SUMMARY:Hidden in Plain Sight: Clay Sculpture in Southern Asia
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 17\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeaker: Susan S. Bean\, Chair\, Center for Art and Archaeology\, American Institute of Indian Studies\nVirtual Event \n  \nAir-dried clay (a.k.a. terracruda)\, along with stone\, metal\, wood\, and fired clay\, stands among southern Asia’s oldest and most widely used mediums for sculpture. Typically finished in vivid color\, the medium has been largely overlooked in studies of the region’s arts\, often misidentified as stucco and terracotta\, or sidelined as too breakable and exuberantly colored to be ‘art.’ This excursion brings together some of the most prominent practices across the region to consider why painted air-dried clay has been so valued as medium for figural sculpture\, and what its sidelining reveals about the study of visual culture. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link and instructions via email once you secure your place.\n \nSave my spot! \n  \nSponsored by the South Asian Arts Council. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Sri Ram Pal (attributed)\, Portrait figure of Raj Kissen Mitter (detail)\, ca. 1849. Polychrome terracruda\, cloth\, hair\, chair; life size. Courtesy Peabody Essex Museum.
