SUMMARY:Welcome Back to Campus: Reception for “Against Nature"
DESCRIPTION:The Ackland welcomes back faculty\, students\, and staff to campus with a celebration for its newest installation in the ART& space\, Phaan Howng: Against Nature.  \nIn Against Nature\, artist Phaan Howng positions an ornate botanical composition above wainscotting that suggests the architecture of a late nineteenth-century study or parlor. The paneling’s mint green tint evokes the green interior paints used in that period\, achieved through harmful additions of arsenic. Above the wainscotting\, painted vinyl banners depict a jungle of barely contained foliage with spikes and fronds of neon reds\, electric oranges\, cerulean blues\, and bruised purples. \nDuring the evening\, we will be celebrating with non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. Phaan will be present during the evening to mingle with attendees. Around 6:15 PM\, she will briefly introduce the artwork and answer any questions. \nJoin us for an evening honoring Phaan and welcoming the installation to our community\, as well as starting off the semester in a fun way! \nWe ask for folks to RSVP to give us a headcount for the event. No ticket purchase is required.
