SUMMARY:Where Does A Painting End?
DESCRIPTION:Research Seminar Series 2024/25\nWhere Does A Painting End?\nDate: 30 October 2024 (Wednesday)\nTime: 5:00-6:30pm\nVenue: CPD 2.58\, Centennial Campus\, HKU (free seating)\nDirections: from MTR (click here); from car park (click here)\nSpeaker: Prof. Yeewan Koon \nAbstract\nThis presentation is of an ongoing project examining the conceit of a copy and pictorial wit in the Ming dynasty\, a time when a sophisticated art market for forgeries and originals was forming. By interrogating traditional paradigms of understanding copies\, this paper considers how artists employed emulative strategies to reflect on how paintings – as artifact and as image – inhabit their own social and cultural worlds. It asks what is the implication of a “double-looking” that demands acknowledging the presence of original artworks (and not of a former artist) within the replicant? Challenging the biases of historical lineages in our current art canon\, the speaker proposes that copies were instrumental in the making of visual knowledge and\, more importantly\, reveal what happens when copies escape time. \nSpeaker\nProf. Yeewan Koon is the Chair of the Department of Art History and Associate Dean (Global) at The University of Hong Kong. Her primary research focuses on Ming and Qing art history\, with projects that re-evaluate established canonical narratives for diverse perspectives and alternative methodologies. Additionally\, she is active in contemporary art\, contributing to publications and curatorial projects at institutions such as Asia Society and Gwangju Biennale. Her current research project is a thematic study of Chinese export paintings.

SUMMARY:Rock\, Paper\, Scissors
DESCRIPTION:Rock\, Paper\, Scissors: Durable Ephemera and Networks of Stone in Quanzhou’s Zhenguo Pagoda\nDate: 20 May 2024 (Monday)\nTime: 5pm\nVenue: CPD-2.42\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Prof. Jennifer Purtle\, University of Toronto \nAbstract\nTo build a pagoda is to mobilize durable materials into architectonic form\, timber and stone\, allowing it to stand and indeed rise stories above ground level\, perhaps for several centuries. But pagodas can also be crafted using images and objects wrought in ephemeral materials: fragile printed texts and paintings on silk\, indestructible objects fashioned from valuable metals ultimately recycled\, and evanescent forms no longer produced. Once these ephemera disappear\, they exist only as embodied in the fabric of the pagoda. The pagoda thus becomes a nexus of textual\, pictorial\, and formal transfer\, a site at which imperishable media preserve others easily destroyed through artistic and intermedial processes\, to create abiding texts and images able to outlive their models. \nThis talk examines how\, in the Zhenguo pagoda 鎮國塔 (lit. “Stabilizing the State Pagoda”) at the Kaiyuan temple 開元寺 in Quanzhou 泉州\, Fujian 福建\, rock—covered with the imagery of paper (and silk\, and other fugitive media) by means of scissors (or\, more precisely\, the carver’s knife)—preserved traces of evanescent forms\, sustained their lost networks\, and served as a lexicon for decoding the forgotten iconographies of other monuments. This talk articulates the relationship of paper-based editions of the Buddhist canon\, especially printed ones\, to the stone-carved narrative program and demonstrates how single reliefs combine content from multiple sutras; it also asserts that artisans employed the logographic schema of printed-paper primers as well as pictorial styles drawn from court painting on silk\, known locally\, to maximize the intelligibility of the reliefs. Furthermore\, this essay contends that\, by representing small\, free-standing bronze (and stone) pagodas—their corpus\, like those of their paper- and silk-based counterparts\, now largely lost—the reliefs establish links to overlapping local (Quanzhou)\, regional (Min-Yue/Fujian)\, imperial\, and maritime (Indian Ocean) object networks. Finally\, by using the durable images of the Zhenguo pagoda as indices of long-lost monuments\, this essay recovers the identity of an unusual local type of monument\, thereby validating the hypothesis that this pagoda serves as a repository of\, and lexicon for\, now-lost ephemera. \nSpeaker\nProfessor Jennifer Purtle (Chinese name: 裴珍妮) teaches at the University of Toronto. She researches the artistic landscape of China\, especially that of Fujian province\, engaging questions of local and regional production of painting in relation to Chinese empires. These aspects are central to her forthcoming monograph\, The Problem of Place: Artistic Geography and Cultural Transactions in Min [Fujian] Painting\, 909–1646. She is also interested in the circulation of art objects in the medieval world system\, especially in the Great Mongol Empire and is currently working on a book-length project that traces the intersection of local and global art history in Fujian during the Song and Yuan dynasties. \n

