SUMMARY:The 11th Annual Symposium of the Art Student Graduate Organization - “Anachronic Enchantment: Temporalities in Visual and Material Culture"
DESCRIPTION:The symposium will be held in-person at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Saturday\, February 28 from 9:00 AM- 2:30 PM. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A session and are open to a general audience. \nWhen something is described as anachronistic\, it is often to say that it is contradictory\, inconsistent\, illogical\, or misplaced. Essentially\, to be anachronistic is to exist outside of historical time. However\, has science not demonstrated that time is relative? Is temporality\, meaning our relationship with time\, not subject to change? Instead of anachronistic\, Alexander Nagel and Christopher Wood have coined the term anachronic to refer to art that has “witnessed time.” Art historian\, Keith Moxey\, adds that anachronicity is the ability of objects “to exceed the parameters of their chronological circumstances.” \nWith this in mind\, this symposium considers temporality as its central framework and invites interdisciplinary reflection on how time is constructed\, experienced\, and represented across humanistic study. By foregrounding temporal frameworks\, we seek to interrogate whose times are privileged\, silenced\, or contested\, and how alternative conceptions of time challenge dominant narratives. Central to this inquiry are questions that examine how artists have engaged with temporality to construct new and alternative histories; how meaning and interpretation inevitably shift across time\, requiring us to reconsider our own scholarly and curatorial practices; and how ephemeral forms of art disrupt and complicate traditional art historical methods.

SUMMARY:2nd Friday ArtWalk: "Phantom Limb" Artist Workshops and Tours
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special 2nd Friday ArtWalk focused on the newly-opened exhibition Phantom Limb: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2025! Drop in throughout the night for hands-on workshops with two of the artists whose work is on view or hop on a mini tour of the exhibition by its curator. \nThe Museum is open until 9 p.m. tonight and\, as always\, offers free admission.  \n  \n— \n  \nAbout Phantom Limb: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2025 \nA phantom limb is the sensation of a part of one’s body still being present when it has been removed. In science and philosophy\, the phenomenon has been used to understand how we link the mind and body\, localize pain\, and exhibit the lasting effects of trauma. In this exhibition\, the artists of the graduating Master of Fine Arts in studio art class of 2025 examine the ways in which something can be missing\, through erasure\, force\, trickery\, chance\, or misfortune; nevertheless\, a legacy\, aura\, or presence can still be felt. Rebecca Pempek depicts fantastical images of the body in an effort to make sense of pain. John Felix Arnold reimagines landscapes of the American South to consider the ways they hold onto legacies of labor and violence. Dominique Muñoz’s installation uses personal family archives to simultaneously conjure and erase the presence of loved and lost ones. Carson Whitmore builds on utilitarian objects that are rendered useless\, lead to nowhere\, and are missing parts. Together\, all four artists address loss\, whether personal or environmental\, and how we cope with its lingering effects. \n  \nPhantom Limb: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2025 is curated by Julianne Miao\, curatorial associate at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. \n  \nThis exhibition is made possible by the generous support of Carol Cole Levin\, Vincent Joseph Kopp and Katherine Craft Kopp\, and Maryanna and Will Johnson. \n  \nhttps://ackland.org/exhibition/phantom-limb-selected-works-by-the-mfa-class-of-2025/

