SUMMARY:The 9th Annual Symposium of the Art Student Graduate Organization - “The Ways We Attach Ourselves”: Affect\, Agency\, and Emotion in the Visual Arts
DESCRIPTION:Please reserve your space at the event here. \nThe symposium will be held in-person at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on\nFriday\, September 15th at 5:30 – 7:30 PM and Saturday\, September 16th from 9:00 AM-\n4:00 PM. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A session and are open to a general audience. \nAffect theory in art highlights the power of art to evoke intense emotions and bodily sensations\ninfluenced by social\, cultural\, and historical factors. It recognizes that our bodies actively\nparticipate in the affective encounter with art\, generating physical responses that contribute to the\nexperience. This approach explores how art can transform emotions\, challenge interpretations\,\nand provoke new perspectives\, examining the aesthetic strategies artists employ to evoke\naffective responses in viewers. \nDrawing inspiration from the insightful work of Lauren Berlant and Sarah Ahmed\, this year’s\nsymposium delves into the captivating realm of affect\, agency\, and emotion within the visual\narts. Our objective is to embrace an affective approach that illuminates the emotional and sensory\ndimensions of art\, showcasing the profound transformative potential inherent in encounters with\nartworks. ASGO cordially invites you to immerse yourself in art on a deeply visceral and embodied\nlevel\, transcending mere intellectual analysis and embarking on an exploration of the boundless\naffective possibilities offered by artistic experiences. \nPlease reserve your space at the event here.

SUMMARY:Music in the Galleries: Music of the Chevalier de Saint-Georges
DESCRIPTION:This event is now SOLD OUT. To be added to a waitlist\, please email acklandRSVP@unc.edu. \nJoin members of the UNC Baroque Ensemble\, under the direction of Brent Wissick\, for an intimate art-inspired concert of French classical music by Joseph Boulogne\, also known as the Chevalier de Saint-Georges. A tour for concert-goers led by Dana Cowen\, exhibition curator and Sheldon Peck Curator for European and American Art before 1950\, will follow the performance. \nThis event is now SOLD OUT. To be added to a waitlist\, please email acklandRSVP@unc.edu. \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-Jacques-François Le Barbier\, called Le Barbier L’AÎNÉ (1738-1826)\, Minerva Presenting the the Chevalier Desilles to Henri IV in the Elysian Fields\, ND\, Pen with black ink and brush with brown wash on off-white laid paper\, 240 x 355 mm.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Magnolia" (Paul Thomas Anderson\, 1999)
DESCRIPTION:Magnolia\nDir. Paul Thomas Anderson\, 1999  \nIntroduced by Aspect: Journal of Film & Screen Media  \nEverything uncannily intersects in Magnolia: the past\, the present\, emotional traumas\, diseases\, network television\, crimes\, false representations\, family disasters\, geography of the San Fernando Valley\, Biblical plagues\, whirling camera movements\, and more. P.T. Anderson’s operatic melodrama is one of the quirkiest and most audacious entries in 1990s American cinema\, with throwbacks to 1970s-era work by Sidney Lumet and Robert Altman. The star-studded ensemble cast includes Tom Cruise\, Philip Seymour Hoffman\, Julianne Moore\, John C. Reilly\, and other faces you will recognize. Along with Eyes Wide Shut from the same year\, Magnolia is one of the most curious and unsettling performances by Cruise\, who\, at least in 1999\, embraced vulnerability and self-critique. \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.  \nReserve your FREE TICKET below! \nFor UNC Students: All Ackland Film Forum screenings are part of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Campus Life Experience program.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "JFK" (Oliver Stone\, 1991)
DESCRIPTION:JFK \nDir. Oliver Stone\, 1991 \nIntroduced by Prof. Michelle Robinson\, American Studies \nAs one of the most epic conspiracy thrillers ever conceived\, JFK investigates the perpetually unsolved murder of an American president. Set largely in New Orleans\, this sprawling\, kaleidoscopic film bombards us with all manner of facts and paranoid theories while Robert Richardson’s highly complex cinematography alternates between the past and present\, between archival and newly shot material\, between sumptuous 35mm images and grainy 16 or 8mm images that look like newsreel footage. Featuring many actors you will recognize (Kevin Costner\, Sissy Spacek\, Joe Pesci\, Gary Oldman\, Tommy Lee Jones\, Kevin Bacon\, Donald Sutherland\, and even John Candy!)\, this film will no doubt provoke conversation with your friends and leave you wanting to see it again\, albeit after a long rest.   \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.

SUMMARY:Art & Literature at the Ackland
DESCRIPTION:Join Dana Cowen (Sheldon Peck Curator for European and American Art before 1950\, Ackland Art Museum) and Professor Ellen Welch (Romance Studies\, UNC-Chapel Hill) for a tour and lively discussion of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Reveries of a Solitary Walker and the Ackland’s current exhibition Reform to Restoration. Participants will receive a copy of the book in advance of the event. Presented in collaboration with Carolina Public Humanities.  \nSpace is limited; tickets are required. The $40 ticket includes a copy of the book and refreshments at the event. Tickets are now on sale at https://humanities.unc.edu/event/art-and-literature-at-the-ackland/.  \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.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Misery" (Rob Reiner\, 1990)
DESCRIPTION:Misery \nDir. Rob Reiner\, 1990  \nCo-sponsored by Playmakers Repertory Company in connection with their stage production of Stephen King’s Misery\, October 11-31 (https://playmakersrep.org/show/misery/) \nIntroduced by Henry Veggian\, English & Comparative Literature \nAdapted from Stephen King’s novel\, Misery is a tongue-in-cheek psychological horror film that explores the relationship between a bestselling romance novelist (played by James Caan) and his most devoted fan (played by Kathy Bates). Not unlike The Shining\, this film imparts a vivid feeling of confinement in a single\, snowy\, remote setting that dominates the narrative. Bates’ performance earned her Best Actress at that year’s Academy Awards. This film will frighten you but will also inspire grins and laughter. King has called it one of the best adaptations of his work\, which suggests that it captures his intended tone. See the film and then be sure to catch the stage adaptation by William Goldman over at Playmakers this October!\n \nRegister for a FREE ticket below! \n— \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.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Eve's Bayou" (Kasi Lemmons\, 1997)
DESCRIPTION:Eve’s Bayou \nDir. Kasi Lemmons\, 1997 \nIntroduced by new faculty member Prof. Daelena Tinnin-Gadson\, English & Comparative Literature \nA Southern Gothic thriller/coming-of-age drama set in 1960s Louisiana\, Kasi Lemmons’ first feature film follows a young girl (Jurnee Smollett) as she grapples with new knowledge of her charismatic father’s (Samuel L. Jackson) philandering. With its layered performances from a predominantly Black cast\, the film offers a portrait of a family unraveling internally\, within an environment marked by Creole folklore. In a decade that saw the renaissance of Black popular cinema\, Eve’s Bayou\, as an independent feature\, undertakes a subtler\, quieter exploration of African American subjectivity and memory through the eyes of a child whose sense of reality is thrown into crisis. Despite its modest budget\, the film found favor with both critics and audiences\, and was the most commercially successful independent film of 1997. Its reputation has only improved with age.   \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.
