SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Conversation: Ghost of a Dream
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual artist conversation between Ghost of a Dream\, the artistic collaboration of Lauren Was and Adam Eckstrom\, and the Ackland’s assistant curator for the collection Lauren Turner. Ghost of a Dream will discuss their commissioned installation for the Ackland\, Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution)\, as well as their larger body of work. \nThis program is presented in connection with UNC’s Arts Everywhere Day and its 2022 theme “Grounded Growth\,” which examines the role of art — especially the ways in which it was able to uplift and connect — during COVID. \nRegister for a free ticket for this Zoom webinar below. If you encounter registration issues\, please contact email us at acklandRSVP@unc.edu. \n— \nAbout Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution) \nAligned by the Sun (through the revolution) is a seven-channel video installation created specifically for the Ackland Art Museum that uses the formal positioning of the horizon line to connect each video of the sun. By overlaying images of a setting sun that align vastly different and often non-neighboring locations\, Ghost of a Dream’s Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution) offers entry points to important conversations around equality\, location\, migration\, and the environment. On view through July 3\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Animation Workshop with Stella Rosalie Rosen
DESCRIPTION:Join Stella Rosalie Rosen\, 2022 MFA candidate whose work is featured in Myth & Memory\, for a special hands-on workshop on Index Card Animation! \nIn this workshop\, participants will learn the basics of 2D frame animation on paper using pencils and index cards. After a short lecture\, a demonstration\, and a few screenings of animated works drawn on paper\, participants will be encouraged to experiment with animations of their own on index cards following a theme generated by the group. The group’s work will be photographed and compiled into a short film at the end of class. At the end of this workshop\, participants will have learned how drawing frame-by-frame creates motion and movement in animation. Participants will even gain the tools to create their own animated works at home! \nSpace is extremely limited and a free ticket is required (register below). This workshop is for ages 13+. \nPresented in connection with Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022. This exhibition and its related programs are made possible by the generous support of Maryanna & Will Johnson and The Seymour & Carol Levin Foundation. \n— \nStella Rosalie Rosen is an experimental animator and has been honing her skills since 2017. She works with a variety of other techniques\, including clay animation\, puppetry\, replacement animation\, and live-action video\, but finds her home in plain old graphite on paper. Rosen’s work uses narrative animation to illuminate stories that draw from her own experience living in an austere and industrialized world where oppressive hierarchies cause the abjection of certain bodies and the destruction of the natural world. Rosen finds inspiration in plants\, animals\, overheard conversations\, childhood obsessions\, and things she finds on the ground. She has had her films shown at festivals all over the world\, including Bushwick Film Festival\, Brooklyn Women’s Film Festival\, Oakland Short Film Festival\, Cosmic Rays\, and Florida Animation Festival. Rosen earned her undergraduate degree in biology\, and carries a fascination with the natural world into all of her work. Rosen studied animation at Vancouver Film School and California Institute of the Arts. She was raised in New York City and is now based out of Durham\, NC. \nVisit Stella’s website.

SUMMARY:Artist-Led Tour of “Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022”
DESCRIPTION:Join the 2022 Master of Fine Arts students for a special walk-through! This tour will be led by all five MFA candidates and introduced by exhibition curator Laura Ritchie. \nThrough the work of five artists\, Myth & Memory imagines a future in which the margins become the center. Drawing from personal narrative\, each of the artists engages a vocabulary of fantasy to make visible the stories that have been forgotten\, obscured\, or erased by white heteropatriarchal modes of dominance. Their work interrogates practices of history-making and history-keeping at the individual\, institutional\, and systemic level. Intimate gestures and acts of subversion reframe the lens through which memory is archived and myth is defined. As a result\, new stories emerge from a restructured past. \nPresented in connection with Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022. This program is sponsored by the Orange County Arts Commission.
