum, Austin Contemporary, Des Moines Art Center, Wichita Art Museum, Gibbes Museum, and the Brandywine Museum. Her work is represented by Claire Oliver Gallery in New York. Lauren holds degrees from the Parsons School of Design (BFA 1997) and SUNY New Paltz (MFA 2000).

6. In Conversation: Rebecca Rutstein and Samantha Joye
Thursday, March 28
Public reception at 6 PM
Conversation at 7 PM
Georgia Museum of Art, Griffith Auditorium
Rebecca Rutstein will visit the university for the second time this academic year following her keynote discussion at November's national conference of the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru). Rutstein will again give a public presentation with oceanographer Samantha Joye, Athletic Association Professor in Arts and Sciences in the marine sciences department of UGA's Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.
Since Rutstein's November visit, she and Joye have completed an expedition to Mexico's Guaymas Basin in the Sea of Cortez that included a deep-sea dive aboard Alvin, a submersible vessel able to withstand the crushing pressure of the extremes of the deep ocean. While scientists explored hydrothermal vents and carbon cycling processes in the basin, Rutstein set up her studio on the ship and created new works inspired by the data collected in real time.
The conversation, titled "Expeditions, Experiments and the Ocean: Adventures and Discoveries," will be moderated by Nicholas Allen, Franklin Professor of English and director of the Willson Center.
In addition to her conversation with Joye and Allen, Rutstein will give a talk at Creature Comforts Brewing Co. in downtown Athens at 4 PM Wednesday, March 27 as part of Creature Comforts' Get Artistic initiative. Please RSVP for the talk if you plan to attend:

8. Math Plus Music: Marcus Miller and Rob Schneiderman
Friday, March 29
4:30 PM: Colloquium/Conversation/Performance
Hugh Hodgson School of Music, Dancz Center (Room 264)
"Exploring the Creative Dynamics of Mathematics and Music"
8 PM: Jazz Performance
Hendershot's Coffee Bar, 237 Prince Ave.
In live musical performance and open discussion, Marcus Miller and Rob Schneiderman demonstrate/explain analogies between the dynamics of the discovery/creation/learning of both music and mathematics. As a consequence of the abstract natures of music and mathematics these analogies can provide insight into other human disciplines.
Marcus Miller graduated from Harvard University with a degree in mathematics. After a stint working for a hedge fund, he has since been traveling the world playing music, both leading his own groups as well as performing with jazz artists such as Grammy-nominated vocalist Jazzmeia Horn and Late Show musical director/pianist Jon Batiste. Miller has performed at the Obama White House, and has studied music production and engineering under grammy-winning sound engineer "Bassy" Bob Brockman (Notorious B.I.G, Herbie Hancock, D'Angelo). Miller has spoken at the New Jersey Association of Music Educators, and was noted as an Artist of Distinction by the State of New Jersey. He is the creator of theMath+Music Project, and is currently the host/creator of the Quadrivium series at New York's Museum of Mathematics, while he continues to study and teach mathematics.
Rob Schneiderman joined the Lehman College CUNY department of mathematics faculty in 2006 after a busy career as a musician,including performances and recordings with jazz luminaries such has EddieHarris, James Moody, Charles McPherson, JJ Johnson, Jimmy Heath, Clifford Jordan, Art Farmer and Harold Land, as well as 10 recordings as a leader for the Reservoir Music label and a more recent Tone Twister release on the Hollistic MusicWorks label. In 2001 Schneiderman received a PhD in mathematics from UC Berkeley under the guidance of topology guru Robion Kirby, and before his current professorship at Lehman, he had postdoc positions at the Max-Planck-Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, NYU's Courant Institute and UPenn. His research is focussed on studying 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional spaces. In addition to many research articles in mathematics journals, Rob's musicomathematical essay "Can One Hear the Sound ofa Theorem?" was published in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society and in the collection Best Writing on Mathematics 2012, Princeton University Press.
Supported by the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts, Hugh Hodgson School of Music Jazz Program, Department of Mathematics, and Ideas for Creative Exploration.

13. Call for Proposals: 2019 a2ru National Conference
Deadline: April 5
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2019-national-conference/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) invites proposals for the 2019 a2ru national conference, knowledges: artistic practice as method to take place at the University of Kansas, in Lawrence, Kansas, November 7-9, 2019. The 2019 theme is an invitation to explore modes of knowing, especially as arrived through the discovery of artistic practice. This theme is anchored in, but not limited to, the following questions:
- How do artistic practices map onto other methods of knowledge production?
- If contemporary artists are trained from the outset to be critical of their medium(s), how might this critical reflection inform more discrete disciplines, which often treat academic form as neutral vessels for the delivery of content?
- What can researchers across the arts, sciences, and humanities learn from one another's practices and approaches?
The University of Kansas, host of this year's a2ru conference, aims to infuse the arts into its research culture by advancing interdisciplinary projects across the sciences and humanities. This is accomplished through existing structures, such as the Integrated Arts Research Initiative (IARI) funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at the Spencer Museum of Art, The Commons, and the Research Excellence Initiative through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The exhibition and dialogue among artists and scholars developed through the IARI colloquium (November 6, 2019) will launch the 2019 a2ru national conference.
a2ru invites proposals for presentations from researchers, artists, field leaders, and other practitioners about arts-integrative research, practice, and curricula that explore the potential of artistic and other practice-led methods for inquiry across disciplines. In an effort to unpack different ways of knowing, proposed sessions will follow a structure that mimics the process of knowledge generation. Proposal formats will include 1) inquiries, 2) lightning talks, and 3) presentations. a2ru encourages proposals that represent diverse backgrounds, pursuits, affiliations, locations, ages, and institutions. This active format invites participants into the collective co-creation of knowledge.
