China Institute | Daisy Yiyou Wang on a Portrait of an Empress

Pieces of China: Daisy Yiyou Wang on A Portrait of an Empress, China Institute
Online conversation, February 24, 2022, 8-8:30pm

China’s Qing court produced the largest group of surviving paintings of Chinese empresses, many of which were once used for ancestor worship in the private imperial collection. Join us as Daisy Yiyou Wang, who co-curated the 2019 Empresses exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum, explores an extraordinary portrait of Empress Xiaoxian, whose early death broke the heart of the Qianlong emperor. Wang will examine details of the portrait, discuss its remarkable conservation journey, and even share new discoveries about where it used to hang. Wang, who is Deputy Director of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, will also discuss how her institution will look at artifacts from Beijing’s Forbidden City through a modern lens when it opens later this year.

Close Encounters with Japanese Woodblock Prints: Making, Meaning, and Impact, Christie's Education
Online course, March 7-April 4, 2022

Japanese woodblock prints made fine art available to a wider segment of Japanese people in the Edo period; they opened a new world of inspiration to the Impressionist artists in Europe; and they are among one of the most popular categories among today’s collectors of Japanese art throughout the world. You can learn more about this fascinating and distinctive art form in a series of 5 weekly courses next month at Christie’s Education.

Lead by Karly Allen, an experienced lecturer in art history and observation and a graduate of SOAS, this online course consists of five hour-long sessions on Mondays from March 7-April 4. Students will learn how to recognize the subject matter depicted in ukiyo-e prints, about the economics behind their production and sale, and details of their distinctive cultural context and visual qualities. The course will conclude with a consideration of the impact ukiyo-e had on the development of European art.

Artist Bingyi: Land of Immortals

Artist Bingyi: Land of Immortals, Joan B Mirviss LTD and INKstudio
Zoom panel event, Thursday, February 24, 5pm EST

For the next ZOOM panel event, INKstudio with co-host Joan B Mirviss LTD will bring together Beijing- and Los-Angeles-based artist, writer, film-maker and art historian Bingyi (b. 1975) with distinguished curators Susan L. Beningson, Susanna Ferrell and David Ake Sensabaugh. This group of insightful panelists will discuss the context of Bingyi’s contemporary ink landscape painting practice. How does an artist innovate within a tradition that has been unfolding continuously over a two-thousand-year period? How does she create meaning in the context of a global contemporary art world unfamiliar with Chinese art history and culture? What role does gender play in prompting the transformation of this formerly male-dominated tradition? What is the relevance of East Asian artistic traditions to the development of world culture in the future? Join us to explore these and other questions related to historical and contemporary art practice.

PANELISTS:
BINGYI, artist, writer, film-maker and architectural designer based in Beijing, China and Los Angeles, CA
SUSAN L. BENINGSON, independent curator based in New York, former curator of Asian Art, Brooklyn Museum, NY
SUSANNA FARRELL, Associate Curator of Chinese Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), CA
DAVID AKE SENSABAUGH, former Ruth and Bruce Dayton Curator of Asian Art and head of the Department of Asian Art, Yale University Art Gallery, CT
Moderated by CRAIG YEE, co-founding partner of INKstudio, a Beijing and New York based gallery devoted to ink as a medium, language and discourse for the creation of contemporary art

A link to the event will be automatically emailed to you once you register. If you would like more information about the artist Bingyi and her artworks, please contact Craig Yee at [email protected]

Dunhuang Foundation | A “Devotional Form of Art:” Developing and Recycling Textiles Along the Silk Road

Embroidered Buddha, Banner Fragment, 7th-8th century, silk, from Toyuk, Xinjiang, China
Asian Art Museum, Berlin (III6178)

A “Devotional Form of Art:” Developing and Recycling Textiles Along the Silk Road, Dunhuang Foundation
Online talk, February 24, 2022, 7pm EST

The Dunhuang Foundation hosts a lecture by Mariachiara Gasparini, Assistant Professor of Chinese Art and Architectural History at the University of Oregon, that explores the processes involved in developing and recycling textiles in the western regions of China, beyond the main Silk Roads. During the Tang period (618–907), through a system of intra- and extra-monastery circulation of goods, high-ranking officials “sacrificed” some of their wealth in support of Buddhist communities. The gongde, literally ‘merit’ and ‘achievement and virtue,’ was applied to all kinds of Buddhist activities, including the redistribution and circulation of these “gifts.” Among the many goods that were offered and recycled, textiles provided Buddhist communities with various patterns and motifs – many of which were acquired from Turko-Iranian communities – that enabled the Sinicization of Buddhist art and its diffusion in East Asia.

 

The Dunhuang Foundation, founded in the U.S. in 2010, builds upon Dunhuang's rich legacy of intellectual and cultural exchange through programs that encourage participants to explore and expand upon the site's rich histories. The organization regularly organizes lectures by specialists conducting important research relevant to the study and understanding of Dunhuang. Recordings of previous lectures are available on the Foundation's website, click here.
