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: Opening Reception for “Jen Clay: Soft Night\, Watching”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ackland in celebrating the newest installation in our ART& space\, Jen Clay: Soft Night\, Watching\, on view from August 8\, 2025\, through July 12\, 2026. \nSoft Night\, Watching\, is an interactive quilted installation that invites viewers to experience an evening forest scene filled with uncanny forms and figures. Artist Jen Clay (American\, born 1985) utilizes the tactile properties of her hand-dyed cotton\, satin\, velvet\, and polyester minky fabric to create art that welcomes physical handling. Into these textiles\, she constructs flaps that hide ambiguous phrases like “You’ll always be mine\,” and “It will never be like this again” – statements that can seem optimistic or menacing. Clay combines the soft textures\, the text\, and the not-quite-familiar forms to inspire both comfort and unease. \nClay uses the strangeness of an archetypal forest as a metaphor for the sense of unfamiliarity and disorientation that can accompany mental health experiences such as hallucinations. She writes\, “I aim to confront and understand fear and anxiety\, both for myself and others. My work allows individuals to touch\, hear\, and immerse themselves in a safe space to experience uncertainty.” \nDuring the 2nd Friday ArtWalk\, we will be celebrating with drinks and snacks. Clay will be onsite to talk with attendees\, as well as make some informal remarks and answer the crowd’s questions about her artwork around 7PM. \nJoin us for an evening honoring Jen Clay and welcoming 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:Public Opening of "Phantom Limb: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2025"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ackland in celebrating the opening of 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. \nWe will be celebrating the opening with light refreshments. Brief remarks will be made at 6:15 p.m. and the MFA students will be onsite to meet and greet throughout the course of the event. \nRSVP is required. Each person RSVPing may claim a drink ticket (non-alcoholic or alcoholic); ID will be checked at the bar. \nJoin us for a fun and vibrant evening honoring the MFA students’ work and welcoming the exhibition to our community. \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. \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.

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:Exhibition Opening for "Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022"
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to an exhibition opening celebration for Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022. Join us from 7-8:30 p.m.\, with remarks by exhibition curator Laura Ritchie at 7:30 p.m. \nIn Myth & Memory\, five artists interrogate practices of history-making and history-keeping at the individual\, institutional\, and systemic level. Originating in personal narrative\, each artist engages a vocabulary of fantasy to make visible that which has been forgotten\, obscured\, or erased by white heteropatriarchal modes of dominance. Through intimate gestures and acts of subversion\, they reframe the lens through which memory is archived to tell new stories from a restructured past. Their work imagines potential futures in which marginalized bodies are not under siege. \nParticipating artists are the five UNC-Chapel Hill Class of 2022 Master of Fine Arts in studio art candidates: Raj Bunnag\, Charlie Dupee\, Hugo Ljungbäck\, Phượng Duyên Hải Nguyễn\, and Stella Rosalie Rosen. Myth & Memory is curated by Laura Ritchie ’10 (MFA)\, a curator\, arts administrator\, and cultural worker in Durham\, North Carolina; she is a founder and former Executive Director of The Carrack. \nThis exhibition is made possible by the generous support of Maryanna and Will Johnson and The Seymour and Carol Levin Foundation.
