SUMMARY:"Unsettled Things" Study Day
DESCRIPTION:Register for a special opportunity to participate in a Study Day with scholars of The Unfinished Business of Unsettled Things\, the publication that accompanies the Ackland’s current exhibition Unsettled Things: Art from an African American South. Laura Bickford\, Michael J. Bramwell\, Bernard L. Herman\, and Lauren Turner will each lead short gallery discussions about individual works of art in the exhibition\, expanding on what we might learn from looking closely at objects as well as how the study of this group of southern artists allows us the opportunity to push the boundaries of what constitutes American art.   \nParticipants should add free tickets for each of the four individual sessions they’d like to attend. Space is very limited for each session. \nThis project was supported by the North Carolina Arts Council\, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

SUMMARY:Work-in-Progress Film Screening: "Minnie Evans: Draw or Die"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special work-in-progress screening of the forthcoming documentary Minnie Evans: Draw or Die (dir. Linda Royal). The documentary explores the life and work of Eastern North Carolina artist Minnie Evans\, whose work is featured in the Ackland’s current exhibition Unsettled Things: Art from an African American South (on view through July 2\, 2023). Following the screening\, we will hear from director Linda Royal\, producer Olympia Stone\, anthropologist Elizabeth M. Penton\, and Wayne Evans\, great-grandson of Minnie Evans. \nThis project was supported by the North Carolina Arts Council\, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.  \nSOLD OUT: Please email acklandRSVP@unc.edu to reserve a spot on the waitlist. \n—\nABOUT THE FILM \nThis is the story of Minnie Evans (1892-1987) whose artistic mastery of a lifetime of visionary dreaming is now recognized on a world-wide stage by art collectors. Born in 1892 in rural coastal North Carolina at a time of racial oppression of her community\, Evans worked for decades as the gatekeeper of Airlie Gardens on Wrightsville Sound\, NC. In the small wooden gatehouse\, she produced hundreds of paintings and drawings. She gave her pictures to people who admired her work\, and eventually hung them up near the gatehouse\, selling them for a tiny fraction of what her work brings at art auctions today. Working with simple crayon and pencil\, Evans’ unique drawings combine exquisitely colored forms and elements of nature and spirituality into her own awe-inspiring creations. Read more on the film’s website. \nABOUT THE PANELISTS \nLinda Royal\, (fka Booker) received a Certificate in Documentary Studies from Duke University in 2005 and started By the Brook Productions. Her documentaries “STRAWS\,” “Bringing It Home\,” and “Love Lived on Death Row” have won awards at U.S. and international film festivals and reached audiences globally through educational use\, community screenings\, corporate office events and in-flight entertainment. With her films\, Linda has coordinated engagement and impact campaigns to address domestic violence\, restorative justice and environmental policy in addition to educating thousands of students nationwide about single-use plastic pollution. Her first documentary project featured folk artist Clyde Jones and she’s grateful to honor Minnie Evans with a new documentary film to recognize her as one of the greatest self-taught artists of the twentieth century. \nOlympia Stone’s documentaries have been showcased nationally on public television and have won numerous festival awards. Olympia’s films probe the motivations and personal histories of extraordinary artists as a way of providing insight into their work. Aldwyth: Fully Assembled is Olympia’s eighth film. Her other films include portraits of Richard Estes\, Elizabeth King\, James Grashow\, and David Beck. Olympia’s first film\, The Collector: Allan Stone’s Life in Art (2007)\, chronicles the obsessive collecting of her father\, a New York art world gallerist whose habits and prescient scouting shaped his life and the lives of many in his artfully cluttered orbit. \nElizabeth M. Penton\, PhD\, A native of Wilmington\, N.C.\, Liz has been teaching non-Western art and Anthropology at the college level for over 30 years. She took three degrees in Anthropology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with her dissertation work on Paleolithic cave paintings. A lifelong interest in art and culture\, and visionary art in particular\, has kept the works of Minnie Evans near the top of her mind. In 2020 she partnered with the Cameron Art Museum to engage in a disciplined analysis of the forms of Evans’ drawings and paintings. Her forthcoming manuscript\, Minnie Evans (1892 – 1987): A Beautiful Light\, addresses the artist’s complex use of perspective and showcases the artist’s own words with the objective of elevating her oeuvre to its rightful place among the world’s famous visionary artists. Liz is also on the production team with Linda Royal of By the Brook Films\, creating a new documentary film on her life and works. \nWayne Evans is the great-grandson of Minnie Evans\, who spent much of his formidable years living in Minnie’s home. After 20 years of working with the special needs population in the New Hanover County School District\, Wayne is now a Foster Care Administrator with fifteen years of experience working with a team of professionals in his district for a National Healthcare Company. His work ensures that all required records are in state compliance with North Carolina Foster Care State Regulatory policies. Wayne currently lives in Raleigh\, North Carolina. In his free time\, he enjoys reading comics\, fantasy fiction novels\, especially the writings of Anne Rice and other similar authors\, visiting his son\, and spoiling his grandson\, Jaden.

SUMMARY:Curator’s Introductory Tour of "Reform to Restoration"
DESCRIPTION:*This tour is now SOLD OUT. To be added to the waitlist\, please email acklandRSVP@unc.edu. \nA guided tour of Reform to Restoration led by Dana Cowen\, Sheldon Peck Curator for European and American Art before 1950. Space is limited; free ticket required. \n  \nABOUT THE EXHIBITION\nReform to Restoration: French Drawings from Louis XVI to Louis XVIII (1770-1830) presents over eighty master drawings from The Horvitz Collection\, the preeminent private collection of French art in the United States\, and showcases some of the most well-known artists of the period\, including Jacques-Louis David\, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres\, and Pierre-Paul Prud’hon. Working in a time of tremendous political and social upheaval in France\, artists looked to the art\, architecture\, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome for inspiration and used stories from antique history and mythology as well as current events and contemporary theater to convey moral and civic values during a period of great uncertainty. Arranged in thematic groupings devoted to the concepts of patriotism\, love\, honor\, conflict\, and despair\, the works on display demonstrate the intellectual curiosity of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century French artists as well as the expressive versatility and powerful immediacy of drawings. \nImage credit: Jean-François-Pierre Peyron\, French\, 1744-1814\, Académie: Seated Male Nude\, 1780\, black chalk on off-white laid paper\, 14 3/8 x 20 7/8 in.\, (36 x 53 cm).

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:Ackland Film Forum: "Thelma and Louise" (Ridley Scott\, 1991)
DESCRIPTION:Thelma & Louise\nDir. Ridley Scott\, 1991 \nIntroduced by Kino Corner \nThis gorgeously shot film is a rarity in Hollywood: a written-by-a-woman (Callie Khouri) action thriller/road movie with richly drawn female bonding at its center. Controversial in its day for its sensational depiction of violence\, Thelma & Louise has become a cult classic with a large fan base\, which includes members of the LGBTQ community who\, already in the 1990s\, saw in this narrative a quasi-lesbian romance that takes dead aim at patriarchy. Starring Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon\, this is also the film that made a young Brad Pitt famous\, despite his limited screen time. The closing shot is among the most famous and memorable of the decade.  \nThis Fall’s Ackland Film Forum series\, Nineties Flashback\, is presented by the Ackland Art Museum and the UNC Film Studies Program\, part of the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature.  \nAll Ackland Film Forum screenings are part of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Campus Life Experience program.