SUMMARY:Bettie Allison Rand Lectures in Art History: Stephanie Porras\, Tulane University
DESCRIPTION:The Ackland is pleased to host the UNC Department of Art and Art History’s Bettie Allison Rand Lecture in Art History featuring guest speaker Stephanie Porras (Tulane University) on “Ivory across Empires.” \nThe talk is free and open to the public. Seating is first come\, first served. Read below for additional details about the talk and speaker. \nIvory across Empires\nConsidering a range of seventeenth-century ivory objects made in Manila\, Goa\, Ceylon and Mexico\, this talk proposes a different narrative about empire. While these ivory sculptures certainly testify to the widespread use of imported European models\, the range of ivory carvings done across Asia\, also are part of a broader history of the creative agency of Asian makers in responding to European tastes and to the expanding global market for their work\, via both the Manila galleon and circum-African sea trade. Foregrounding the material of ivory and its varied uses\, and seeing these objects in dialogue with one another\, also gestures towards an alternative history of Portuguese and Spanish imperial ambitions in Asia\, as well as the motivations of different Asian empires\, from the kingdom of Kotte in Sri Lanka to the Ming and later Qing dynasties in China. For ivory operated between and across empires\, and this talk examines the various trade routes\, as well as the mobility of materials\, models and artists who produced ivories for an emerging global art market. \nStephanie Porras is Professor of Art History and Chair of the Newcomb Art Department at Tulane University. Her research interests include the visual and material culture of Northern Europe\, the Spanish world\, and the Dutch Atlantic from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Her latest book\, The First Viral Images: Maerten de Vos\, Antwerp print and the early modern globe (PSU press\, 2023) traces the complex production and reception histories of an illustrated book\, a painting and an engraving\, all made in Antwerp in the late sixteenth century\, but copied by Venetian print publishers\, Spanish and Latin American painters\, Mughal miniaturists and by Filipino ivory carvers. Most recently\, she is also the co-editor\, along with Stephen Campbell\, The Routledge Companion to the Global Renaissance\, a volume of forty essays\, introducing objects made across the early modern world; appearing later this year is another co-edited volume\, The Dutch Americas: art histories of the Atlantic World\, with Aaron Hyman. \nThrough a generous gift to the UNC Arts and Sciences Foundation\, William G. Rand established this lecture series in memory of his late wife\, Bettie Allison Rand. This funding allows the Department of Art and Art History to bring one or more eminent art historians to UNC-CH every other year for residencies of various lengths. While they are in Chapel Hill\, these scholars present a series of lectures and interact with undergraduate and graduate art history and studio art students. Following the campus visit\, the scholars prepare a manuscript\, which is then published by the UNC Press as part of the Rand Series of art history publications.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk & Panel with Sherrill Roland
DESCRIPTION:This program is now FULL. To be added to our WAITLIST\, please email acklandRSVP@unc.edu. \n  \nUsing Sherrill Roland’s piece Processing Systems: Bonding as a jumping off point\, this artist talk and panel will explore artistic expression\, the American carceral system\, and the visualization of data. After a discussion of Roland’s monumental numerical portraits on view at the Ackland\, Roland will be joined by panelists Bharati Zvara\, Associate Professor in the Department of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) in the Gillings School of Global Public Health\, and Kylie Seltzer\, art historian and Carolina Public Humanities Zietlow Postdoctoral Fellow. The program will be moderated by Lauren Turner\, associate curator for contemporary art and special projects at the Ackland. \nPresented in partnership with Carolina Public Humanities.   \n— \nSherrill Roland’s interdisciplinary practice deals with concepts of innocence\, identity\, and community; reimagining their social and political implications in the context of the American criminal justice system. For more than three years\, Roland’s right to self-determination was lost to a wrongful incarceration. After spending ten months in prison for a crime he was later exonerated for\, he returned to his artistic practice\, which he now uses as a vehicle for self-reflection and an outlet for emotional release. Converting the haunting nuances of his experiences into drawings\, sculptures\, multimedia objects\, performances\, and participatory activities\, Roland shares his story and creates space for others to do the same\, illuminating the invisible costs\, damages\, and burdens of incarceration. Roland is an assistant professor of Studio Art in Sculpture at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. https://www.sherrillroland.com/ \nKylie Seltzer is an architectural historian\, educator\, digital humanist\, and community builder whose work focuses on dismantling white supremacy and creating a more equitable world. An award winning scholar and teacher\, Kylie is committed to using her humanistic background and historical knowledge to solve today’s problems. Her doctoral research analyzed the ways that architecture and built forms were used to popularize race theory in the 19th century. This pseudoscience represents the foundation for white supremacist ideologies of the present day. Seltzer is currently the Zietlow Postdoctoral Fellow at Carolina Public Humanities. https://kylierjseltzer.com/ \nDr. Bharathi Zvara is an Associate Professor in the Department of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. She is a developmental psychologist whose main research interest is in the emotional and behavioral development in young children. A central focus of her research is to characterize the effects of early-life adversity and trauma and identify the biological and behavioral mechanisms through which early childhood experiences impact growth and development. Her work documents the key role of the family system\, responsive caregiving practices\, and the broader environment in which children live and develop. Her goal is to produce translatable knowledge to inform policies and programs that ultimately improve the lives of children and families. https://sph.unc.edu/adv_profile/bharathi-j-zvara-phd/

