SUMMARY:Between Toil and Toile
DESCRIPTION:Between Toil and Toile: Socialist Ornament in Printed Cotton Design from the Cultural Revolution\nDate: 4 May 2023 (Thursday)\nTime: 4-5:30pm\nVenue: CPD-2.42\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Dr. Angie C. Baecker \nAbstract\nThis paper takes up the question of socialist ornament\, looking specifically at the design of printed cotton textiles produced from the late 1950s into the early 1980s in the People’s Republic of China. Through close examination of a collection of printed cotton quilt covers in the collections of the Peabody Essex Museum and the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, the authors seek to understand how industrial designers interpreted new state policies and industrial development projects as decorative motifs on printed fabric. If\, as Oleg Grabar argues\, the defining function of the ornament is to improve upon the object it adorns\, how do the patterns and design programs of Maoist era printed cottons participate in the construction of the cloth’s visual interest and material value? Through close examination of the cotton boll as a design motif\, the authors argue that the ornamentation of consumer goods such as printed cotton implies an economy of labor\, cost\, and use value that is itself signaled by the presence of the ornament. By putting the decorative function of these textiles into conversation with their material and historical context\, we seek to bring an art historical theorization of the sensory appeal of the ornament into conversation with a growing body of scholarship examining the materiality of everyday culture in the P.R.C. The resulting pastiche of decorative motifs and political iconography combined to create a highly inventive sort of high socialist toile\, testifying to the experimental and distinctive nature of applied art and industrial design in Maoist China.

SUMMARY:Unhappy History Painters: Academic Artists and the Impossible Genre
DESCRIPTION:Unhappy History Painters: Academic Artists and the Impossible Genre\nDate: 28 March 2023 (Tuesday)\nTime: 5-5:45pm\nVenue: CPD-LG.34\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Prof. Mark Ledbury (Power Professor of Art History and Visual Culture | Director of the Power Institute\, Power Institute for Art & Visual Culture\, The University of Sydney) \nAbstract\nWhy did History painting make painters miserable? We know that the theory and the system of old regime painting privileged History painters and made it part of the aspiration of generations of young artists. But many of these artists\, some of enormous talent and application\, lived constantly in fear and misery\, failed to produce paintings on time\, or otherwise just dropped out of the race. As part of my (rather overdue) study of History painting as lived experience for ancien-regime artists\, critics and publics\, this paper will explore the multiple anxieties that afflicted artists as they tried with varying success to come to terms with the genre of history painting and the pressures it exerted.

SUMMARY:Tracing Water: Contemporary Art and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture\nTracing Water: Contemporary Art and Climate Change\nDate: 19 December 2022 (Monday)\nTime: 6-7:30pm\nVenue: Asia Art Archive (11/F Hollywood Centre\, 233 Hollywood Road\, Sheung Wan) ONLINE\nZOOM meeting URL: CLICK HERE\nMeeting ID: 999 8229 1929 | Password: 974576\nSpeaker: Prof. Joshua Shannon (Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory\, The University of Maryland\, USA) \nAbstract\nBeginning by observing that climate change demands not only technical and political solutions but a remaking of some of our most basic beliefs\, this talk turns to recent climate art for the ways in which it can guide and ignite this process. Looking at examples in forms ranging from science-fiction film to contemporary-art installations\, the talk considers the difficulty\, given its geographic and temporal dispersal\, of visually representing climate. \nSpeaker\nJoshua Shannon is Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory at the University of Maryland\, USA.

