"ON CAMPUS"
By LEAH TALLEY
Arts Editor
The Ackland Museum, a practically un
discovered resource of mystery and enter
tainment at UNC, promises another year
of outstanding exhibitions.
The Ackland is a simple museum. To
walk through it without looking at exhibits
would take less than five minutes. But the
museum's history belies its simple exterior.
You wouldn't expect such a small, sim
ple building to contain a tomb. But the
Ackland does. William Hayes Ackland,
the museum's benefactor, lies for eternity
in the left foyer of the museum.
Ackland wanted to establish a museum
in the South to encourage Southerners to
appreciate the finer aspects of life. He con
tacted three universities, Rollins College in
Florida, Duke and UNC. He selected Duke
as the sole heir of his estate if the
university followed the stipulations in his
will.
This is where the story gets complicated..
It seems that Duke didn't want to follow
the will's instructions. Ackland stipulated
that he must be buried in the museum and
that his estate funds must be controlled
through a trust and used solely for acquisi
tions. After nearly a nine-year court battle,
which Duke lost, the will was executed to
his second choice, UNC.
To get an idea of Ackland's utilization
of its small amount of space, William
Ackland is buried in the left foyer, where
the museum also displays various exhibits.
Last year, African carvings and masks as
well as North Carolina pottery and folk
carvings could be seen in the midst of
William Ackland's presence.
Every space in Ackland is used for ex
hibits. The foyer to the right of the main
entrance is now exhibiting German expres
sionist prints. The North and South
galleries contain paintings from Ackland's
permanent collection. The South gallery
displays 19th and 20th century painters
such as .Thomas Aikens, Max Weber and
Camille Pissaro. In the North gallery,
works by old masters such as Peter Paul
Rubens, Eugene Delacroix and Matthias
Stomer hang.
The main gallery doesn't have winding
halls and spiral staircases. It's a rec
tangular room with artificial walls in the
middle of the floor to increase hanging
space. But Ackland's size and simplicity
don't limit the quality of exhibitions dis-
-pbyedio;.-; z ,;sa-v,-rr '::'r: . '
K. Forexampte, this. fall's first exhibit is a
major one, touring all over the country.
Kandinsky Watercolors: a Selection from
the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and
the Hilia von Rebay Foundation features
50 of Russian-born Vasily Kandinsky's
watercolors.
Kandinsky (1866-1944), an early ex
plorer of abstract art, perfected his work
into two principle kinds of painting. Com
positions is the title of his work exploring
planned and ordered arrangements of
geometric shapes. His other works, Im
provisations, are a total opposite approach
to art. In these, Kandinsky had no theme
before painting, instead allowing his sub
conscious to control colors on the canvas.
The 50 paintings on display, ranging in
date from 191 1 to 1940, are drawn from
the permanent collection of the Gug
genheim Museum and the Hilla von
Rebay Foundation. A number of the
paintings from the von Rebay Foundation
will be shown for the first time in several
years, while others have never been on
public view. This exhibit can be seen in the
main gallery Sept. 9 through Oct. 17.
Correlating with the Kandinsky exhibit,
two gallery talks will be given at 3 p.m.
Sept. 19 and at 12:15 p.m. Oct. 6. A lec
ture on Kandinsky watercolors will be
presented by Vivian Barnett, associate
curator at the Guggenheim Museum 8
p.m. Sept. 16. And a film series on Ger
! many between 1919 and 1935 will be pre
sented in Carroll Hall at 2:30 and 4 p.m.
on Sept. 19 and 26, at 2:30 p.m. on Oct.
10, and at 2:30 and 3:45 p.m. on Oct. 23.
These films will provide insight on Ger
many at the time of Kandinsky's stay.
The annual JUNC faculty exhibition
will be displayed the second half of the fall
semester. Works by members of the facul
ty as well as works by visiting artists will be
featured. Faculty members whose work
will be displayed are Sarah Bapst, Robert
Barnard, Carolyn Bloomer, James Gad
son, Robert Howard, , Jerry Noe, Peter
Plagens, Marvin Saltzman, Richard Shiff
and Dennis Zaborowski. Visiting artists
will be Andrea Blum, Richard Field and
Peter Pincheck. This exhibit can be seen
Oct. 24 through Nov. 28.
Photographs and Texts of Eudora Wel
ty will be exhibited Oct. 31 through Nov.
