Banjo-Mandolin Round
In the world of musical instruments there is a wide variety of ways to beat, blow and strum to make sounds. The banjo-mandolin is a hybrid of both these instruments, having the round body of a banjo, the small size and tuning of a mandolin, and 8 strings in four paired courses. But don't confuse it with the banjolin, which is the same thing but with 4 strings.

Guess The Gumball Count Round
Strawberry. Blueberry. Lemon. Lime. Orange. How many gumballs will fit in a gumball machine? Well, what you have here is your classic sphere-packing problem in a three-dimensional Euclidean space. But, whether your technique is cubic lattice, hexagonal close-packed, or face-centered cubic, the "how many" really depends on the size of the gumball and of the space, of course. A 10 x 10" cube could hold a few thousand half inchers, while only an 850 count of these one-inchers. Whatever, just pour the damn balls into the machine, will ya?

Greyson Wellborn III Round
Grey is not some plain old feral cat hanging around outside, oh no. Lounging resplendently in a silver scalloped cat bath, you can tell he owns the place though he's not originally from Hickory. Born Greyson Wellborn the Third, he's from the tony oak-lined neighborhood of Hayes Barton in Raleigh. You know... of the Raleigh Wellborn's? ...Lineage dates back to the Mayflower? ...Made their fortune in bird stalking and catnapping?

A Little Mustard With Your Pretzel Round
A Philly soft pretzel is a dense, chewy, delicious salty treat that's practically a meal. Morning, noon or night, there's never a more appropriate time than now to enjoy one, or two. Of course, it's not a pretzel without a generous dollop of mustard. It's right there in the Round.

Bird and Lava #04 Round
Torkwase Dyson works primarily with the color black in an abstract style, often combining delicate brushwork with textural effects to produce complex and nuanced surfaces. Bird and Lava #04 belongs to a series that explores bird flight and lava flows as metaphors for Black liberation. Like Zao Wou-ki and Franz Kline, also on view in this gallery, Dyson is interested in reducing abstraction to a monochrome black palette, yet she insists on the social meanings that abstract forms can contain. The circular shape of the canvas, often referred to as a tondo, was popular during the Italian Renaissance. Dyson repeatedly adopts this shape, which echoes a portal or tunnel, in works that allude to systems of Black oppression and pathways to freedom.

Memorial Symbols Round
Memorial Day is recognized as a day of national mourning and remembrance for those who have died in service to the United States, therefore a solemn celebration. Events and services carry several symbols and traditions, including the raising of the American Flag to half-staff until noon, military parades and speeches, and the display of flowers and wreaths.
