SUMMARY:Kusama and Beyond: A Conversation with Collectors JK Brown and Eric Diefenbach
DESCRIPTION:Join collectors of modern and contemporary art JK Brown and Eric Diefenbach in a lively conversation with Ackland Director Katie Ziglar and Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs Peter Nisbet. Brown and Diefenbach are currently lending works from their personal collection by internationally-renowned contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama to the Ackland’s exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Open the Shape Called Love (on view through March 27). We’ll discuss how Brown and Diefenbach got into the world of collecting\, how their extensive collection developed\, how they live with their art\, and what appeals in particular about the work of Kusama. Participants will have the opportunity to pose their own questions. \nThis virtual conversation is free and open to the public. A link to the Zoom webinar is provided with your ticket\, which you can register for below. \n— \nJK Brown and Eric Diefenbach have been longtime friends of the Ackland. Over the past twenty years\, they have lent almost 100 works from their collection to various Ackland exhibitions\, decisively enriching such shows as Counterlives (2010-11)\, Carolina Collects: 150 Years of Modern and Contemporary Art from Alumni Collections (2011)\, and Toriawase: A Special Installation of Modern Japanese Art and Ceramics (2020). Their collection of German art was featured in De-Natured: German Art from Joseph Beuys to Martin Kippenberger (2011). Brown is a UNC alum (’84) and has served on numerous boards and committees at Carolina\, including the Ackland’s National Advisory Board.

SUMMARY:Virtual Family & Friends Sunday: Pottery and Postcards
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Tar Heel State through pottery and postcards! Get a closer look at works from the Ackland and Wilson Library’s Special Collections. Both pottery and postcards can be functional\, aesthetically pleasing\, and fun to make! Each can also inform us about the past-  what North Carolina used to look like or how objects have changed over time. \nEach month\, the Ackland hosts a free D.I.Y program for families\, kids\, and the young at heart featuring hands-on art activities\, live performances\, tours\, and more. \nA mix of D.I.Y. and live interactive activities await you\, inspired by central North Carolina! \nNorth Carolina’s First Peoples and Pottery\nWe start off with North Carolina’s First Peoples\, many who were potters and makers. Explore this page for information about early pottery in our area\, and thank you to the Research Laboratories of Archaeology at UNC-Chapel Hill for this research! \nArt-Making Activity: Coil Pots\nWatch a quick YouTube video to learn how to make a Salt Dough Coil Pot! \nMake a Coil Pot with Salt Dough Clay PDF (Accessible) \n“The Woodland people at Doerschuk who made Badin ware used manufacturing techniques similar to those in neighboring regions. They strengthened vessels for firing by adding sand and sometimes pebbles to the wet clay. Also\, like people throughout the ancient Southeast\, they used the method called coiling to make their pots. \nBasically\, coiling involves making long ropes or “coils” of clay. Starting at the base\, potters build the vessel’s walls by placing coils on top of each other. They then blend the coils together and thin the walls by hitting the sides with a wooden paddle. After the walls are built and paddled\, the pot is then fired to harden the clay. \nOften people wrapped the paddle with string\, or covered it with fabric\, or carved it with a design. Every time the paddle hit the pot (while the clay was still wet\, of course)\, it left a reverse impression of the string or design on the pot’s surface. Archaeologists call this technique paddle stamping.” – Research Laboratories of Archaeology at UNC \nVirtual Mini Field Trip -Seagrove\, N.C.\nThe town of Seagrove is a destination for pottery enthusiasts and makers alike! It is home to the NC Pottery Center.  \nWatch these short clips to learn more. \nVideo #1 \nVideo #2 \nRead this article about Seagrove in Artsy. \nPostcard Exploration\nNorth Carolina Postcards is a project of the North Carolina Collection\, located in historic Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives holds more than 12\,000 North Carolina postcards contained primarily in two collections: the North Carolina Postcard Collection and the Durwood Barbour Collection of North Carolina Postcards. \nThis digital project contains a selection of materials from the North Carolina Collection’s postcard collections\, including at least one image for each of North Carolina’s one hundred counties. Several counties have a close tie to pottery historically or culturally\, which we have listed below (this list is by no means complete!) \nBadin\, North Carolina \nBuncombe County\, North Carolina \nHaywood County\, North Carolina \nMoore County\, North Carolina \nCollection Connection\nCurrently\, a variety of North Carolina ceramics is on view in Object Lessons through May 14\, 2021. Explore the full exhibition virtually on Kuula. This portion of Object Lessons was curated with Professor Patricia Sawin\, who is utilizing the Ackland’s collection in her “Introduction to Folklore” class. \nYou will see several examples from Jugtown Pottery\, which is located in Seagrove\, North Carolina. \nArtist Spotlight: Mark Hewitt\nLearn more about the local artist Mark Hewitt\, whose work is featured in Object Lessons! \nArtist Website \nWorks in the Ackland’s Collection \n\n
