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: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 Conversation: Radical Ceramicists in North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:This program is now FULL. To be added to our WAITLIST\, please email acklandRSVP@unc.edu. \n  \n  \nJoin us for a lively artist conversation exploring themes of experimentation\, materiality\, and process in the work of North Carolina-based ceramic artists Jessica Dupuis (UNC-Pembroke; MFA ’10)\, Hitomi Shibata (Studio Touya\, Seagrove\, NC)\, and Isys Hennigar (BFA ’17) in the context of the innovative works by contemporary Japanese women artists on view in Radical Clay. The conversation will be moderated by the Ackland’s Head of Interpretive Resources Lillian Rodriguez\, part of the Museum’s Education and Interpretation Team. \n  \nSpace is limited; please register for a free ticket below! \n  \n— \n  \nAbout Radical Clay: Contemporary Women Artists from Japan \n  \nRadical Clay celebrates thirty-six contemporary ceramic artists — all women — represented by works selected from the private collection of Carol and Jeffrey Horvitz. All have explored the technical and conceptual possibilities of clay. The works in this exhibition are inventive and expressive\, at times mysterious or even shocking. The artists who created them are among the most technically accomplished contemporary ceramists. Some began their careers several decades ago while others started more recently — and over the past fifty years they have\, each in her distinctive way\, produced sculpture that pushes the physical limits of the medium. More about Radical Clay: https://ackland.org/exhibition/radical-clay-contemporary-women-artists-from-japan/.  \n  \nAbout the Artists \n  \nJessica Dupuis received her MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her BFA with a concentration in ceramics and print media from Alfred University. Dupuis exhibits her work regionally and nationally. She has been a resident artist at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and Women’s Studio Workshop as well as a recipient of the International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award and an Ella Fountain Pratt Emerging Artists Grant from the Durham Arts Council. She is an Associate Professor of Art – Ceramics & A.D. Gallery Director at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. More about Dupuis: https://www.jessicadupuis.com/.  \n  \nIsys Hennigar‘s work explores myth and narrative surrounding the body and the natural world. Referencing agricultural practice\, mythology\, and medicine\, the work considers systems of sustenance and healing\, cultural and ecological legacies of land cultivation\, and dualities of the body. In dialogue with clay’s metaphorical relationship to the body\, as well as with histories of metal adornment and objects of protection\, her work invokes real and reimagined ecological encounters that underscore transformation and hybridity as tools of renewal. Hennigar received her BFA from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and her MFA from the University of Georgia. Exhibitions of her work include Signature Contemporary Craft (Atlanta\, GA)\, Sow & Tailor Gallery (Los Angeles\, CA)\, The American Museum of Ceramics (Pomona\, CA)\, and the North Carolina Museum of Art (Raleigh\, NC). She is currently in residence as the 2025 Brightwork Fellow at Anchorlight in Raleigh\, NC. More about Hennigar: https://www.isyshennigar.com/. \n  \nHitomi Shibata creates ceramic works from natural clays\, using wood firing in her process\, giving them a sustainable energy and life. Shibata started learning ceramic art in Okayama\, Japan as a college student\, and after graduation moved to Shigaraki which is one of the oldest Japanese pottery towns. She lived and established her skill and knowledge as a professional potter in Shigaraki. Shibata received a scholarship by Rotary International to come to the USA to learn American ceramics in 2001. Now living in Seagrove\, North Carolina\, which is the most active pottery communities in USA\, she enjoys making pots in her studio. Shibata does wood firings with her husband\, Takuro Shibata by their Anagama plus chamber kiln that they built in 2009. More about Shibata: https://www.studiotouya.com/hitomi-shibata.

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.
