SUMMARY:The Laboring of Art
DESCRIPTION:Art History Seminar:\nThe Laboring of Art: The Rise of Socialist Amateur Art Practice and the Arrival of the Contemporary in the People’s Republic of China\nDate: 14 December 2020 (Monday) \nTime: 10:00am\nVenue: Zoom\n \nRegistration required. \nThis talk takes up the question of amateur art practice during the socialist period (late 1940s to late 1970s) in China\, and its attempt to convert the rarified practice of processional\, academy-trained artists into an everyday praxis. Known variously as yeyu meishu chuangzuo\, qunzhong meishu huodong\, gongnongbing meishu\, and nongmin hua\, amateur art practice originated from small art study groups held at industrial and agricultural labor sites\, where rural farmers and industrial workers met to create images depicting their labor and lifestyles. I argue that socialist amateur art practice not only changed the class and labor relations that had previously defined the fine arts\, but also converted the expert and professional cultures of the fine arts into a grassroots practice of the everyday. By creating new publics for art appreciation\, and by centering art production outside the academy\, amateur art practice challenged the dominance of the art academy as a legitimizing site of training\, and evacuated concepts of artistic genius and technical accomplishment. I end the talk by connecting the amateur art activity of the socialist period with the experimental art practices of the Reform period\, asking how the mantle of avant-garde practices was passed from the revolutionary guard to its political and cultural dissidents. \nSpeaker: Angie Baecker  \nAngie Baecker is a lecturer in the Department of Art History at the University of Hong Kong. Her research focuses on the cultural and material history of Maoist China\, the politics of aesthetic\, and the postsocialist legacy in contemporary China. She received her PhD in 2020 from the University of Michigan\, and holds a master’s degree in modern Chinese literature from Tsinghua University.

SUMMARY:Watermoon Avalokiteshvara Paintings and their Viewers and Producers in East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nWatermoon Avalokiteshvara Paintings and their Viewers and Producers in East Asia\nDate: 10 December 2020 (Thursday)\nTime: 5:30-6:30pm \nVenue: 7.58\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\n \nOnline attendance via Zoom is possible (click here for the zoom link)\nMeeting ID: 979 3264 4258 (no password required) \nAbstract\nEver since its earliest inception in the metropolitan capitals of Luoyang and Chang’an of Tang China (618-907 CE)\, Watermoon Avalokiteshvara as a subject matter of depiction had spread to different polities of East Asia in the following centuries. Polities such as Wuyue (907-978 CE) and Song (960-1279 CE) in China continued to produce Watermoon Avalokiteshvara images\, making stylistic and iconographic innovations that reflect the different preferences of the day. This image was also spread to Japan and Korea. By the 14th century\, both Kamakura Japan (1192-1333 CE) and the Koryo Kingdom (918-1392 CE) in Korea had become important centres for consuming and producing images of Watermoon Avalokiteshvara. \nIn this presentation\, I first argue how one should view Watermoon Avalokiteshvara paintings in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (907-979 CE) and Song periods alongside contemporaneous art historical development. Most relevant to this discussion is landscape painting’s development as genre. I then revisit the Koryo examples and argue for a multi-identities perspective of viewing them both as representative of Koryo national style and within the context of the larger Yuan imperium (1271-1368 CE). This transnational perspective can also garner better understandings of what I termed Sino-Japanese examples found in 14th century Kamakura Japan. This presentation concludes with a close reading of two enigmatic examples of Watermoon Avalokiteshvara in the Nara National Museum and the Rijksmuseum collections in Japan and the Netherlands. I shall argue how these works are results of transnational exchanges. \nSpeaker\nMr. Konstance Chuntung Li is a final year doctoral student at the Department of Art History\, University of Hong Kong. He holds a M.St. in Archaeology from the University of Oxford. His current research has received generous support from the Japan Foundation and is a comprehensive study that examines Watermoon Avalokiteshvara paintings in East Asia from the 9th to the 14th centuries. At present\, Mr. Li is also a member of the National Gallery Singapore’s Language Panel.

SUMMARY:An Unexpected Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Art and its Histories: Scholars in Lecture\nAn Unexpected Masterpiece: Luo Ping’s Ghost Amusement Scroll\nDate:  9 September 2020 (Wednesday)\nTime: 6:30-7:30pm\nRegistration: Click here to join the Free Facebook Live Webinar \nThis lecture introduces one of the most unusual iconic works in Chinese art history. It is a painting that by all counts should not be a “masterpiece.” It is a painting of ghosts (rather than a landscape)\, it is a handscroll of smaller paintings in uneven sizes mounted together (therefore somewhat ad hoc)\, and it was made by an artist seeking patrons after years of being under his charismatic teacher’s shadow. It also collected over 160 admiring colophons. So why did this painting garner such attention? Why is Luo Ping’s Ghost Amusement Scroll important? This lecture given by HKU’s Dr. Yeewan Koon in conversation with Orientations Magazine publisher Yifawn Lee looks at how Chinese paintings are mediators of intimate relationships\, whether between painters and their audiences or between masters and disciples\, and why the strange world of ghosts captured the imagination of an eighteenth-century Chinese art world. \nArt and its Histories: Scholars in Lecture is a series of public lectures organized by the Art History Department\, The University of Hong Kong and presented in collaboration with Asia Society Hong Kong Center\, Friends of Hong Kong Museum of Art\, and the University of Hong Kong Museum Society. The programs aim to deliver current art-historical thinking in an accessible manner presented by specialists in the field. The series is part of the Art History Department’s broader dedication to promoting the importance and relevance of art history in Hong Kong. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:  \nDr. Yeewan Koon is Chair of the Department of Art History at The University of Hong Kong. Her primary research is on Chinese painting and she is currently completing a study on the “self-knowing” copy in the sixteenth century. Koon’s academic interest also expands into contemporary art in Asia with a recent monograph of Yoshitomo Nara\, and curatorial work at the Gwangju Biennale (2018) and a forthcoming exhibition on Hong Kong art in Helsinki (2021). She is the recipient of numerous awards including from the American Council of Learned Scholar\, and as Fulbright Senior Fellow. \nYifawn Lee is the publisher and editor of Orientations\, a scholarly magazine for collectors and connoisseurs of East and Southeast Asia\, the Himalayas and South Asia founded in 1969. After finishing her studies\, she worked in finance and later joined Orientations in 2008. In 2014\, she founded Asian Art Hong Kong as a platform to provide art-related lectures and events. In 2018\, she helped organize ‘The Blue Road: Mastercrafts from Persia’ at Liang Yi Museum and ‘From Two Arises Three: The Collaborative Works of Arnold Chang and Michael Cherney’ at The University Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong. She currently sits on the advisory board of Liang Yi Museum and on the executive committee of the Friends of Hong Kong Museum of Art. \nCo-presented by: \n
