SUMMARY:Wunderkammerkŏri: Reimagining and Reinventing Ancestral Legacy through Collecting and Display
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 28\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Mirae kh RHEE\, Artist-in-Residence\, Museum für Asiatische Kunst and Ethnologisches Museum\, Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin\nVirtual Event \n  \nIn this lecture\, transnational artist Mirae kh RHEE invites us into the long history of the collector and collections from both Asia and Europe. This multimedia project interrogates the presentation and collection practices of the male ruling elite and examines works from collections that extend from the famed Green Vault in Dresden to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The artist has fashioned a new interpretation of the cabinet of curiosities\, which she calls Wunderkammerkŏri\, a mash-up of German and Korean languages. Wunderkammern\, or cabinets of curiosities\, arose in mid-16th century Europe as repositories for wondrous objects but gradually appeared in 17th–18th century Qing China and Joseon Korea in the form of Chinese treasure boxes (Duobaoge) and Korean still-life genre painting of books and the scholar’s room (Munbangdo). Working in drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, installation\, participatory practices\, and emerging technologies\, like augmented reality\, the artist speaks about her motivations and exhibition plans. \n  \nArtist Biography \nSouth Korean born social practice artist (이미래/李未來) Mirae kh RHEE’s transracial life experiences led her to work between the United States\, South Korea\, and Germany\, where learning foreign languages\, code-switching\, and cultural traditions and customs continuously inform her artwork. Through the lens of transnational feminism and decolonial approaches\, she creates complex research-based Gesamtkunstwerk(e) that tell auto-ethnographical narratives. RHEE received her MFA in studio art at the University of California–Irvine\, where she was a graduate studies diversity scholar and a Jacob K. Javits Fellow. As the current Artist-in-Residence at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst and Ethnologisches Museum\, Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin\, she developed and exhibited her first augmented reality artwork Sammel-Sucht/Collecting Crave. Her solo project will be presented at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst in 2024 and at the Residenzschloss Dresden in 2025.

SUMMARY:Dreamscapes: Mohammad Barrangi in Conversation with Dr. Ladan Akbarnia and Roshi Rahnama
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 15\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeakers: Mohammad Barrangi\, Artist; Ladan Akbarnia\, Ph.D.\, Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art\, The San Diego Museum of Art; and Roshi Rahnama\, Founder and Director of ADVOCARTSY\, an Iranian contemporary art platform and gallery\nVirtual Event \n  \nGain new insights in contemporary Iranian art through UK-based Iranian artist Mohammad Barrangi\, whose layered artistic practice combines contemporary printmaking with Iranian illustrated manuscript traditions to explore narratives about personal experience and identity as well as more universal themes. Much of the artist’s repertoire carries an extra layer relating directly to his experience as an immigrant trying to find their way in a diasporic world\, but all of Barrangi’s work is layered with elements added at random in a deliberate manner to create the final collage. The Museum acquired Migration\, its first work by Barrangi\, in 2021 with funds raised by the Museum’s Patrons of the Arts of Iran and the Persian Cultural Center (PCC) of San Diego.  \n\nHear the artist in conversation with Ladan Akbarnia\, Ph.D.\, Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art at the Museum\, and Roshi Rahnama\, Founder and Director of ADVOCARTSY\, an Iranian contemporary art platform and gallery. After a brief introduction of the artist and Ms. Rahnama\, Dr. Akbarniawill present questions and topics for discussion with the artist about his work and artistic practice\, including an opportunity to introduce an upcoming live art installation by Barrangi in October.  \n  \n\nSave your spot for the online guest lecture by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link and instructions via email once you secure your place. Space is limited. \n  \nSave my spot!\n  \nPlan ahead! The Docent Council Guest Lecture on October 20 will be available online and in person. \n  \n\n\nDreamscapes: Mohammad Barrangi in Conversation with Dr. Ladan Akbarnia and Roshi Rahnama is presented as a part of the Docent Council Guest Lecture Series\, which focuses on works of art on view in the Museum as well as topics of interest in the broader art world. Lectures are followed by docent-led virtual tours. \nThis lecture is sponsored by The San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council and made possible through the cultural partnership with the Farhang Foundation\, a nonprofit organization based in LA dedicated to promoting Iranian arts and culture. \n  \n\n  \nFeatured: Mohammad Barrangi\, Migration (detail)\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Traded Treasure: Indian Trade Cloth\, Influencing and Influenced by World Markets
