SUMMARY:Ocean Bodies\, A Solo Exhibit by Kimberly Callas
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University’s Ice House Gallery presents Ocean Bodies\, a powerful solo exhibition by multimedia artist Kimberly Callas. The exhibition will open on February 6\, 2025\, with an evening reception from 5:30 to 7:30 PM\, and will run through April 27\, 2025. Ocean Bodies offers an immersive exploration of humanity’s interconnectedness with the ocean\, drawing on symbols\, archetypes\, and ecological narratives to invite contemplation and action. \nThrough sculptures\, large-scale drawings\, and mixed-media works\, Callas examines the “crisis of meaning” at the heart of the climate crisis and advocates for a shift in consciousness toward an “ecological self.” This concept\, central to her work\, reflects humanity’s integral role within nature rather than apart from it. In Ocean Bodies\, she uses water-based materials\, such as dyed fabrics\, India ink\, and water-soluble graphite\, to invoke the sea’s physical presence while exploring the symbolic depth of whales\, the horizon\, and the ocean itself as metaphors for the psyche and cosmos. \nAmong the featured works is a series of 10-foot mixed-media drawings inspired by historical nautical charts\, which pair psychological journeys with the migration of critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. Complementing these works are colorful life-size figurative sculptures and reliefs\, 3D-printed using bio-filament\, that further explore themes of renewal and interconnection. Through these works\, Callas poses urgent questions about the loss of meaning\, wisdom\, and biodiversity in the Anthropocene. \n“The ocean has a unique way to connect with people in an immediate and emotional way. Science and data can only tell us so much; art can speak to each of us in a way that is both uniquely personal and universal. Having Kimberly as the Urban Coast Institute artist-in-residence provided inspiration for some of the artwork in the Ocean Bodies exhibit\, which will in turn inspire others. She was also able to share her creative process with her students\, conducting lectures and using her art and sculpture as a pathway to ‘discovering the ecological self.’ This work reminds us that the worlds of art and science are two sides of the same coin\,” said Tony MacDonald\, J.D.\, Director\, Urban Coast Institute. \nCallas created much of the work in Ocean Bodies during an artist residency with Monmouth University’s Urban Coast Institute\, with additional research conducted at the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) and an artist residency at the Arts Quarter Budapest. This body of work seeks to merge art\, science\, and archetypal symbols to foster a deeper understanding of humanity’s place within the natural world and inspire meaningful environmental action. \nAbout the Artist \nKimberly Callas is a multimedia artist\, sculptor\, and the lead artist of the Social Practice project Discovering the Ecological Self. Her work delves into the human/nature relationship\, focusing on the concept of the ecological self. Recently\, she has incorporated cutting-edge technologies\, such as 3D printing with bio-filaments and CNC\, into her life-size sculptures. Art New England described her series Portrait of the Ecological Self as “unforgettable.” \nCallas’s work often involves community engagement. With her Discovering the Ecological Self social practice project\, featured in The Huffington Post\, she has led workshops across the U.S. and internationally. Her art has been showcased in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide\, earning her numerous awards and grants\, including the Pollination Project Grant\, the Urban Coast Artist-in-Residence award\, and the Puffin Foundation Grant. Her accolades include First Place in Sculpture at the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club’s Annual Exhibit in New York City. \nCallas’s recent exhibitions include the International New Media Exhibit at the CICA Museum in South Korea\, Crossing Boundaries: Art and the Future of Energy at the Pensacola Museum of Art\, and Ocean Swimmers (Entanglement)\, a solo exhibition in Budapest. In May 2025\, she will unveil a public art commission for the Lambert Castle Renovation in Paterson\, New Jersey. \nCallas holds an MFA from the New York Academy of Art and a BFA from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Monmouth University and maintains studios in Maine and New Jersey. \nEvent Details: \nExhibition: Ocean Bodies\nLocation: Ice House Gallery\, Monmouth University\, 400 Cedar Ave # 600\, West Long Branch\, NJ 07764\nOpening Reception: February 6\, 2025\, 5:30–7:30 PM\nExhibition Dates: February 6\, 2025 – April 27\, 2025\nGallery Hours: Mon-Fri\, 10am-5pm\, \nFor additional information\, please contact Scott Knauer\, 732.923.4786  or visit https://kimberlycallas.com/. \n

SUMMARY:Louisa May Alcott\, Little Women
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Louisa May Alcott\, Little Women. \nNominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read \nIt is no surprise that Little Women\, the adored classic of four devoted sisters\, was loosely based on Louisa May Alcott’s own life. In fact\, Alcott drew from her own personality to create a heroine unlike any seen before: Jo\, willful\, headstrong\, and undoubtedly the backbone of the March family. Follow the sisters from innocent adolescence to sage adulthood\, with all the joy and sorrow of life in between\, and fall in love with them and this endearing story. Praised by Madeleine Stern as “a book on the American home\, and hence universal in its appeal\,” Little Women has been an avidly read tale for generations. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:STEMming from Punk Rock (Works in Progress Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Jeffrey H. Weisburg\, Ph.D.\, Specialist Professor\, Department of Biology \nPunk rock usually conjures images of teenagers or young adults (you know\, the dregs of society) with spiked\, colorful hair\, tattoos\, piercing\, wearing ripped jeans\, Doc Martin combat boots\, dancing violently to bass-pounding music in a hot and sweaty\, small music venue. Ph.D. in the sciences\, engineers\, and pre-med students are the furthest thing that comes to mind. Three lead singers of landmark punk bands have Ph.D.s in biology; Milo Aukerman of the Descendents (Biology)\, Greg Graffin of Bad Religion (Zoology)\, and Dexter Holland of the Offsprings (Molecular Biology). Several other punk rock artists also have graduate degrees in biology and engineering. This leads to the scientific question that needs to be examined and answered: What is the connection between punk rock and science? Is there something in the water? Is it genetics? Is it a chemical reaction that occurs when two people in the circle pit collide? All possibilities for this question will be investigated.

SUMMARY:Saint Omer
DESCRIPTION:Rama\, a literature professor and novelist\, travels from Paris to Saint-Omer to observe the trial of Laurence Coly and write about the case. Coly is a student and Senegalese immigrant accused of leaving her 15-month-old daughter on a beach to be swept away by the tide in Berck. Rama\, who is four-months pregnant and\, like Coly\, is in a mixed-race relationship and has a complex relationship with her own Senegalese immigrant mother\, feels a personal connection to Coly. She plans to write a modern day retelling of the Greek Medea myth about the case. As she learns more about Coly’s life and the isolation Coly experienced from her family and society while living in France\, Rama becomes increasingly anxious about her own life and pregnancy. \nThere will be a post screening Q&A hosted by Marina Vujnovic with special guest speaker Prof. Julius Adekunle.
