This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia Treib.Opening reception Wednesday, September 24, following the 4:30pm Art Lecture.Curated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesMore information at https://www.cliffordgallery.org/holes/*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

The Environmental Studies Program and the Earth and Environmental Geosciences Department welcome University of Nevada - Reno Associate Professor of Political Science Elizabeth Koebele to the ENST Brown Bag Series. Her work focuses on environmental policy, specifically environmental governance, water policy and management in the western United States, disaster policy, public policy theory, and qualitative/mixed methods.At this event, Dr. Koebele will explore the following topic:Governing Scarcity: Navigating the Rapids of Policy Change on the Colorado River The Colorado River is a vital resource for western North America, providing water for 40 million people and supporting billions of dollars in economic output. It is also a river in crisis: drought, climate change, and sustained overuse have led to water shortages, negative ecological impacts, and growing competition among users over the last quarter century. Drawing on insights from a recent 7,500 mile-research trip around the Colorado River Basin, Dr. Koebele will provide an on-the-ground look at how this crisis affects different parts of the basin, how decision makers have attempted to “govern scarcity” through various policy decisions, and what potential transformations in basin governance are needed to sustain this critical resource into the future.Hot wraps from Hamilton Whole Foods will be provided and will include vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free options. Please bring your own reusable water bottle. - Sep 262:00 PMColgate-Hamilton Economics Seminar Series: Peter OtienoAcademics | Persson Hall, 209
