Harpur Cinema Presents: Killer of Sheep

Charles Burnett, 1977, 60 min.

Friday, September 12, 2025, and Sunday, September 14, 2025: Lecture Hall 6, 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm. $4 Single Admission.

Charles Burnett's cinematic masterpiece Killer of Sheep, magnificently restored in 4K with sparkling picture and sound, is one of the crown jewels of the Black indie filmmaking movement known as the L.A. Rebellion. The film evokes the everyday trials, fragile pleasures, and tenacious humor of blue-collar African Americans living in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s. Burnett made it on a minuscule budget with a mostly nonprofessional cast, combining keen on-the-street observation with a carefully crafted script.

Kenneth C. Lindsay Study Room, ÄÛÌïÑо¿Ôº¹ÙÍø Art Museum
HOUSING MATERIALS AND METHODS WORKSHOP with Luisa Casella, Paper Conservator
Kenneth C. Lindsay Study Room, ÄÛÌïÑо¿Ôº¹ÙÍø Art Museum
Monday, September 29, 5:30–7:30 pm

Free for up to 15 people, including preparators, art and art history students, curators,
and other staff. To register, contact Jessica Petrylak (jpetrylak@binghamton.edu)

The workshop addresses the essential knowledge needed for both those who handle
and care for collections and artists who create artworks. Understanding the appropriate
materials and methods for housing and presenting works is crucial to prevent damage
and ensure the longevity of objects on display and storage. This knowledge benefits
museum staff, students, and professional artists alike, helping them make informed
choices about materials and techniques.

Workshop Structure:
- Welcome and introduction of participants.
- Overview of workshop goals.
- Housing Materials: Present different types of materials, highlighting different
components and how they interact with other materials
- The Museum Approach: Standard housing and display methods that can be
streamlined, as well as examples of customized solutions.
- Display Methods and Artistic Intent: Explore how housing and presentation
relate to an artist’s intent, using examples like Georgia O'Keeffe, who adapted
her methods based on how materials affected her work over time. Discuss
unconventional contemporary approaches such as taping or tacking artworks
directly to walls, doing away with glazing, etc. emphasizing that each choice
should be a conscious decision that balances artistic intent with the safest
approach for the material.
- Participants will practice various hinging methods, and experiment with
ready-made materials (both commercial, such as corners and adhesive tapes, as
well as custom, such as re-moistenable tissues).

Materials Provided:
All necessary tools will be provided including blotters, spatulas, X-Acto knives, a variety
of papers, tapes, papers, and adhesives. Participants will take home educational
materials (bibliography, instructions, material samples, a list of suppliers, and study
collection pieces that they will have used to practice different attachment methods).

Hyuna Kwon Professor Mechanical Engineering ÄÛÌïÑо¿Ôº¹ÙÍø Atomistic insights into materials chemistry: From first principles to machine learning Understanding and controlling the atomic-scale behavior of functional materials is essential for advancing a wide range of emerging applications. Despite significant advances over the past few decades, predicting materials properties under real-world conditions with computational chemistry remains a major challenge.  In this talk, I will discuss how machine learning (ML) can be integrated with first-principles simulations to drive materials development and optimization across multiple fronts. Using perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as a case study, I will demonstrate how ML uncovers hidden structure-property relationships in molecular systems, particularly in relation to molecular fingerprints influencing degradability and bioactivity. I will also describe how ML, combined with molecular dynamics simulations, enables efficient exploration of molecular reactivity and transport at highly heterogeneous interfaces. In particular, I will show that controlling confinement, surface chemistry, and topology of nanoscale oxides provides a promising strategy for accelerating chemical reactions, such as those relevant to hydrogen production via solar water splitting. Furthermore, I will highlight how ML can enhance materials characterization by extracting subtle structural features from spectroscopic measurements. Specifically, I will present an ML- based approach leveraging state-of-the-art diffusion models to reconstruct three-dimensional atomic structures of disordered systems from X-ray absorption spectroscopy. I will conclude by discussing future directions for developing scalable computational frameworks that bridge first-principles modeling and data-driven approaches, ultimately accelerating materials discovery and experimental validation. Hyuna Kwon received her PhD in chemical and environmental engineering from the University of California at Riverside, and her BS in energy resources engineering and chemical biological engineering from Seoul National University. She was a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum Simulations Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory before joining ÄÛÌïÑо¿Ôº¹ÙÍø as an assistant professor in 2025. Her research integrates atomistic modeling (such density functional theory) and machine learning to accelerate materials discovery. She develops generative AI models and data-driven methods for spectroscopy interpretation,Ìý materials stability prediction and inverse design. She also applies ML- accelerated molecular dynamics to uncover mechanisms in complex systems, including interfacial reactions Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025 Smart Energy Building -- SN 1001A (Fountain Room) 11:00 AM