SUMMARY:David Diao: To Paint a De-Aestheticized Picture
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nDavid Diao: To Paint a De-Aestheticized Picture\nDate: 10 April 2024 (Wednesday)\nTime: 5:30-7:00pm\nVenue: CPD 2.45\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Alex Jen\, MPhil candidate\, HKU \nAbstract\nDavid Diao\, perhaps by his own creation\, has long been an artist difficult to classify. Emerging in the storied New York art world of the 1960s\, which gave rise to such movements as Pop\, Minimalism and Conceptualism among others\, Diao took a studiously uncommitted position and developed a citational painting that continues to this day. His lasting concern has been the history of abstraction as he was\, or failed to be\, a part of it; in turn\, by banalizing the life and practice of the artist in his paintings — detailing legendary exhibitions\, sales records and stereotypes — Diao has laid bare the myths and structures that organize art history and the art world itself. This presentation provides an overview of my research with a focus on Diao’s early career from 1966 to 1973\, wherein he actively (and humorously) refused conventions of persona and process in the pursuit of a “de-aestheticized” painting. \nSpeaker\nAlex Jen is an MPhil candidate in Art History at The University of Hong Kong. His criticism on art\, architecture and poetry has appeared in Frieze\, The Financial Times\, Gulf Coast and other venues\, and he has curated projects at galleries and artist-run spaces in Chicago and Taipei. A graduate of Williams College\, Jen was previously the Special Assistant to the President and Director at The Art Institute of Chicago. \n

SUMMARY:To be Hong Kong and Modern: Ha Bik Chuen’s Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nTo be Hong Kong and Modern: Ha Bik Chuen’s Sculptures \nDate: 5 February 2024 (Monday)\nTime: 5:30-7:00pm\nVenue: CPD G.02\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Michelle Wong\, PhD candidate\, HKU \nAbstract\nThis presentation examines a selection of sculptures by the late Hong Kong artist Ha Bik Chuen (1925-2009) and argues that artistic modernism in Hong Kong was a self-aware response to the diverse current of ideas and information on art circulating in the city. Ha’s sculptures encompassed self-conscious references to artistic modernism from Europe and America\, inherited elements of Chinese aesthetics\, and his lived experiences in Hong Kong. These lived experiences included urban life\, the changing values of labour within a developing consumer economy\, and the cosmopolitan aspiration that accompanied Hong Kong’s rapid modernization. For Ha\, sculpture was also a creative and social domain where he established himself as a modern artist in Hong Kong by producing works with a highly individualized visual language. This study thus takes into consideration the social and cultural aspects of the mid-twentieth century Hong Kong art world\, and how they\, alongside the city’s rapid modernization\, found ways into Ha’s sculptures as material\, imagery\, and process. \nSpeaker\nMichelle Wun Ting Wong is a PhD candidate in Art History at The University of Hong Kong\, exploring the modernity emerging from Post WWII Hong Kong. Her writing has been published in Ambitious Alignments: New Histories of Southeast Asian Art\, 1945–1990 (2018) and the journal Southeast of Now (2019). She was previously Researcher at Asia Art Archive\, focusing on Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Curatorial projects include Portals\, Stories\, and Other Journeys at Tai Kwun Contemporary (2021)\, Afterglow\, Yokohama Triennale 2020\, and 11th Edition of Gwangju Biennale (2016).

SUMMARY:Does Picasso Still Matter?
DESCRIPTION:Department of Art History presents\nDoes Picasso Still Matter?\nDate: 5th January 2024 (Friday)\nTime: 5-6:30pm\nVenue: CPD-2.58\, The Jockey Club Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Prof. Pepe Karmel (Professor\, New York University)\nRegistration: RSVP at https://bit.ly/hkupicassotalk \nAbstract\nIn his new book\, Looking at Picasso\, Pepe Karmel approaches the artist’s work through the lens of art rather than biography\, showing how he invented multiple new visual languages and transformed the traditional themes of Western art. In this special lecture for the University of Hong Kong\, Prof. Karmel will give an overview of his book and will also address the question of whether Picasso’s work still matters today\, when contemporary art seems to have evolved so far beyond historic styles like Cubism and Neo-Classicism. Is Picasso’s work a relic of expired revolutions\, or does it still speak to art today? \nSpeaker\nPepe Karmel is a Professor in the Department of Art History\, New York University. He has written widely on modern and contemporary art and is the author of Looking at Picasso\, published in autumn 2023\, Abstract Art: A Global History (2020) and Picasso and the Invention of Cubism (2003). \nThis event is made possible through the generous support of The University of Hong Kong Museum Society.

