SUMMARY:"Both Man and Beast and the Creeping Thing" by Lee Weisert
DESCRIPTION:Experience a three day sound installation by composer and UNC composition professor Lee Weisert. Weisert’s Both Man and Beast and the Creeping Thing will be on view in the Ackland’s ART& space February 10-12\, 2023 in connection with Good Object / Bad Object. In this new exhibition\, the Ackland examines how contemporary sculpture might employ unexpected placement\, language\, reflectivity\, accumulation\, and other strategies to subvert our understanding of how “good objects” might “behave badly.” Both Man and Beast and the Creeping Thing will likewise challenge the observer to question exactly how sculptures are “supposed to behave” in a museum setting. \nA large suspended sphere of slowly melting ice drips into a metal receptacle. A contact microphone mounted to the bottom of the receptacle tracks the rhythms of the falling drops\, triggering a computer-controlled speech sampler. Speech fragments from the Book of Genesis (The Flood) are played in order\, on a loop. Both Man and Beast and the Creeping Thing was premiered at the Elsewhere Museum in Greensboro\, NC\, and was on long term view at Western Carolina University in 2014. \nLee Weisert is a composer of instrumental and electronic music and an associate professor in the Music Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, where he teaches courses in composition\, electronic music\, and musicianship. He has degrees in music composition from the University of Colorado\, California Institute of the Arts\, and Northwestern University. Weisert’s recent music has incorporated increasingly disparate elements such as orchestral instruments\, found sounds\, field recordings\, digital synthesis\, and analog circuitry\, in an attempt to find\, “through experimentation\, tinkering\, and unconventional approaches\, a ritualistic and deeply expressive world of sound” (Dan Lippel\, New Focus Recordings). His instrumental music has been commissioned and performed by nationally recognized performers and ensembles including Stephen Drury\, the Callithumpian Consort\, ICE\, JACK Quartet\, Spektral Quartet\, Yarn/Wire\, Wild Rumpus\, Matthew McClure\, Clara Yang\, and Joann Cho.

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:2nd Friday ArtWalk: "Step This Way" Interactive Performance
DESCRIPTION:“Step This Way” is a site-specific performance featuring live music and dance by Mark Gabriel Little and Maura García. The performance takes place on and around the pARC\, an interactive playful installation designed and created by The Urban Conga on the Ackland’s Terrace. Throughout the performance\, elements of the composition and choreography will shift based on a predetermined pattern and depending on how audience members interact with the space. The performance will loop and restart throughout the evening\, with new sets beginning at 7 p.m.\, 7:30 p.m.\, 8 p.m.\, and 8:30 p.m. \n“Step This Way” transforms the seemingly unrelated elements of the Museum and the surrounding areas into a unifying performance experience\, with music and choreography that change as the environment and the people within it change throughout the duration of the piece. “Step This Way” celebrates place\, the arts\, and the capacity that we have to listen to\, relate to\, and beautifully respond to one another. \nFree and open to the public. No tickets needed. \n“Step This Way” is supported by a Grassroots grant from the Orange County Arts Commission and a gift from Allen Anderson and Tama Hochbaum. Technical support has been given by PlayMakers Repertory Company. The program is presented as part of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro 2nd Friday ArtWalk. \n— \nUNC-Chapel Hill Students can receive CLE credit for attending this performance. Scan the QR code at the event. \n—\nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nMaura García (non-enrolled Cherokee/Mattamuskeet) is a dancer\, dancemaker\, entertainer\, facilitator\, thought leader and artistic director.

SUMMARY:2nd Friday ArtWalk: "Processing Systems: Bonding by Sherrill Roland" Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin the Ackland in celebrating the newest installation in our ART& space\, Processing Systems: Bonding by Sherrill Roland\, on view from August 9\, 2024\, through July 13\, 2025. \nSherrill Roland (born 1984) is a North Carolina-based interdisciplinary artist whose practice deals with ideas of innocence\, identity\, and community; his works reimagine those notions’ social and political implications in the context of the American criminal justice system. In Processing Systems: Bonding by Sherrill Roland\, he repurposes the United States Federal and State Correctional Identification Numbers into a set of artmaking parameters through drawing with system-based materials\, including sudoku puzzles and number place games. By combining groups of correctional IDs of individuals and their family members\, he presents conceptual numerical portraits and family trees. \nDuring the 2nd Friday ArtWalk\, we will be celebrating with drinks and snacks. Roland will be onsite to talk with attendees\, as well as make some informal remarks and answer the crowd’s questions about his artwork around 7PM. \nJoin us for an evening honoring Sherrill Roland 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.