28. Welty traveled through her native state
of Mississippi during the 1930s as a
publicist for the Works Progress Ad
ministration. During this time, she took
hundreds of photographs. The Mississippi
State Historical Museum collected 33 of
these photos and grouped them with ex
cerpts from Welty's writing. This exhibit
promises to be a refreshing one Welty's
humorous view of the South found in her
fiction accompanied by her own photo
graphic view of her homeland. ;
The semester closes with a photography
exhibit, The Desired Haven: Photographs
by Frederick H. Evans. In his photos,
Evans explores medieval cathedrals of
England and France, parish churches,
chateaux, woodlands and landscapes.
These 89 photographs are platinum prints
and were made between 1898 and 1912.
This exhibit, on loan from the Alfred
Stieglitz Center of the Philadelphia
Museum of Art, can be seen Dec. 5
through Jan. 16.
Summer's best offers
diverse rock selection
By GUHA SHANKAR
Special to the DTH
Of all the cliches and mundane sayings,
the one that irks me the most is that
chestnut of all chestnuts, "Promises are
easier to break than to keep." I resent
that only because it's true. Witness my
transgressions: to begin with, I was going
to reduce my alcohol intake, get in shape
and stop buying albums.
Well, things didn't quite work out that
way. Now I start; wheezing like an
asthmatic just getting out of bed, all the
bartenders in Chapel Hill know me by
name, and although I only eat once a day
my record collection has become positive
ly obese. But I only feel guilty about
breaking the first two promises because
the music this summer was very, very
good indeed.
The First Division: The Summer's Best
Roxy Music: Avalon The lush pro
duction, the detached passion of Bryan
Ferry's vocals, and the airy, other
worldliness that permeates the albums
make for one of Roxy's best. Lounge
lizards of the world, unite!
Elvis Costello: Imperial Bed
rooms Exorcising the personal demons
which have plagued him throughout his
career, one of rock's most talented musi
cians has produced this gem of an album.
The lyrics are ironic, bittersweet and sad
without a trace of self-pity. Growing up
in public isn't easy but Costello pulls it
off with style.
King Crimson: Beat This four-man
symphony returns after last year's stun
ner, Discipline. The interplay between the
instruments is remarkable for its cohesion
and inventiveness. The only disappoint-
ment is that there's not more of the
music. The best collection of musical
talent in one band.
Pete Townshend: All the Best Cow
boys Have Chinese Eyes So what if The
Who break up? In the beginning was Pete
Townshend and he'll be there long after
the band is no more. The album runs the
gamut of emotions and musical styles
ballads, rockers, pain, joy, sorrow all
done with the inimitable grace and wit
that Townshend can muster.
Squeeze: Sweets from a Stranger As
if to prove that last year's East Side Story
was not the peak of its efforts, Squeeze
lets loose on this album. The songs are
introspective, upbeat and sweet without
being cloying, and they rarely miss the
mark. "The Elephant Ride" is fast sur
passing "Tempted" as my favorite
Squeeze song.
Gang of Four: Songs of the Free Do
Marxists make dance music? Damn
straight! And they do it so well. The third
album from ' this very clever band is its
most accessible yet. A heavy, heavy bass
line and lyrics dripping with sarcasm
make for excellent listening and dancing
(in an oddly compelling way).
David Johanson: Live it Up Blue
eyed soul lives in the person of this ex
New York Doll. Two cover versions alone
make this album an outstanding one.
There is an Animals medley in which Jo
hanson sounds more like Eric Burdon
than even Burdon could, and a version of
The Four Tops' "I'll Be There" which is
superb.
Steve Winwood: Talking Back to the
Night Actually this is just a continua
tion of last year's release Arc of a Diver,
but so what? Winwood makes pop music
valid again.
The Cash: Combat Rock The Clash
does it again. An eclectic combination of
rap songs, funk, and reggae, Combat
Rock gives an indication of rock's future.
At the very least, two classic tunes and a
half dozen more good ones.
Under the Big Black Sun Loud and
fast rules. Shedding the often restrictive
tag of punks, the L.A. band creates a
dense, hard wall of sound while retaining
the melody. No doubt about it, one of the
best bands anywhere.
These albums don't tell the whole
story, however. Here are two more
categories to consider.
Oh-So-aose-But-Not-Quite: Adrian
Belew: The Lone Rhino, Joe Jackson:
Night and Day; Thomas Dolby: The
Golden Age of Wireless.
These-People-Put-Out-Alb'ums-Bul-Nobody-Listencd:
Heart, Michael
McDonald, Crosby, StiHs and Nash.
