SUMMARY:Tamil Yoginis: Goddesses of Multiplicity
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 11\n10:00 a.m.–noon PT\nSpeaker: Katherine E. Kasdorf\, Associate Curator of Arts of Asia and the Islamic World at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA)\nVirtual Event \n  \nAmong the sculptures visitors encounter in the Detroit Institute of Arts’ gallery of Indian and Southeast Asian art is a life-sized yogini goddess from southern India\, carved from stone sometime between the late ninth and mid-tenth century. Embodying both attractive and threatening characteristics\, she projects an unmistakable power. In the temple for which she was made\, which no longer survives\, this power would have been amplified by potentially dozens of other such goddesses enshrined alongside her\, many of which are now housed in museums throughout North America\, Europe\, and India. This presentation will explore the changing contexts to which the DIA yogini and her companions have belonged\, from the temple that once enshrined them\, to multiple later shrines\, to the museums that house many of them today. \nKatherine E. Kasdorf is Associate Curator of Arts of Asia and the Islamic World at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). Curatorial projects include new permanent collection galleries at the DIA and the Walters Art Museum\, where she previously held a Wieler-Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellowship\, and the Walters exhibition Ferocious Beauty: Wrathful Deities from Tibet and Nepal. She has published articles on architectural reuse in Hindu and Islamic contexts in South Asia and on works of Tibetan art at the Walters Art Museum. With colleagues\, she is currently planning an exhibition that will bring together a group of now-dispersed yogini goddess sculptures from Tamil Nadu (southern India)\, which will explore their many transformations over a 1000-year history. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.

This tour will cover the rebirth of interest in the human world during the Renaissance and examine how those artists influenced the art of future generations who have used the human form to express their concerns and represent the world in which they live. \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour: Modern Women
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February  22nd \n1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. PT \n  \nThe contributions of women artists to the development of modern and contemporary art cannot be overstated. The variety of work spans scale\, media\, and artistic approach—from gestural brushwork\, cerebral and meditative works on paper\, to photography that questions our identities and popular culture. Intelligent\, ironic\, and often pushing established boundaries of subject and media\, the works and the artists are as diverse and complex as the rapidly shifting centuries in which they were created.  This tour will explore the incredible contributions of these dynamic artists. \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bollywood: 2000 Years of Dance in the Arts of South Asia\, Southeast Asia\, and the Himalayan Region
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 23\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Forrest McGill\, Wattis Senior Curator of South and Southeast Asian Art\, Asian Art Museum (San Francisco)\nVirtual Event \n  \nThe lecture focused on the major exhibition Beyond Bollywood: Dance in the Arts of South Asia\, Southeast Asia\, and the Himalayan Region opening in late March at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. \nLearn about the different meanings and ideas that dance has conveyed over the last two millennia in the Indian cultural sphere\, where dance has played—and continues to play—an especially meaningful part in religion\, mythology\, courtly life\, and ceremonies. Representing five possible answers to the question “What is dance accomplishing here?”\, the included artworks are grouped into five sections: Destruction and Creation; Devotion; Subjugation; Glorification; and Celebration. The lecture addresses how each of these ideas has been embodied in artworks representing dance. \nThe lecture also shows how the elaborate exhibition design reflects the dynamic and emotionally engaging nature of dance itself. The exhibition space of each section includes an evocative environment in which visitors are invited to experience an immersive journey of sensation. Whether the mood is reverent\, awed\, or celebratory\, each section elicits a unique response. \n  \nForrest McGill\, Wattis Senior Curator of South and Southeast Asian Art\, has worked at the Asian Art Museum for more than twenty years. Previously he was a museum administrator and a teacher\, curator\, researcher\, and writer in Asian art. Major exhibitions he organized or co-organized include The Rama Epic: Hero\, Heroine\, Ally\, Foe (2016); Gorgeous\, a joint project with SFMOMA (2014); Emerald Cities: Arts of Siam and Burma\, 1775–1950 (2009)\, A Curious Affair: The Fascination between East and West (2006)\, and The Kingdom of Siam: The Arts of Central Thailand\, 1350-1800 (2005). He edited or co-edited the catalogs for all these exhibitions. \nFor the last several years McGill has been co-organizing with the Cincinnati Art Museum the major exhibition Beyond Bollywood: 2000 Years of Dance in the Arts of South Asia\, Southeast Asia\, and the Himalayan Region\, which will be at the Asian Art Museum March 31-July 10\, 2023.

