SUMMARY:ORBITS: An exhibition of Tom Jessen\, Isabelle Maschal O’Donnell and Ian Trask
DESCRIPTION:The University of Maine’s Lord Hall Gallery presents ORBITS\, an exhibition featuring the work of three Maine-based artists who are invested in material re-use and sustainability: Tom Jessen\, Isabelle Maschal O’Donnell\, and Ian Trask from February 3 – March 14\, 2025. A reception will be held on February 7\, 2025 from 5-7pm. During the reception\, six Maine-based poets will read ekphrastic poems which they wrote about the artwork in ORBITS. The reading will take place at 6pm. Participating poets include Matt Bernier\, Monique Bouchard\, Sylvia Godreaux\, Annaliese Jakimides\, Carl Little\, and Leslie Moore. All events are free and the public is warmly welcomed. \nThe artists in ORBITS work with the excess waste that circulates around us every day including paper\, textiles\, and plastics. As these materials pass through their hands\, they are transformed into artwork and given new life. The playful colors and forms used by Jessen\, O’Donnel\, and Trask function as a surprising counterpoint to the urgency of the issues they explore such as sustainability\, waste\, and consumerism. ORBITS brings awareness to material culture and our relationship to the things around us. \nJessen’s work begins with collection. He gathers cast away food packaging and cuts it into small strips\, which are sorted by color. The paper strips are reconfigured into kaleidoscopic surfaces reminiscent of woven fabrics. O’Donnell gathers textile waste and manipulates it into quilt-like surfaces inspired by her surrounding in Maine. Her work stretches our notions of painting and the usefulness of materials. Trask bundles and wraps an assortment of materials bound for the landfill. The orbs he creates are suspended and clustered into new forms that belie their humble origins. \nQuestions can be directed to: diana.baumbach@maine.edu Additional information about the artists is available on their websites: tomjessen.com\, isabelleodonnell.com\, .iantrask.com and on Lord Hall Gallery’s Instagram\, @umaine_lordhallgallery.

SUMMARY:Talk - Energizing Equal Access: Partnering on Research for Resilience in Maine Communities and Wabanaki Tribes
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall\, UMaine\, Orono. \n\n\n\n\nVirtual attendance: Complete the registration form for Zoom connection information\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:  \n\n\n\n\nSharon Klein\, School of Economics\, UMaine\n\n\n\nCaroline Noblet\, School of Economics\, UMaine\n\n\n\n\nThe way people respond to a changing climate and the way they use energy in electricity\, heating\, and transportation are often dictated by historical patterns\, events\, and situations beyond their control. People who have been historically marginalized or disadvantaged often do not have access to the same energy-saving technologies or approaches to climate resilience as others. In this talk\, Sharon\, Caroline\, and their team will describe ongoing partnerships with Wabanaki government staff and citizen committees; citizens and local government officials from rural Maine communities; and many other communities\, people\, and entities across Maine and beyond. These multiple partnerships have a common theme: supporting community- and Wabanaki-driven climate and energy resilience efforts through research-based opportunities to address energy and environmental equity and justice. \n\n\n\nSharon Klein and Caroline Noblet are both Associate Professors in the School of Economics at the University of Maine and Mitchell Center Faculty Fellows. \n\n\n\nSharon is an interdisciplinary energy researcher and educator who uses methods based in engineering\, environmental science\, economics and other social sciences to engage students\, citizens\, governmental and non-governmental entities in understanding energy issues and making more sustainable choices. She is currently leading projects that use community-based participatory research to understand barriers\, opportunities\, and decision drivers to sustainable energy (renewable energy & energy efficiency/conservation) adoption for individuals\, communities\, and local and tribal governments. \n\n\n\nCaroline is a behavioral and experimental environmental economist with a particular focus on how people process and use information. She is currently working on projects that examine the role of risk perceptions\, choice architecture\, valuation of the environment and environmental motivation in natural resource decision making. Sharon and Caroline both enjoy the Maine outdoors\, and spending time with their children and dogs.
