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: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.