SUMMARY:Gods in Living Color: 19th-Century Devotional Lithographs from Calcutta
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 11\n10:00 a.m.–noon PT\nSpeaker: Laura Weinstein\, Ananda Coomaraswamy Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\nVirtual Event \n  \nFor over two thousand years\, artists in the Indian Subcontinent have depicted Hindu deities through a wide range of media\, frequently innovating when new techniques and materials became available or in response to social or religious changes. One such moment occurred during the 19th century in the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata)\, when new technologies of reproduction and systems of representation brought by the British Raj—and its allied systems of commerce and culture—opened up new representational possibilities. This lecture will address what happened when lithography and other depictive tools entered a local visual ecosystem already rich with indigenous forms of painted and printed devotional imagery. The new forms of sacred and mythological imagery that Bengali artists created during this moment of transformation were\, until recently\, mostly excluded from the art historical canon. Celebrating and exploring them not only broadens our view of the history of Indian art and religion but also helps us to understand the ever-expanding universe of sacred images that we see in home\, shop and office shrines around the globe today. \nLaura Weinstein is Ananda Coomaraswamy Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. Under Vidya Dehejia’s supervision she received her Ph.D. at Columbia University\, where she researched Persian and Urdu manuscripts from the Qutb Shahi sultanate of Golconda. At the MFA she has lead the reinstallation of the Museum’s South Asian\, Southeast Asian and Islamic art collections and has curated exhibitions including Ink\, Silk & Gold: Islamic Art from the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and Megacities Asia\, as well as numerous smaller exhibitions drawing on the MFA’s holdings. Among her most recent publications are MFA Highlights: Arts of South Asia\, and “Worshippers of Nataraja Still” in Beyond Bollywood: 2000 Years of Dance in the Arts of South Asia\, Southeast Asia and the Himalayan Region. \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. Space is limited. \nSave my spot! \nFree for active South Asian Arts Council (renewed for 2022-2023) and SDMA members | $10 for all others \n  \nSponsored by the South Asian Arts Council. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Calcutta Art Studio\, Gauranga Avatara/Kali\, about 1890\, Kolkata\, lithograph.

SUMMARY:The Art and Life of Fukuda Kodōjin: Japan’s Great Poet and Landscape Artist
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 30\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Andreas Marks\, Ph.D.\, Mary Griggs Burke Curator of Japanese and Korean Art\, Minneapolis Institute of Arts\nVirtual Event \n  \nFukuda Kodōjin (1865–1944) was one of a handful of scholar-artists who continued the tradition of Japanese literati painting (nanga) in the early twentieth century. Kodōjin’s painting style is characterized by bizarrely shaped mountain forms rendered in vivid color or monochromatic ink that often include a solitary scholar enjoying the expansive beauty of nature. Not only a painter\, Kodōjin was also an accomplished poet and calligrapher patronized by influential industrialists and politicians of the era. Following his death\, he slipped into obscurity\, and today is more appreciated outside his native Japan. The result of fifteen years of extensive research into more than eight hundred works\, the Minneapolis Institute of Art will present the first ever exhibition of Kodōjin outside of Japan along with a 344-page book. This exhibit will run from April to June of 2023. \n\nDr. Andreas Marks is the ​Mary Griggs Burke Curator of Japanese and Korean Art and Director of the Clark Center at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. From 2008 to 2013 he was the Director and Chief Curator of the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture in California. He has a master’s degree in East Asian Art History from the University of Bonn\, and a Ph.D. from Leiden University in the Netherlands. \n\n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nPlease save your spot by clicking on this link.