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 9\n10:00 a.m.–noon PT\nSpeaker: Jeevak Parpia\, Professor of Physics\, Cornell University\, and Banoo Parpia\, retired Director of Asian and Middle East Alumni Affairs and Development at Cornell University\nVirtual Event \n  \nIndia is renowned for the textiles it produced for centuries for world markets around the Indian Ocean\, from Indonesia to the east coast of Africa and beyond\, into the Mediterranean and Europe. Not only did the textiles from the market influence the Indian makers\, but the local markets also began to produce textiles resembling the imports from India. Together\, our speakers\, Jeevak and Banoo Parpia\, have created a renowned collection of Indian textiles\, which are currently being exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston in Woven Wonders: Indian Textiles from the Parpia Collection. \nUsing the Parpia collection as a starting point\, Jeevak and Banoo Parpia (with examples drawn from their collection and others) will focus on several designs that exhibit continuity\, and the likely influence of trade on design and demand. An example is the trade cloths that have strongly been influenced by Jain Kalpasutra paintings\, which often depict women in various roles. Yet\, none of the textiles featuring these images have been found in India\, but have traveled to Egypt and to Indonesia. Similarly\, there is evidence of influences of Turkey on current patola design in India and also to Indonesia. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:Striking a Pose
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 19\n10:00 a.m.–noon PT\nSpeaker: Ajay Sinha\, Ph.D.\, Julie ’73 and Helene ’49 Herzig Professor in the Art History and Architectural Studies Department at Mount Holyoke College\nVirtual Event \n  \nAn unexpected discovery of black and white photographs of the Indian dancer Ram Gopal taken by the American photographer Carl Van Vechten in New York City in 1938 are the earliest visual record of a pioneer of classical Indian dance. They show the dancer in gorgeous costumes in a variety of poses\, while the photographer changes the studio lighting and fabric backgrounds for full views\, mid-shots and close-ups of the dancer’s body. What is the visual conversation taking place in New York across the distinct worlds of the Indian dancer and the American photographer? By taking a deep dive into the exchanges across different media and cultural worlds of the interwar years\, the presentation highlights the major findings of my recent book\, Photo-Attractions: An Indian dancer\, an American photographer\, and a German Camera. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:The Art of Literacy in Early Modern Japan
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 27\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Mai Yamaguchi\, Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Curator of Japanese and Korean Art at the Minneapolis Institute of Art\nVirtual Event \n  \nReading and writing were popular pastimes in early modern Japan. From the 1600s to the 1800s\, the printing industry developed rapidly\, making printed materials available to readers in urban and rural areas alike. Woodblock printing meant that books and prints could be mass produced\, sold cheaply\, and distributed widely. Readership grew steadily as temple schools taught basic reading and writing to people from the merchant and lower classes. This talk considers two forms of literacy\, textual and visual\, that enabled people to participate in a burgeoning public life and complements an exhibition of the same name on view until August 6\, 2023\, at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. \n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nSave your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:Celebration and Sleuthing: The Strange History of Philadelphia's South Indian Temple Hall
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, July 15\n10:00 a.m.–noon PT\nSpeaker: Darielle Mason\, Ph.D.\, The Stella Kramrisch Curator of Indian and Himalayan Art\, Head of the Department of South Asian Art\, Philadelphia Museum of Art\nVirtual Event \nIn 1919 more than sixty huge carved granite blocks from Southeastern India were offloaded onto the lawn of a museum in Philadelphia. Their unique story spans over a century and reaches across the globe. This talk\, drawn from the 2022 book by Dr. Mason\, Storied Stone: Reframing the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s South Indian Temple Hall\, introduces the history of these carvings and some of the individuals involved in their movement and reinterpretation. It will pull back the curtain on decision-making in the museum and introduce the detective work of finding the blocks’ origins. In the end\, we will think together about what it means for a US fine arts museum to “own” parts of a Hindu temple in the past and today. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.
