SUMMARY:American Tastes in Japanese Art: The Influence of Sherman Emery Lee
DESCRIPTION:At this free virtual talk Dr. James Ulak will offer thoughts on Sherman Emery Lee’s (1918–2008) powerful influence in directing collecting tastes in Japanese art throughout America. Lee’s advice has benefited countless private and institutional collections — including the Ackland Art Museum — from the immediate post-WWII era\, through his distinguished museum career\, and well into his retirement years. His role as a confidant to the Rockefellers is well documented and on display in the Ackland’s current extraordinary exhibition of Asian art\, Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon: Masterworks from the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection at Asia Society. In this talk\, Ulak will situate Sherman Lee in the context of America’s long interest in Japanese art and culture\, dating from the 1870s forward. Lee resisted clichés and trends to establish a clear understanding of the strength of Japan’s classical visual lineage. \nThis free virtual talk is presented in connection with Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon: Masterworks from the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection at Asia Society.  \nFree; RSVP required below. Zoom webinar links will be sent to registered participants via email. \nThis program is supported by the Orange County Arts Commission. \n— \nJames T. Ulak is the current president of the United States-Japan Foundation (serving since November 2019) and had previously spent twenty-five years at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art — Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington\, D.C.\, serving in the capacities of Senior Curator of Japanese Art\, Head of Collections and Research\, Chief Curator and Deputy Director. Preceding his tenure in Washington\, he has been affiliated with the Cleveland Museum of Art\, Yale University Art Gallery\, and The Art Institute of Chicago. Before beginning his museum career\, an interest in Japanese Buddhist iconography led Jim into a full-time academic program of Japanese art history. With an initial focus on the history of narrative painting production in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Japan\, Jim received his PhD from Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland\, Ohio) in 1994\, where he studied with Sherman Emery Lee. In addition to his interest in medieval Japanese narrative painting\, Jim has written on the genesis of modern painting styles in the early seventeenth century\, on eighteenth-century “eccentric” painters\, and on Japan’s artistic encounters with international modernity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He has developed and produced numerous exhibitions on these topics\, including major projects in partnership with Japanese institutions. During his museum career\, Jim expanded collection holdings\, created programs for curatorial training\, and engaged major corporate\, government\, and private financial support for museum programs.

SUMMARY:Artist Conversation: Christopher Myers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual conversation between artist Christopher Myers and the Ackland’s Lauren Turner\, assistant curator for the collection. Myers’s work Fish Pieta (2020)(seen at right) is a new acquisition in the Museum’s permanent collection and is featured in the 2021-2022 Close Looks series. In this free Zoom webinar\, we’ll hear from Myers about this recently-acquired work and how it fits into his larger body of work exploring global cultural exchange. \nGet free tickets to this virtual webinar below! Registered participants will receive a Zoom link in the email provided. \n— \nChristopher Myers is an artist and writer who lives in New York. While he is widely acclaimed for his work with literature for young people\, he is also an accomplished fine artist who has lectured and exhibited internationally. He writes\, “I’ve been asking the question lately\, ‘What does it mean to be an artist whose work is rooted in the experience of global cultural exchange?” \nMore than the simple small-world market-driven exchanges that mark some artists\, whose practices are rooted in the anthropological or outsourcing models of cultural exchange\, he is interested in the aesthetic bridges that have been built organically across cultures\, classes\, and geographies\, and has been creating work in those in-between spaces for years. His practice can be divided into two categories\, work by his own hands that lives in the syncretic\, the hybrid\, and the improvised\, and collaborations with artisans from around the globe\, extending the conversation of cultural movement across continents and artistic milieus. \nHe has worked with traditional shadow puppet makers in Jogjakarta\, silversmiths in Khartoum\, conceptual video artists in Vietnam\, young musicians in New Orleans\, woodcarvers in Accra\, weavers in Luxor and many other artists\, who he sees as all being part of one large conversation about the movement of culture\, and the ways that languages are borrowed globally\, traded from South to South\, in order to address the specific local concerns of people that have been thrust into contexts that range far beyond their locality. \nFrom https://www.kalyban.com/ \n— \nLive closed captioning will be provided for this event.

SUMMARY:Curator's Conversation: Introduction to "Visions of Venice"
DESCRIPTION:Join Dana E. Cowen\, Sheldon Peck Curator for European and American Art before 1950\, for an in-depth look at Visions of Venice. In this virtual discussion\, participants will learn more about the circumstances of Whistler’s 1879 trip to Venice\, his unique views of the floating city\, his experimental working method\, and how his works were received back in London. \nVisions of Venice: Etchings by James McNeill Whistler from the Collection of Ambassador C. Boyden Gray showcases thirty of Whistler’s etchings of Venice and explores some of the artist’s most picturesque and atmospheric views of the city. Through his use of varied lines\, compelling compositional motifs\, and creative printing techniques\, Whistler depicted sites unknown to the average tourist\, such as back alleyways\, obscure canals\, and working-class neighborhoods\, that challenged the expectations of nineteenth-century viewers and still captivate us today. \n

