SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: Christine Vachon in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Ackland Art Museum & UNC Film Studies Present: A Celebration of Christine Vachon \nJoin us for a two-night event honoring Christine Vachon\, one of independent cinema’s most fearless and influential producers! For more than three decades\, Vachon has been at the forefront of American queer cinema and has championed bold\, uncompromising stories that challenge filmmaking conventions and amplify marginalized voices. As the co-founder of Killer Films\, she has worked with some of the most daring filmmakers of our time: Todd Haynes\, Kimberly Peirce\, John Cameron Mitchell\, Paul Schrader\, Celine Song\, Brady Corbet\, and more. From the raw emotional power of Boys Don’t Cry (1999) to the exquisite longing of Carol (2015)\, her productions have reshaped the cinematic landscape by giving voice to stories that might otherwise go untold. \nThis two-night event offers a rare opportunity to experience one of her early films on the big screen and hear directly from the artist herself. \nNight One – Screening of Velvet Goldmine \nTuesday\, April 15 | 7:30 | Varsity Theatre \nVelvet Goldmine (dir. Todd Haynes\, 1998\, UK/US\, Killer Films) \nVelvet Goldmine is a glittering\, audacious tribute to the transgressive spirit of 1970s glam rock. Its nonlinear plot (indebted to the flashback structure of Citizen Kane) investigates the rise\, fall\, and strange disappearance of Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Meyers)\, a Bowie-esque superstar whose music\, sexuality\, and persona ignite controversy and desire in equal measure. Featuring unforgettable performances by Ewan McGregor\, Christian Bale\, and Toni Collette\, Velvet Goldmine offers a kaleidoscopic exploration of identity\, fame\, and the power of queer art. \nNight Two – Christine Vachon in Conversation \nWednesday\, April 16 | 7:30 p.m. | Varsity Theatre \nVachon reflects on her groundbreaking career\, the evolution of independent cinema\, and the importance of authentic queer representation on screen. Moderated by Michelle Robinson\, Associate Professor of American Studies\, this conversation will offer insight into the creative and logistical challenges of producing films outside the Hollywood system\, as well as the cultural impact of LGBTQ+ storytelling. Audience Q&A will follow. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to engage with one of cinema’s most dynamic and influential producers!

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:Bettie Allison Rand Lectures in Art History: Stephanie Porras\, Tulane University
DESCRIPTION:The Ackland is pleased to host the UNC Department of Art and Art History’s Bettie Allison Rand Lecture in Art History featuring guest speaker Stephanie Porras (Tulane University) on “Ivory across Empires.” \nThe talk is free and open to the public. Seating is first come\, first served. Read below for additional details about the talk and speaker. \nIvory across Empires\nConsidering a range of seventeenth-century ivory objects made in Manila\, Goa\, Ceylon and Mexico\, this talk proposes a different narrative about empire. While these ivory sculptures certainly testify to the widespread use of imported European models\, the range of ivory carvings done across Asia\, also are part of a broader history of the creative agency of Asian makers in responding to European tastes and to the expanding global market for their work\, via both the Manila galleon and circum-African sea trade. Foregrounding the material of ivory and its varied uses\, and seeing these objects in dialogue with one another\, also gestures towards an alternative history of Portuguese and Spanish imperial ambitions in Asia\, as well as the motivations of different Asian empires\, from the kingdom of Kotte in Sri Lanka to the Ming and later Qing dynasties in China. For ivory operated between and across empires\, and this talk examines the various trade routes\, as well as the mobility of materials\, models and artists who produced ivories for an emerging global art market. \nStephanie Porras is Professor of Art History and Chair of the Newcomb Art Department at Tulane University. Her research interests include the visual and material culture of Northern Europe\, the Spanish world\, and the Dutch Atlantic from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Her latest book\, The First Viral Images: Maerten de Vos\, Antwerp print and the early modern globe (PSU press\, 2023) traces the complex production and reception histories of an illustrated book\, a painting and an engraving\, all made in Antwerp in the late sixteenth century\, but copied by Venetian print publishers\, Spanish and Latin American painters\, Mughal miniaturists and by Filipino ivory carvers. Most recently\, she is also the co-editor\, along with Stephen Campbell\, The Routledge Companion to the Global Renaissance\, a volume of forty essays\, introducing objects made across the early modern world; appearing later this year is another co-edited volume\, The Dutch Americas: art histories of the Atlantic World\, with Aaron Hyman. \nThrough a generous gift to the UNC Arts and Sciences Foundation\, William G. Rand established this lecture series in memory of his late wife\, Bettie Allison Rand. This funding allows the Department of Art and Art History to bring one or more eminent art historians to UNC-CH every other year for residencies of various lengths. While they are in Chapel Hill\, these scholars present a series of lectures and interact with undergraduate and graduate art history and studio art students. Following the campus visit\, the scholars prepare a manuscript\, which is then published by the UNC Press as part of the Rand Series of art history publications.
