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. His research and teaching investigate modern and contemporary art in relationship to social and cultural history\, with special interests in architecture\, cities\, landscape\, and ecology. His publications include The Disappearance of Objects: New York Art and the Rise of the Postmodern City (Yale University Press\, 2009)\, The Recording Machine: Art and Fact During the Cold War (Yale University Press\, 2017) and\, co-edited with Jason Weems and Laura Bieger\, Humans (Terra/Chicago\, 2021). \nThis event is made possible through the generous support of The University of Hong Kong Museum Society.

SUMMARY:Myriad Shades of Jade
DESCRIPTION:This online talk is organized by HKU Fine Arts and Art History Alumni Association\n\nMyriad Shades of Jade: the Problem and Beauty of Celadon\n\n\nDate: 16 August 2022 (Tuesday)\nTime: 6:30-7:30pm (HK time)  \nFormat: Zoom Webinar\nMedium: Cantonese\, with some specific terms in English \nEvent Registration: required\, click here \nCeladon itself is a popular term that refers to ceramics covered in green glazes. The term has been associated with a large number of wares in China and such inclusiveness is convenient and yet at times problematic. Dr Ruby Leung (Lecturer\, Department of Art History\, HKU) will address celadon’s technical and stylistic distinctiveness to articulate it artistic importance. By examining and tracing the development of various objects associated with this term\, this talk surveys the fascinating beauty that celadon embraces\, and also explores how inappropriate the term can be in certain cases.
