4The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, September 16, 1S80 O !- fcj ilil v V J J s u J 7 VA7" v v t9! r n Ey CONNIE MEANS " Staff Writer The Ackland Art Museum opened its new season of free exhibitions Sunday with the UNC-CH faculty artists' exhibition. A single step into the main gallery brings the viewer abruptly in contact with a work as new as now. The first of Phillip Chan's white, plexiglass-covered boxes ' initiates a trip into time with the message "Entering the present." The next several boxes each mark time's passage with an X until "Exiting the present" ends the series. The trees in Chan's nearby charcoal drawing, Wintery Afternoon, show a thematic affinity with this series as the shadows they cast signal the approach of dusk as does a sundial. Jerry Noe's arch-shaped and delta-shaped neon sculptures are statements of simplicity and force. The bold black lines of Robert Howard's work carry a similar statement in their resepblance to Chinese characters. In contrast, the velvet blacjcs of Howard's watercolor, Sketch for Sculpture, suggust a soft. landscape, touched with jewel tones of aqua, purple and rose. Another work that evokes a landscape is Ron Kraver's pastel brown plain which is framed by an irregular gray spiky band. The center of the work includes an inexplicable layering of rectangles and squares overlaid with both horizontal and vertical finger shapes. Kraver's other works, all titled Proposal for a Coney Island Whitefish Trap and executed in different mediums, elude interpretation as easily as. the first. One includes a light gray plane broken by a wire stretched from a ball and hooked under the plane's edge. The tension of this sheet disappears in the symmetry of the next an evenly squared grid resembling smocking topped with a smaller nine-section square. Kraver's next print juxtaposes two light-colored boxes against the background of a brown and black brick wall. One box, recessed in a square window, recedes far into the depths created by this three-dimensional construction. A more obviously 3-D assemblage is Robert Barnard's sculpture of rusty tin, wire and concrete eaten away like termite-infested wood. The creation conjures up thoughts of tetanus shots and the final touch of melted fat poured over it does little to alter such a response. Marvin Saltzman's painting offers less threatening debris in its windstorm of shapes swept across an abstract landscape of apricot and blue-green. Two of his charcoal and pencil drawings present a calmer scene' as they capture the misty softness of winter Appalachian mountains. Another forest of white shapes, created by Seth Rosenberg, covers a 5-by-10 space on the Ackland floor. This arrangement of paper cutouts some rounded, some squared, others jagged or swirled forms an eye-pleasing labyrinth echoed by the shadows it lays across the floor. h.il'p Chan's Wmtary Afternoon ...displayed at Ackland Art Museum Sharron Pollack's works also deal with whites and grays, light and shadow. Her drawings on paper seem to be drawn with paper, crumpled and brittle-edged, or like sheer, torn curtain. In her pastel, a study in neutral grays and browns, areas are sectioned into rectangles representing the different colors used. Robert Barnard does something quite different with lines. In his acrylic metropolis, Red Cross Machine, lines, circles and ovals represent noise. Waves of sound can be seen bouncing off objects, moving horizontally across the canvas or out in waves toward the viewer. ' Color is also one of the outstanding features of Dennis Zaborowski's work. His paintings include recognizable motifs of ashtrays, seasheils, flowers or floral prints and hands and legs, but the most striking impression is of the lighting. Zaborowski's palette predominates in pink, violet, magenta, fuschia and aqua, and the colors suffuse everything from still life objects to skin , tones. . Richard Kinnalrd's abstractions are also very colorful. In his paintings a network of vertical lines lavender, sea green may partially mask abstract expressionist splatters, a dark fire or an opalescent background. Or the mesh may fall away to yield to irregular metallic gold shapes floating like continents adrift. Another worker in the collage medium is Peter Plagens, recently appointed chairman of the UNC-CH art department, who provides a welcome "translation" for the works he has just brought in from California. His series of paintingcollages reflect his own desire to "inject some kind of 'meaning' beyond (a) decoration and (b) contemporary art strategy without resorting back to the figurative." The works are studies for larger diptychs which, Plagens says, presently "hover uneasily side-by-side in the same work." Each is a dedication to a single person mother, son, daughter, father, girlfriend,' dealer with scraps of personal memorabilia related to that person incorporated in the design. Since his arrival as department chairman, Plagens has spent much of his time deciphering the design and workings of his position as it relates to the University and his colleagues. Of these efforts and expectations, he says, "one of the things which attracted me to Chapel Hill is the quality of the faculty, and this exhibition will demonstrate what a fine, serious and varied group of artists are on that faculty." The exhibition runs until October 19. ft I 4 n . vy " ? - 4 - . V r 8 ' l i. . i n iriateaticner I has the best'annle.on collega 'dressing in jeans of Cone all-cotton Indico denim.

' .. 4 A j, I ' DyTOMMOOIlE Staff Writer Fellini. He is one of the few directors famous enough to be known by only his last name. - He has been making films stamped with his personal signature an ability to cruelly caricature, an outrageous sense of humor, a remarkable sense of the surreal, an incredibly cynical outlook for over 30 years. His films vary widely in content and view from silly comedies to devastating looks at the hopelessness of life. The Carolina Union Film Committee presents a festival of films directed by Federico Fellini beginning with La Strada at 7 and 9:30 p.m. today, La Dolce Vita at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Amarcord at 7 and 9:30 p.m. Thursday. All the films are shown in Carroll Hall and are free with UNC student ID or Union privilege card. The films in the festival represent three very different periods in Fellini's distinguished career. Fellini began his film career as a screenwriter, working on such classic films as Rosselini's Open City and The Miracle. Soon he turned to directing; Fellini's first films, Variety Lights and The White Sheik, show a real flair for satire. Fellini was the great hope for Italian film comedy in the early 1950s. Then he shocked his audience with a tragedy, La Strada, which became his first international hit. La Strada stars Anthony Quinn as an insensitive sideshow strongman who abuses his pathetically faithful woman, Giuletta Masina. Fellini's next international success, which made him well-known, came a few years later with La Dolce Vita. La Dolce Vita stars Marcello Mastroianni as a cynical journalist who views the decadence of Rome as a mirror of himself. It is an episodic film and it was the first time Fellini began to move away from the constraints of plot. Later, with 8Vi and Giuletta of the Spirits, Roma, Satyricon, and Clowns, Fellini became more experimental in his work; the later films are meditations on personal subjects. At first, with 8V2 and Giuletta cf The Spirits which retained some degree of plot. Fellini was praised for his originality, but later the critics found plotless films like Clowns and Roma the product of a lazy imagination. Fellini redeemed himself, critically with Amarcord, a series of sketches like Roma and Satyricon but more precisely linked together. Amarcord is about life in a small Italian coastal town during the 1930s. It is a combination of the serious and the wacky elements of Fellini's style. Amarcord won the Academy Award for best foreign film in 1974.
