LECTURE AT UNIVERSITY OF DENVER:

The Legacy of Independence on Modern Indian Art

Dr. Siddhartha Shah

October 27th 5pm-6pm

Shwayder room 119

Reception to follow

The Partition of British India in August 1947 divided the subcontinent into the nations of India and Pakistan and incited the largest mass migration in human history. Independence from colonial rule was thus cause for both celebration and despair—a paradox that artists of the period represented in varied and arresting ways. Post-independence art reveals a unique confluence of mixed emotions and histories, where ancient tales and modern abstraction convey both sorrow and hope, separation and unity. In honor of the 75th anniversary of independence, this presentation entitled “Crossing the Line and Closing the Circle: The Legacy of Independence on Modern Indian Art” examines the dreams and visions of artists working after 1947, through works that convey tremendous cultural pride as well as visions of a hopeful though undetermined future.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Siddhartha V. Shah will begin his position as the John Wieland 1958 Director of the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College this November. He was previously the Director of Education and Civic Engagement and Curator of South Asian Art at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, which is home to one of the leading collections of modern Indian art outside the subcontinent. Dr. Shah earned his BA in art history from Johns Hopkins University, an MA in Hindu philosophy and Jungian psychoanalysis from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and a PhD in art history from Columbia University. His academic and curatorial projects have been featured in publications ranging from The Times of India and India Today, to The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, and Psychology Today.

Dear AAA supporters, you may have noticed that the name of the page changed to the Asian Art Network of Colorado. Beginning on October 1, 2019, the Asian Art Association in its current form will be restructured into the Friends of Asian Art, part of a new level of Denver Art Museum membership to be known as the Museum Friends.

To continue to receive museum information and museum-affiliated enrichment opportunities for Asian art, we encourage you to follow the Denver Art Museum on its page: https://www.facebook.com/denverartmuseum/

The new Asian Art Network of Colorado will continue to post Asian art related events in the region, but will no longer be affiliated with the Denver Art Museum. Please send us a message if you would like your event or news to be cross-posted.

Continuing members will continue to receive information through museum’s “On & Off the Wall” membership magazine, museum website, direct mail, email blasts and through additional social media channels. Please contact the museum at 720-913-0130 if you have additional questions.

EXPERIENCING EMBODIED SONIC MEDITATION THROUGH BODY, VOICE, AND MULTIMEDIA ARTS

With Dr. Jiayue Cecilia Wu

Lecture and holiday party at the Denver Art Museum, Hamilton Auditorium (lower level of the Sharp building).
Reservation required, space limited.
Call 720-913-0130, or buy online.

https://denverartmuseum.org/calendar/curators-circle-dr-jiayue-cecilia-wu

This talk by Dr. Jiayue Cecilia Wu situates its analysis on body-mind connections through music, mediation technology, and Tibetan contemplative arts.

Rooted in the richness of Tibetan culture, embodied cognition, and “deep listening,” Embodied Sonic Meditation practice invites new ways of using sensorimotor coupling through auditory feedback to create novel artistic expressions and to deepen our sonic awareness and engagement in the world.

Three multimedia pieces—Mandala, Tibetan Singing Prayer Wheel, and Resonance of the Heart—will be introduced as proof-of-concept case studies.

Following Dr. Wu’s fascinating talk, the Asian art department’s Curator’s Circle and Asian Art Association support group will jointly sponsor a reception and holiday party.

Lecture 6:30-7:30 pm, reception/holiday party 7:30-9 pm.

The program and lecture are free, but reservations are requested.

Originally from Beijing, Jiayue Cecilia Wu is an assistant professor of Recording Art at the University of Colorado Denver. During 2000-2010, Cecilia worked as a professional musician for Universal Music Group and EMI Record. In 2013, she obtained her master’s degree in Music from Stanford University, where she focused on computer-assisted composition. In 2018, Cecilia obtained her Ph.D. in Media Arts and Technology from the University of California Santa Barbara. Her research interest focuses on the healing power of music and how music technology can augment this powerful force. Cecilia's music has been performed in China, Southeastern Asia, the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Europe.
