SUMMARY:The Chandayan: A Sufi Tale of Ishq between Languages\, Cultures & People
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 8\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeaker: Naman P. Ahuja\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Art History at the School of Arts & Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, and General Editor of Marg Publications\nVirtual Event \nA racy yarn\, the Chandayan recounts the romance of Lorik and Chanda\, which becomes an allegory about ishq—love for the Divine. Composed in Hindavi (using the Old Hindi dialect of Jaunpuri Avadhi)\, the Chandayan is regarded as one of the foundational texts of the history of Hindi literature.  The 16th-century historian Badayuni tells us that the Chandayan was selected for religious instruction by the Sufi Maulana Da’ud in the Tughlaq period (1320–1413). The remains of five manuscripts that were profusely illustrated sometime between 1475 and 1525 are also foundational for studies in art history. They form the largest corpus of evidence of pre-Mughal painting in north India. In his lecture\, Naman Ahuja will take us through some highlights of the paintings of this popular tale and reflect on how the “vernacular” Chandayan is a valuable source of social and cultural history that allows scholars to map the politics of language and patronage in the domains of the Sultanates. \nSpeaker Bio: Naman Parmeshwar Ahuja is Professor of Art History at the School of Arts & Aesthetics at Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi\, India and the General Editor of Marg Publications. He has curated some of the most important exhibitions of Indian art in the past ten years\, including: The Body in Indian Art & Thought\, which was shown at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels and the National Museum in Delhi in 2013; and India & The World\, in which 120 objects from the British Museum were staged in strategic dialogue with Indian objects at the CSMVS in Mumbai and the National Museum Delhi. Ahuja’s MA and PhD are concerned with reading the sociocultural history of India through iconography\, as seen in sculpture and painting\, the art of Gandhara\, Indian terracottas\, and temple worship. He has held visiting professorships at the University of Zürich\, the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence\, the University of Alberta in Edmonton and at SOAS in London\, his alma mater. His writings on the art and architecture of Indian temples\, and the iconographic shifts in the images of ancient South Asia have been translated into Hindi\, Marathi\, French\, Spanish\, and Dutch. The Binney Lecture will be based in part on his recent book on the Chandayan. Learn more about this book here.\n \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:Coexistence
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 21\n10:00 a.m.\nSpeakers: Becky Guttin\, Artist\nMOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater \n  \nDon’t miss hearing artist Becky Guttin as she presents a captivating exploration of cultural fusion and artistic innovation. Drawing from her unique perspective as a binational artist\, Guttin masterfully weaves together the threads of two worlds. Her artistic practice\, which includes the meticulous weaving of traditional sacks and integration of organic materials with technological components\, serves as a metaphor for the rich tapestry of borderland life. \n“I want to focus on everything positive about binationality\,” Guttin explains. “Living on the border\, one crosses back and forth\, witnessing profound experiences that go beyond language – manifesting in food\, landscape\, and ultimately\, in my work.” In her work Guttin demonstrates how seemingly contrasting elements – the organic and the mechanical\, the traditional and the modern\, the domestic and the industrial – can coexist in peaceful harmony. Her work stands as a testament to the power of embracing cultural differences and finding beauty in unexpected connections. \nExplore the intersection of art\, culture\, and identity through the eyes of an artist who has dedicated her life to bridging worlds through creativity and understanding. \n  \nPlease note\, this lecture is in-person only and held at the state-of-the-art MOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater in Balboa Park. \n$10 members and students | $15 seniors and military | $20 nonmembers \nSave my spot!\n  \n  \n\nThis lecture is presented as a part of the Guest Lecture Series\, which offers a platform for renowned scholars and experts from the art world to share their insights and knowledge on topics related to art history\, art theory\, and\nthe museum’s collections. \nSponsored by The San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council.

SUMMARY:Transcendent Clay: The Kondō Family’s Path of Porcelain Innovations
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 27\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Andreas Marks\, PhD\, Mary Griggs Burke Curator of Japanese and Korean Art and Director of the Clark Center for Japanese Art\, Minneapolis Institute of Art\nVirtual Event \n  \nThe legacy of porcelain making in Kyoto’s Kondō family was started by Kondō Yūzō (1902–1985) in the 1930s. His sons Yutaka (1932–1983) and Hiroshi (1936–2012) continued what their father had achieved. Ultimately it was the grandson Takahiro (born 1958) who emerged as the family’s greatest innovator by developing the secret technique of applying a “silver mist” (gintekisai) of metallic droplets to his modern forms and using glass in his works. This talk will discuss these four artists in connection with Transcendent Clay\, an exhibition largely of works from the collection of Carol and Jeffrey Horvitz\, that is on view at the Minneapolis Institute of Art\, March 1–September 7\, 2025. \nSpeaker Bio: Andreas Marks oversees the renowned collection of Japanese and Korean art at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia). He came to Mia from the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture\, in California\, where he was the director and chief curator for five years starting in 2008. Andreas has a PhD from Leiden University in the Netherlands and a master’s degree in East Asian Art History from the University of Bonn\, Germany. With more than 20 years of experience in the field of Japanese art\, Marks has curated more than 60 exhibitions at 38 institutions in the world\, including the Birmingham Museum of Art; Detroit Institute of Arts; the Honolulu Museum of Art; San Antonio Museum of Art; and the Suntory Museum of Art\, Tokyo\, Japan\, some of which have been reviewed in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Marks has lectured at 43 institutions in the US\, Europe\, and Asia\, and is an award-winning author of 24 books and countless essays about various aspects of Japanese art. In 2024\, he was awarded the commendation of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs for his contributions to the promotion of Japanese culture. \n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nSave your spot by clicking on this link.