SUMMARY:Aphrodite in Miniature and the Embodied Figurine
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nAphrodite in Miniature and the Embodied Figurine \n\n\nDate: 6 December 2023 (Wednesday)\nTime: 4:00-5:30pm \nVenue: CPD 3.16\, The Jockey Club Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Ryan Ho\, PhD candidate\, HKU \nAbstract\nThis project introduces a selection of miniature Graeco-Roman figurines of Aphrodite/Venus\, from the Late Classical and Hellenistic periods and combines both formal and contextual approaches to studying these objects with more recent theories of embodiment in classical art history. As “embodied objects” of handling\, these figurines intimately engage with and invite a direct process of sensory engagement with the viewer/handler in their use. They encourage and respond to fantasies of sculpted objects transformed into living\, conscious subjects capable of possessing an animated agency in relation to those who use them. By examining these cult figurines in their original contexts and in these “embodied” terms\, this project aims to reconsider and interrogate ancient and modern engagements with this material genre and explore the ways in which their appeal to tactility serves as evidence for the importance of haptic modes of image-making and viewing in Graeco-Roman visual culture.  \nSpeaker\nRyan Ho is a second-year PhD candidate in the Department of Art History at The University of Hong Kong. He has a background in Art History and Visual Arts\, receiving his MA from The University of Hong Kong and BA from The University of Chicago\, respectively. As an independent researcher\, digital developer\, and multidisciplinary creative\, Ryan has executed projects for a wide range of academic and cultural institutions\, startups\, and global brands alike.

SUMMARY:The Empire of Paper
DESCRIPTION:Research Postgraduate Seminar\nThe Empire of Paper: Pictures of Chinese Papermaking Made in Late Imperial China and Their Social Lives in Early Modern World\n\n\nDate: 16 November 2023 (Thursday)\nTime: 5:00-6:20pm \nVenue: CPD 1.44  Room 10.28\, 10/F\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Summer Xiaomin Wen\, PhD candidate\, HKU \nAbstract\nMy research investigates a series of Chinese papermaking album produced in Qing China and traveled to France throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. These albums entail a consecutive program of step-by-step scenes\, each of which dedicates to a specific procedure of producing bamboo paper. Despite their shared thematic focus on bamboo papermaking\, many identical technical procedures demonstrated in the scenes\, these albums take on distinct artistic languages. The variety of these albums nicely exemplify the visual diversity of pictures of papermaking produced in later imperial China while each of the albums captures its dynamic relationship with respective historical context. The intersection of art\, culture\, and technology embodied in these papermaking picture albums offers a fascinating lens through which to examine the history of technology\, labour production in both Qing China and France\, and Sino-European interaction in the early modern world.

SUMMARY:Desperately Seeking Lauren
DESCRIPTION:This talk is co-organised by M+ and Hong Kong Arts Development Council.\n\nDesperately Seeking Lauren: Yeewan Koon in Conversation with Angela Su\n\n\nDate: 16 September 2023 (Saturday)\nTime: 2-3:30pm\nVenue: The Forum\, M+\nRegistration: Required. (CLICK HERE)\nSpeakers: Dr. Yeewan Koon and Ms. Angela Su \nIn response to her 2022 Venice Biennale presentation\, Angela Su produced an installation of more than 400 items on loan from the archives of Lauren O at the Esalen Institute in California. However\, very little is known about this enigmatic figure who was arguably involved in a 1967 plan to levitate the Pentagon in protest of the Vietnam War. Who is Lauren O? How is this obscure levitator from 1960s America relevant to the world that we live in today? \nSu\, together with Dr Yeewan Koon\, who has conducted extensive research on Lauren O\, will take a deep dive into the counterculture of the 1960s in the US. Their conversation will cover the confluence of social movements\, psychedelics\, supernatural and popularisation of technology that gave rise to a fascinating era of change and infinite possibilities. Through Lauren O’s cosmological views and her vision of the future\, one could also make sense of Su’s own practice\, in particular\, her fascination with worldbuilding.

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. 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.