Marina is a young waitress and aspiring singer. Orlando is 20 years older than her\, and owns a printing company. After celebrating Marina’s birthday one evening\, Orlando falls seriously ill. Marina rushes him to the emergency room\, but he passes away just after arriving at the hospital. Instead of being able to mourn her lover\, suddenly Marina is treated with suspicion. The doctors and Orlando’s family don’t trust her. A woman detective investigates Marina to see if she was involved in his death. Orlando’s ex-wife forbids her from attending the funeral. And to make matters worse\, Orlando’s son threatens to throw Marina out of the flat she shared with Orlando. Marina is a trans woman and for most of Orlando’s family\, her sexual identity is an aberration\, a perversion. So Marina struggles for the right to be herself. She battles the very same forces that she has spent a lifetime fighting just to become the woman she is now – a complex\, strong\, forthright and fantastic woman. \nThis event is supported in part by Laughing Gull Foundation. \nA Fantastic Woman Watch Party | Tweet along with Ackland and UNC Film Studies using #AcklandFilmForum \n7:30 p.m. Watch Party  \n*Please note there is a space between the letters and numbers in your Username* \n9:30 p.m. Panel \nLink to the panel is provided with registration.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Fire" Watch Party and Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third film in the Ackland Film Forum’s Global Queer Cinema Series\, Deepa Mehta’s Fire (1996\, Canada/India). The series is a collaboration with the Film Studies Program in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at UNC-Chapel Hill\, and features a selection of four international films presented in connection with the Ackland’s Close Looks digital initiative. View the selected films on your own or join us for a watch party. Watch parties will be followed by a live post-film panel discussion with scholars from around the globe. \nFire will be available to stream April 9-15\, 2021 with a virtual watch party on Tuesday\, April 13 at 7:30 p.m. followed by a live panel discussion at 9:30 p.m. We are excited to welcome Dr. Gayatri Gopinath (New York University) for our post-film panel\, who will be in conversation with Martin L. Johnson (UNC-Chapel Hill). Register for free tickets below to receive a link to stream the film and a link to attend the panel via Zoom on April 13. \nAbout Fire: \nRadha (Shabana Azmi) is unwavering in her devotion to her husband Ashok (Kulbushan Kharbanda)\, despite their sexless arranged marriage. For 15 years Radha has been the consummate Indian wife while Ashok\, under the guidance of a spiritual leader\, is attempting to rid himself completely of any form of desire. Meanwhile\, Ashok’s brother Jatin (Jaaved Jaaferi) has brought home his new wife Sita (Nandita Das)\, but is unwilling to give up his relationship with his Chinese girlfriend. Added to the mix are Biji (Kushal Rekhi)\, Ashok and Jatin’s infirm mother\, who keeps a watchful eye over the family\, and Mundu (Ranjit Chowdhry)\, who works in the family’s restaurant and video store under their small apartment. Slowly\, Sita’s presence causes the threads that held the family together to unravel. Each member tries to hang on to a semblance of allegiance to the deeply rooted traditions of Indian family life\, while at the same time seeking expression for their own personal needs and desires. Unable to woo her new husband\, the young and feisty Sita is the first to question the order of things. Her doubts are contagious\, and soon Radha’s devotion begins to waver too. Deprived of their husbands’ affections\, the two women draw closer together in ways neither imagined. \nDirector-writer Deepa Mehta has captured the shifting landscape of the entire Indian subcontinent\, where both men and women are caught in the immense tension between the continuity of the extended family and the desire for greater freedom and independence. Lusciously photographed and passionately told\, FIRE ignites the senses as well as the emotions. \nThis event is supported in part by Laughing Gull Foundation. \nFire Watch Parties | Tweet along with Ackland and UNC Film Studies using #AcklandFilmForum \n7:30 p.m. Watch Party  \n9:30 p.m. Panel \nLink to the panel is provided with registration.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Happy Together" Watch Party and Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second film in the Ackland Film Forum’s spring series on Global Queer Cinema: Happy Together (Wong Kar Wai\, 1997). The series is a collaboration with the Film Studies Program in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at UNC-Chapel Hill\, and features a selection of four international films presented in connection with the Ackland’s Close Looks digital initiative. View the selected films on your own or join us for a watch party. Watch parties will be followed by a live post-film panel discussion with scholars from around the globe. \nHappy Together will be available to stream March 12-18\, 2021 with a virtual watch party on Tuesday\, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. followed by a live panel discussion at 9:15 p.m. We are excited to welcome Dr. Stephen Teo (Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore) for our post-film panel\, who will be in conversation with Rick Warner (UNC-Chapel Hill) and Martin L. Johnson (UNC-Chapel Hill). Register for free tickets below to receive a link to stream the film and a link to attend the panel via Zoom on March 16. \nAbout Happy Together  \nOne of the most searing romances of the 1990s\, Wong Kar Wai’s emotionally raw\, lushly stylized portrait of a relationship in breakdown casts Hong Kong superstars Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung as a couple traveling through Argentina and locked in a turbulent cycle of infatuation and destructive jealousy as they break up\, make up\, and fall apart again and again. Setting out to depict the dynamics of a queer relationship with empathy and complexity on the cusp of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong — when the country’s LGBT community suddenly faced an uncertain future — Wong crafts a feverish look at the life cycle of a love affair that’s by turns devastating and deliriously romantic. Shot by ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle in both luminous monochrome and luscious saturated color\, Happy Together is an intoxicating exploration of displacement and desire that swoons with the ache and exhilaration of love at its heart-tearing extremes. —Janus Films  \nTuesday\, March 16\, 2021\nHappy Together Watch Parties | Tweet along with Ackland and UNC Film Studies using #AcklandFilmForum \n7:30 p.m. Watch Party  \n9:15 p.m. Panel \nLink to the panel is provided with registration.