SUMMARY:2nd Friday ArtWalk: Georgie Nakima Installation Reception
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin the Ackland in celebrating Georgie Nakima’s new installation\, Pantheress\, in our ART& space. \nGeorgie Nakima is a North Carolina-based multi-disciplinary artist with a focus on public art and the relationship between 2D and 3D space. Georgie’s formal background in life sciences and research inspires her to bridge the network of ecosystems into her work both literally and figuratively\, reminding us of the intersectionality of our shared world. This work is rooted in Afrofuturism as an offering to affirm the intergenerational connection and testimony of the Black Diaspora. \nDuring tonight’s 2nd Friday ArtWalk\, we will be celebrating with colorful summer drinks\, and an assortment of playful popcorn flavors from The Mad Popper. Nakima will be onsite at 7 p.m. to meet and greet. \nJoin us for a fun and vibrant evening honoring Georgie Nakima and welcoming the the installation to our community. \nRSVP is required. Each person RSVPing may claim a drink ticket (non-alcoholic or alcoholic); ID will be checked at the bar. \n

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Om Shanti Om" (2007)
DESCRIPTION:A murder-mystery and romance combine in this Indian cult film that caps off our Global Cult Cinema series. \nOm Shanti Om\nFarah Khan\, 2007\, India\, 2h 42m \nIntroduction by Priya Shanker\, UNC-Wilmington \nFILM SYNOPSIS \nIn the 1970s\, Om\, an aspiring actor\, is murdered\, but is immediately reincarnated into the present day. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise and find Shanti\, the love of his previous life. \nTICKETS \nFree tickets are available at the Varsity Theatre\, 123 E. Franklin Street\, Chapel Hill \n— \nABOUT THE GLOBAL CULT CINEMA SERIES \nFrom Rocky Horror Picture Show to The Big Lebowski\, cult classics are movies that become objects of adulation for their most dedicated fans. While some cult classics are good movies by conventional standards\, others are famous precisely because the director was more interested in having a good time than winning awards. In this series\, we’ll show four global cult classics (or soon to-be classics)\, including Çetin İnanç’s 1982 science-fiction action film Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (“The Man Who Saved the World”)\, which infamously “borrowed” special effects sequences from Star Wars and Lo Wei’s 1972 film The Big Boss\, which made Bruce Lee an international star. Tears of the Black Tiger pays homage to Thai action films and melodramas of the 1950s\, crossing that indelible line between reverence and parody. Om Shanti Om also pays tribute to a golden era of filmmaking\, only in this case it’s concerned with recreating the over-the-top dance numbers of 1970s Bollywood filmmaking. \nThe Spring 2022 Global Cult Cinema series\, co-organized by the Ackland Art Museum and the Film Studies Program in the Department of English and Comparative Literature\, is presented in connected with an installation in Ackland Upstairs\, the Museum’s second floor gallery featuring short term displays of works being used in conjunction with university classes. This semester\, visitors can find examples of posters from the Ackland’s collection on display for Research Methods in Film Studies: Histories of Moviegoing.

SUMMARY:Radical Healing and Decoloniality: Museums in Transition
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Amanda Maples\, Curator of African Art at the NC Museum of Art\, is part of UNC Chapel Hill’s African Studies Center’s Decolonizing African Studies Series.  \nWith the advent of global protests urgently calling for social justice and the end of systemic racism\, museums have been called upon to reflect on their own institutional histories and grapple with the role they have played in perpetuating stereotypes and inequities—both in gallery and collections representation\, and within their administration. A critical aspect of this relatively recent pursuit to decolonize includes facing the violence at play in colonial and imperial histories\, and making efforts towards reparations more broadly. Such momentum has catapulted museums into a period of transition and their responsibilities are fundamentally changing towards creating space for radical healing. \nRegister here for this free virtual talk! \nOrganized by the African Studies Center\, College of Arts and Sciences\, UNC-Chapel Hill.

