About the exhibition
Encompassing Lacy’s critical politics and the formal hybridity characteristic of her projects, Cooper Gallery hosts a unique exhibition of material drawn from her highly lauded 2013 project for Creative Time and the Brooklyn Museum in New York City; Between the Door and the Street. Featuring a selection of texts, archival material and a three-channel video installation, Cooper Gallery captures Lacy’s and those she worked with, absolute sense of urgency to tackle how the politics of women’s bodies enter into the realms of public discourse and governmental policy.
Developing out of six months of conversations between Lacy, 400 women and a few men from activist groups in New York City, Between the Door and the Street culminated in a one-day performative public action that took place on 64 stoops in a Brooklyn neighbourhood. Witnessed by over 2500 people who entered the closed-off street, the performance audience became a ‘listening voyeur’ to unscripted conversations among groups of women, identified by yellow pashmina scarves, seated on the steps and porches of individual homes. Choreographed by activist inspired and group generated questions on gender, race, ethnicity and class, the conversations weaved together multiple intergenerational narratives that grappled with the politics of immigration, labour, poverty, all of which have significant impacts on women’s lives.
Artist's Biography
Suzanne Lacy is renowned as a pioneer in socially engaged and public performance art. Her installations, videos, and performances deal with sexual violence, rural and urban poverty, incarceration, labour and aging. Lacy’s large-scale projects span the globe, including England, Colombia, Ecuador, Spain, Ireland and the U.S.
In 2019 she had a career retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and at Yerba Buena Art Center. Her work has been reviewed in major periodicals and books and she exhibits in museums across the world. Also known for her writing, Lacy edited Mapping the Terrain: New Genre Public Art and authored Leaving Art: Writings on Performance, Politics, and Publics, 1974-2007. She is a professor at the Roski School of Art and Design at the University of Southern California and a resident artist at 18th Street Arts Centre.

Very Small Things by Michael Whittle, 2002
“Be faithful in small things, because it is in them that your strength lies.” – Mother Teresa
This exhibition highlights parts of the University’s museum collections that relate to the small, the minute, the microscopic. From molecular models to microscope slides and from embryos to babies, our collections reveal a world of the minuscule and how we have collected, studied and interpreted it over the years.
The exhibition is open Monday - Friday 9.30am - 7pm (last entry 5pm). Please note that the galleries will be closed on Fri 18 and Mon 21 April for Easter weekend.

Non-proteinaceous ubiquitination by DELTEX family ubiquitin ligases
No
Research
Host: Virginia De Cesare
Venue: MSI Small Lecture Theatre, SLS
Abstract:
Post-translational modification by ubiquitin, catalyzed by the E1-E2-E3 enzyme cascade, regulates diverse cellular processes. This modification primarily occurs between the C-terminus of ubiquitin and ε-amino group of lysine, as well as hydroxyl and thiol groups on proteins. Increasing evidence has revealed the attachment of ubiquitin to non-proteinaceous substrates, including lipids and carbohydrates. Our group has discovered a family of E3 ligases called DELTEX, which share conserved domains that recognize non-proteinaceous substrates such as ADP-ribose and single-stranded nucleic acids and catalyze their ubiquitination. In this talk, I will present these findings.
Bio:
Danny Huang is a Senior Group Leader at the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute (formerly known as the CRUK Beatson Institute) and holds a professorship at the University of Glasgow. He obtained his PhD in biochemistry and enzymology from the University of Sydney, Australia, in 2002. He then carried out postdoctoral training in Dr. Brenda Schulman’s lab at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where he became interested in understanding the process of ubiquitination and uncovered the structural mechanism of the E1 enzyme. In 2009, he started his independent research group at the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research (now known as CRUK Scotland Institute). The primary goal of his research is to elucidate the mechanisms of ubiquitin ligases and exploit this process for potential cancer therapies. His group has made several key contributions to understanding the mechanisms of ubiquitin ligases (PMID: 22266821, PMID: 22902369, PMID: 23851457, PMID: 25801170, PMID: 29053960, PMID: 32350255, PMID: 32937373, PMID: 32948590, PMID: 35027744, PMID: 39377462).
