Installation view, Through the Light: Contemporary Jogakbo by Wonju Seo

Opening Reception: Through the Light: Contemporary Jogakbo by Wonju Seo
Friday, September 26, 2025, 5-7pm (kindly RSVP)
Charles B. Wang Center Skylight Gallery

Charles B. Wang Center is pleased to celebrate their newest exhibition, Through the Light, with an opening reception on September 26! Melding tradition with innovation, this vibrant exhibit showcases the contemporary jogakbo (Korean wrapping cloth) art of Wonju Seo. Rooted in centuries-old Korean textile practices, Seo’s translucent compositions transform humble fabric into luminous abstractions. Her works echo the geometry of modernist paintings while inviting viewers to experience light as a living element—passing through seams, shifting with space, and casting ephemeral shadows. With a minimalist sensibility and a reverence for craftsmanship, Seo translates the once utilitarian Korean craft of jogakbo into a contemporary language of transparency, balance, and spiritual reflection.

Installation view, Nusantara: Six Centuries of Indonesian Textiles

Lecture: Living Cloth: Textiles and Society in Indonesia
Thursday, September 25, 5:30– 6:30pm
Free and open to all

Yale University Art Gallery is pleased to present Living Cloth: Textiles and Society in Indonesia, the opening lecture to their newly opened exhibition, Nusantara: Six Centuries of Indonesian Textiles. Woven into Indonesia’s cultural fabric, textiles have historically served not only as expressions of artistry and tradition but also as drivers of trade and economic activity. In this lecture, Barbara Watson Andaya, Emeritus Professor of Asian Studies, University of Hawai‘i, reaches back into the past, exploring how cloth and material objects reflect shifts in aesthetic preferences, ritual practices, and the assimilation of outside influences. In the process, Andaya examines the gendered dimensions of cloth production as it transitioned from a cottage industry to a central commodity in the broader economy. Although the women involved—whether in transforming bark into cloth, infusing their weaving with intricate symbolism, or painting the vibrant designs that made “batik” a household name—are often overlooked in Indonesian history, they bequeathed a legacy that is still thriving.

Taking as departure points several pieces in the Gallery’s exhibition Nusantara: Six Centuries of Indonesian Textiles, the lecture traverses the Indonesian archipelago, tracing historical developments and highlighting the extraordinary diversity and cultural dynamics embedded in textiles. From the headdresses of headhunters to the cosmological motifs adorning Sumatra’s ship cloths and the mythical creatures on a batik waist wrapper from Java, this journey through time reveals both unique creativity and the profound connections between textiles and the identities of so many Indonesian communities.

Be sure to join their other related programs, such as insightful gallery talks and a guided sketching session in the galleries this fall!

They look forward to welcoming you soon!

A Closer Look at Richard Morris Hunt
Thursday, September 25, 2025, 6-7pm
Pre-lecture reception at 5pm
Live at Rosecliff and via Zoom (ticketed)

The Preservation Society of Newport County is pleased to present an in-person and virtual lecture in conjunction with their newest exhibition, Richard Morris Hunt: In a New Light. In the modern era, Richard Morris Hunt is often considered an idea. His name is used as an adjective: a Hunt building, a Hunt design, and so on. This simplification of his contributions to architectural history negates the revolutionary actions he took to reform our nation’s relationship with buildings.

As a young man living and studying in Paris, Hunt had a front-row seat to Georges-Eugène Haussmann’s redesign of the city and witnessed its metamorphosis from a medieval town to a Beaux-Arts capital. He worked as a supervising architect on the unification of the Louvre project, under his mentor Hector-Martin Lefuel. His cultural appreciation was further refined during his extensive travels across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. At last he was prepared to return to America and bring his vision to reality.

Join Chief Curator Leslie Jones to learn more about America’s premier Gilded Age architect and discover not only what Hunt made, but what—and who—made Hunt.

A pre-lecture reception will begin at 5pm and the exhibition will be open for viewing before and after the lecture.