Among them is the handsome hero Dum\, who became unwillingly involved in the bandit life. Dum made a promise to his upper-crust lover Rumpoey: despite the class difference\, they will get married. When the moment of reunion arrives\, Dum gets involved in a fire fight and cannot possibly reach Rumpoey in time. She is desperate: her father has married her off to a policeman. The taciturn Dum\, called the ‘Black Tiger’ by his co-conspirators\, does everything in his power to reach her\, but fate gets in the way: his gang leader suspects him of treachery and his blood brother turns into his greatest enemy. Will the two lovers ever meet up? This urgent question propels the melodrama forward\, supported by exciting music\, spectacular shootouts and heroic duels.” —Anonymous (IMDB) \nTICKETS \nFree tickets available at the Varsity Theatre\, 123 E.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Filibus" Watch Party and Panel
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, in collaboration with the Film Studies Programs in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at UNC-Chapel Hill\, the Ackland Film Forum continues its all virtual series on Queer Cinema\, now expanding to a selection of four international films for a look at Global Queer Cinema. View the selected films on your own or join us for a watch party. Watch parties will be followed by a live post-film panel discussion with scholars from around the globe. \nThe first film in the Global Queer Cinema series will be Filibus (Mario Roncoroni\, 1915\, Italy). The film will be available to stream January 29-February 4\, 2021 with a watch party on Tuesday\, February 2 at 7:30 p.m. followed by a live panel discussion at 9 p.m. Register below to receive a link to stream the film and a link to attend the panel via Zoom on February 2. \nThis program is sponsored by UNC University Libraries. The series is supported in part by Laughing Gull Foundation. \nAbout Filibus \nDirected by Mario Roncoroni and scripted by future science fiction author Giovanni Bertinetti\, Filibus is the most exciting\, witty\, feminist\, steampunk\, cross-dressing aviatrix thriller you will ever see! Previously seen in a badly subtitled\, imperfect version\, Filibus was recently remastered by the Eye Filmmuseum\, restoring the film’s marvelous range of Desmet tinting and toning in the original nitrate material. To bring the film back to its flavor of the period — when the characters Fantomas and Arsène Lupin were worldwide sensations — Milestone hired young poet Austin Renna to write new intertitles based on an improved translation by Eye’s archivist Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi. To go with this fantastical film\, the famed Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra AND Donald Sosin have created two new stunning scores! –Milestone Films \n  \nTuesday\, February 2\, 2021\nFilibus Watch Parties | Tweet along with Ackland and UNC Film Studies using #AcklandFilmForum \n7:30 p.m. Watch Party  \n9:00 p.m. Panel \nLink to the panel is provided with registration. Streaming links will be sent at a later date. Registration is open!

SUMMARY:Last Look Tour: "The Beautiful Brain"
DESCRIPTION:On the exhibition’s final day\, join Peter Nisbet\, Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs\, for a final reflection on the captivating Cajal drawings and contemporary scientific images of The Beautiful Brain. \n\nAbout The Beautiful Brain \nSantiago Ramón y Cajal’s drawings of the brain are both aesthetically astonishing and scientifically significant. The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal is the first museum exhibition to present these amazing works within their historical context. \nScientists throughout the world know Cajal (1852–1934) as the father of the study of the structure and function of the brain—i.e. modern neuroscience. One of his most important discoveries was that individual cells called neurons make up the brain (most late-19th century scientists believed that the brain was a continuous\, interconnected network). The centerpiece of The Beautiful Brain is 80 original drawings by Cajal lent by the Cajal Institute in Madrid\, Spain. Contemporary neuroscience imagery provides a context for these remarkable works. Read more… \n  \n  \n\nThe Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal was organized by the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota with the Cajal Institute\, Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)\, Madrid\, Spain. \n \nThe Ackland presentation of this exhibition has been made possible in part by generous support from Betsy Blackwell & John Watson and the UNC Neuroscience Center at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine. \n\nSantiago Ramón y Cajal\, calyces of Held in the nucleus of the trapezoid body\, 1934\, ink and pencil on paper. 5 5/8 × 3 5/8 in.