SUMMARY:An Ecology of Art Space in the East Asian City
DESCRIPTION:Society of Fellows in the Humanities Lecture Series 2022–2023\nAn Ecology of Art Space in the East Asian City\nDate: 27 October 2022 (Thursday)\nTime: 5pm\nRegistration Link: https://bit.ly/22SoFTRenwick \nThis talk will explore the relationship between art and architecture in the East Asian City from an academic and practitioner’s perspective. Each speaker will unpack what an art ecology means to their work. In addition to examining how these ecologies have transformed over time and are defined by place\, we will discuss how they are informed by global and regional movements in art\, architecture\, and cities shaping. \nSpeakers: Ms. Elizabeth Briel\, Dr. Ying Zhou \nElizabeth Briel’s prints\, paintings\, and installations begin with materials imbued with meaning—papers devastated by a typhoon or made of military uniforms\, paints of bone and lead—and frequently incorporate architectural elements. She received a BFA in Painting from the University of Minnesota\, and has been awarded fellowships or residencies from China Exploration and Research Society (Shangri-la)\, Universiti Sains Malaysia (Penang)\, and Grabart (Barcelona). \nYing Zhou’s expertise is at the intersection of architecture\, urbanism\, and visual art. Her current research investigates the arts ecologies manifested by Shanghai\, Hong Kong\, and Singapore’s art spaces. She also researches on and writes about heritage conservation\, architectural reuse\, gentrification\, and creative cities. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong. \nModerator: Dr. Trude Renwick \nTrude Renwick is a Fellow in the Society of Fellows in the Humanities at the University of Hong Kong. She specializes in the Architectural and Urban History of Thailand and Southeast Asia and is currently completing her monograph on the relationship between commercial and spiritual space in Bangkok.

SUMMARY:The Representation of Filial Piety...
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nThe Representation of Filial Piety in the Yuan-Dynasty Handscroll Four Stories of Filial Piety\n\n\nDate: 19 October 2022 (Wednesday)\nTime: 4-5:30pm (HKT)\nFormat: Hybrid\nVenue: Room 7.58\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU (room capacity: 40\, first come first served)\nRegister for online participation: click here \nAbstract\nXiao 孝 (filial piety)\, as the one of the core concepts of Confucianism\, has held profound significance in Chinese society throughout history and may have informed nearly every aspect of society. However\, the idea of filial piety is not static\, instead\, it is ever-changing and dynamic. Many Chinese artworks engage with this subject\, and the Yuan-dynasty 元 (1271-1368) handscroll painting Si Xiao Tu 四孝圖 (Four Stories of Filial Piety) is one of them. Presently collected in the Taipei National Palace Museum\, the pictures of the handscroll render four stories of filial piety. In its current arrangement\, it begins with the narrative of the wife of Wang Wuzi 王武⼦ of the Tang dynasty 唐 (618-907)\, and then Lu Ji 陸績 of the Three Kingdoms period 三國 (220-280)\, Wang Xiang 王祥 of the Jin dynasty 晉 (266-420) \, and\, at the end\, Cao E 曹娥 of the Eastern Han dynasty 東漢 (25-220). Examining this handscroll may assist us in construing the development of the concept of filial piety and its pictorial traditions\, especially under Mongol governance in the Yuan era. Seeking to explore the meaning of the representation of pain and the significance of the subject of filial piety\, I will reconstruct the formation and function of this handscroll at the time when it was produced. \nSpeaker\nLiu Meichen Annie is currently a MPhil candidate\, studying at the Department of Art History and specializing in Song to Yuan figure painting. She obtained both of her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in the University of Hong Kong\, majoring in Art History.

SUMMARY:"Red and Expert"
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\n“Red and Expert”: Photographers at the Ming Tombs Reservoir Construction Project\n\n\nDate: 14 September 2022 (Wednesday)\nTime: 4-5:30pm (HKT)\nFormat: Hybrid\nVenue: Room 7.58\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU (room capacity: 40\, first come first served)\nRegister for online participation: click here \nAbstract\nThis seminar presents a major case study from ongoing research into the aesthetics of early Mao era propaganda photography. The presentation will include an examination of representational strategies used by two photographers at the 1958 Ming Tombs Reservoir construction project to capture the social and political significance of the event in their construction landscapes. The photographs will be assessed according to three criteria used at the time in major periodicals about photography practice: conceptuality\, artistic quality\, and truthfulness. These terms help to describe how Maoist politics was put into practice for propaganda\, as well as variations in the relative importance of different subject matter. By considering the written discourse around the photographs\, I seek to contextualise how people were expected to engage with propaganda photography and\, in turn\, how photographers were expected to engage with the masses. \nSpeaker\nChristie Wong is an MPhil candidate. She obtained her BA and MA in Western art history at University College London\, where she developed her interest in exploring challenges to the nature of representation in the twentieth century\, including conceptual art\, performance art\, and photography. Her previous work includes a study of humour as a critical technique in Allan Sekula’s early photo-essays.
