SUMMARY:Can Art Prevent War? A Discussion about the Power of Cultural Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:With Barbara Stephenson (Vice Chancellor for Global Affairs and Chief Global Officer\, UNC-Chapel Hill) and Katie Ziglar (Director\, Ackland Art Museum) \nAt this free virtual panel\, Ackland director Katie Ziglar speaks with Vice Provost for Global Affairs and former diplomat Barbara Stephenson about the power of cultural diplomacy\, meditating on the provocative question\, “Can Art Prevent War?” Questions about the power of art in global affairs come implicit with the display of nearly seventy objects on view in the Museum’s current exhibition Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon: Masterworks from the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection at Asia Society. The Rockefellers believed their collection of Asian Art — a portion of which can be seen at the Ackland this fall — would help facilitate cross-cultural dialogue and bolster diplomatic goals of the United States. On December 1\, join Ziglar and Stephenson for a lively conversation in which they share their perspectives — from the museum world and the world of U.S. diplomatic affairs — to explore the use of art in building cross-cultural connections and to comment on the Rockefellers’ goal of cultural diplomacy between the United States and Asia\, especially how it might work in today’s world. \nRegister below for this free Zoom webinar. Participants will be sent a link via email. \n— \nABOUT THE PANELISTS: \nBarbara J. Stephenson\, Vice Provost for Global Affairs and Chief Global Officer\, joined the University in 2019.

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: Zig Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual conversation between artist Zig Jackson and the Ackland’s Lauren Turner\, assistant curator for the collection. Jackson’s photograph Entering Zig’s Indian Reservation\, China Basin\, San Francisco\, CA is featured in the Ackland’s 2021-2022 Close Looks series. In this free virtual conversation\, we’ll hear from Jackson about this 1997 work\, others in the series and about how it fits into his larger body of photography. \nRegister below for a free ticket. A Zoom link will be sent to all registered participants via email. \nZig Jackson (Rising Buffalo) is a photographer of Mandan\, Hidatsa\, and Arikara descent who was raised on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota. Though art was always part of his life\, he began formally learning sketching\, painting\, and then photography during his primary and second education within the government Indian boarding school systems. Jackson earned a bachelor’s degree in education at Northeastern Oklahoma State\, while also studying with several area artists\, before pursuing his interest in photography through continued studies at the University of New Mexico. In 1994\, Jackson received a Master of Fine Arts in photography from San Francisco Art Institute. He is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards and grants including a residential fellowship at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito\, California; a Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation Grant for excellence in the photographic arts\, which culminated with an exhibition\, “Entering Zig’s Indian Reservation\,” at the American Indian Contemporary Arts center in San Francisco; a National Millennium Survey Grant; and the inaugural Beaumont Newhall Award for Photographic Excellence from the New Mexico Humanities Council. In 2005\, Jackson became the first Native American photographer collected by the Library of Congress\, when twelve of his images were accessioned by its Prints and Photographs Division. Jackson has taught photography at Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe\, at San Francisco State University and UC Davis\, and beginning in 1999 at the Savannah College of Art and Design\, where he is now professor emeritus. \nThis program is supported by the Orange County Arts Commission.
