SUMMARY:Ottoman Influences on Islamic Batik from Indonesia
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 30\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Thomas Murray\, independent researcher\, collector\, lecturer\, and private art dealer\nVirtual Event \n  \nThroughout the Indonesian archipelago\, calligraphic batik textiles have been used during sacred ceremonies. Such cloths were made primarily in Jambi\, located in west Sumatra\, Indonesia\, but were also known from the North Coast region of Java\, Indonesia. The batik textiles were patterned by a hand-painted wax resist called tulis. These batiks absorbed stylistic influences from the outside world through trade\, pilgrimage\, and politics. \nOttoman influences on batik kaligrafi include the use of a tugra\, the official signature of the Ottoman emperor\, as an icon. With many layers of meaning\, it served as a statement of political alliance\, but also as a talismanic device. One need not be literate to recognize the power of such a striking graphic device to ward off the evil eye. \nThis lecture will offer a review of the long relationship between Indonesia and Turkey from the 16th century forward; consider the role of spice trade economics on European colonialism and Islamic local resistance; and finally\, survey all forms of calligraphic batik\, offering a new interpretation of their purpose\, which suggests these cloths may have originated earlier than previously identified\, and how this tradition continues in an interesting and unexpected ways. \n  \nSpeaker Bio: \nThomas Murray is an independent researcher\, collector\, lecturer\, and private dealer of Asian and tribal art with an emphasis on Indonesian sculpture and textiles\, as well as animistic art from other varied cultures.
