SUMMARY:2nd Friday ArtWalk: Sunsets Dance Party with WXYC
DESCRIPTION:Sunsets Dance Party with WXYC \nA global dance party inspired by Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution)\, the seven-channel video installation by Ghost of a Dream featuring sunsets captured around the world by artists living through the COVID-19 pandemic. During the April 2nd Friday ArtWalk\, all are invited to dance together as WXYC DJs spin tunes as the sun sets on Arts Everywhere Day. \nAligned by the Sun (through the revolution) is a seven-channel video installation created specifically for the Ackland Art Museum that uses the formal positioning of the horizon line to connect each video of the sun. By overlaying images of a setting sun that align vastly different and often non-neighboring locations\, Ghost of a Dream’s Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution) offers entry points to important conversations around equality\, location\, migration\, and the environment. On view through July 3\, 2022. \n— \nThe Ackland Art Museum is operating under the guidelines of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As of March 7\, 2022\, masks are optional in our galleries.

SUMMARY:Virtual Family & Friends Sunday: Year of the Ox

EST | Zoom \nJoin intern Katie Brandao on Zoom as we learn more about the Chinese Zodiac. Sign up here \nThe Great Race: The Story of the Chinese Zodiac\, \nauthored by Christopher Corr (Age Range: 3-6) \nYouTube: Flying Silk Dance Video\nYouTube \nWe welcome you to view a unique performance from UNC’s only classical Chinese dance group\, Flying Silk. The group participates in cultural showcases across the state with the aim of introducing and educating surrounding communities on the beauty of traditional Chinese dance culture. \nCollection Connections: \nDish\, Unidentified Chinese Artist\, 1426-1435 \nVase\, Thomas Bezanson\, 1959-69 \nThe ox harkens imagery of strength and steadfastness\, but it also lends its likeness to the richly colored red of the two glazed ceramics featured above. ‘Sang de bouef’ glaze\, or oxblood\, gained prevalence in the Chinese Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and is characterized by its monochrome red. The striking coloring of ‘sang de bouef’ is achieved using copper oxide\, whose chemical composition allows for the pottery to mimic the depth of its namesake animal’s blood. \nThe Ackland holds both an original dish from an unidentified Chinese artist of the 15th century  and a mid-20th century vase from Canadian artist Thomas Bezanson in its collection\, both of which utilize the sang de bouef glaze. \nTo learn more about the history of ‘sang de bouef\,’ we encourage you to explore these resources: \n‘Sang de Bouef’ Vase\, The Cleveland Museum of Art \nVase\, called “The Flame”\, National Gallery of Art \nMetal Ox Origami Activity\nD.I.Y. Origami Metal Ox Envelope and Bookmark \nEnvelope and Bookmark Instructions (PDF) \nTo celebrate the Year of the Metal Ox\, make an ox-inspired envelope or bookmark! Activity kits are available at the Front Desk from Wednesday\, February 24 to Saturday\, February 27 for pick-up. Kits are limited to first come\, first served. Step by step directions available above! \nWant to create more Metal Ox inspired art?
