SUMMARY:Gateway to Himalayan Art – Rubin Museum
DESCRIPTION:Gateway to Himalayan Art introduces the main forms\, concepts\, meanings\, and religious traditions of Himalayan art with objects from the collection of the Rubin Museum of Art\, New York. A large multimedia map at the start of the exhibition orients viewers to the greater Himalayan region\, which encompasses Indian\, Nepalese\, Bhutanese\, and Tibetan cultures as well as interrelated Mongolian and Chinese traditions. Gateway invites exploration of these diverse cultural spheres through exemplary objects presented in three thematic sections: Symbols and Meanings\, Materials and Technologies\, and Living Practices. It also includes voices from Himalayan artists and contemporaries\, along with connections to related digital content to learn more. \nThe exhibition features sculptures\, Tibetan scroll paintings (thangkas)\, ritual implements\, medical instruments\, and instructional paintings\, as well as a stupa and prayer wheel. The commissioning\, creation\, and use of such objects are tied to the accumulation of merit\, religious advancement\, and hopes for wealth\, long life\, and well-being. Special installations include displays detailing the process of Nepalese lost-wax metal casting and the stages of creating a thangka. A Tibetan shrine cabinet presents how these objects would be displayed in a traditional household shrine \nThis traveling exhibition is organized and provided by the Rubin Museum of Art and curated by Senior Curator of Himalayan Art Elena Pakhoutova. Gateway to Himalayan Art is an integral component of the Rubin Museum’s Project Himalayan Art\, a three-part initiative that also includes the publication Himalayan Art in 108 Objects and a digital platform. Together they provide introductory resources for learning about and teaching Himalayan art.

SUMMARY:Against the Current: Lain Singh Bangdel – Art\, National Identity\, and a Modernist Critique
DESCRIPTION:Against the Current: Art\, National Identity\, and a Modernist Critique features the paintings of eminent Nepali artist Lain Singh Bangdel. Born and raised on a tea plantation in Darjeeling\, India\, Bangdel went on to study visual art in Kolkata (Calcutta) and Paris\, eventually serving in leadership positions in the Royal Nepal Academy\, the Nepal Association of Fine Art\, and the Nepal Art Council. A recognized polymath\, Bangdel also was a novelist and art historian whose published research has played a key role in the repatriation of stolen sculptures back to Nepal. The exhibition is broadly organized around Bangdel’s historical trajectory and features twenty-five paintings not previously exhibited in the United States\, as well as large-scale works that he created while teaching at Denison University as a Fulbright faculty. \nAgainst the Current is part of the Otterbein & the Arts: Opening Doors to the World (ODW) Fall 2024 – Himalayas programming. ODW is a programming and publication series that seeks to dissolve deeply rooted patterns of “othering” and to move audiences beyond single narratives toward more nuanced understandings of peoples\, cultures\, and identities.

SUMMARY:Against the Current: Lain Singh Bangdel – Art\, National Identity\, and a Modernist Critique
DESCRIPTION:Against the Current: Art\, National Identity\, and a Modernist Critique features the paintings of eminent Nepali artist Lain Singh Bangdel. Born and raised on a tea plantation in Darjeeling\, India\, Bangdel went on to study visual art in Kolkata (Calcutta) and Paris\, eventually serving in leadership positions in the Royal Nepal Academy\, the Nepal Association of Fine Art\, and the Nepal Art Council. A recognized polymath\, Bangdel also was a novelist and art historian whose published research has played a key role in the repatriation of stolen sculptures back to Nepal. The exhibition is broadly organized around Bangdel’s historical trajectory and features twenty-five paintings not previously exhibited in the United States\, as well as large-scale works that he created while teaching at Denison University as a Fulbright faculty. \nAgainst the Current is part of the Otterbein & the Arts: Opening Doors to the World (ODW) Fall 2024 – Himalayas programming. ODW is a programming and publication series that seeks to dissolve deeply rooted patterns of “othering” and to move audiences beyond single narratives toward more nuanced understandings of peoples\, cultures\, and identities.

SUMMARY:Gateway to Himalayan Art – Rubin Museum
DESCRIPTION:Gateway to Himalayan Art introduces the main forms\, concepts\, meanings\, and religious traditions of Himalayan art with objects from the collection of the Rubin Museum of Art\, New York. A large multimedia map at the start of the exhibition orients viewers to the greater Himalayan region\, which encompasses Indian\, Nepalese\, Bhutanese\, and Tibetan cultures as well as interrelated Mongolian and Chinese traditions. Gateway invites exploration of these diverse cultural spheres through exemplary objects presented in three thematic sections: Symbols and Meanings\, Materials and Technologies\, and Living Practices. It also includes voices from Himalayan artists and contemporaries\, along with connections to related digital content to learn more. \nThe exhibition features sculptures\, Tibetan scroll paintings (thangkas)\, ritual implements\, medical instruments\, and instructional paintings\, as well as a stupa and prayer wheel. The commissioning\, creation\, and use of such objects are tied to the accumulation of merit\, religious advancement\, and hopes for wealth\, long life\, and well-being. Special installations include displays detailing the process of Nepalese lost-wax metal casting and the stages of creating a thangka. A Tibetan shrine cabinet presents how these objects would be displayed in a traditional household shrine \nThis traveling exhibition is organized and provided by the Rubin Museum of Art and curated by Senior Curator of Himalayan Art Elena Pakhoutova. Gateway to Himalayan Art is an integral component of the Rubin Museum’s Project Himalayan Art\, a three-part initiative that also includes the publication Himalayan Art in 108 Objects and a digital platform. Together they provide introductory resources for learning about and teaching Himalayan art.

SUMMARY:Against the Current: Lain Singh Bangdel – Art\, National Identity\, and a Modernist Critique
DESCRIPTION:Against the Current: Art\, National Identity\, and a Modernist Critique features the paintings of eminent Nepali artist Lain Singh Bangdel. Born and raised on a tea plantation in Darjeeling\, India\, Bangdel went on to study visual art in Kolkata (Calcutta) and Paris\, eventually serving in leadership positions in the Royal Nepal Academy\, the Nepal Association of Fine Art\, and the Nepal Art Council. A recognized polymath\, Bangdel also was a novelist and art historian whose published research has played a key role in the repatriation of stolen sculptures back to Nepal. The exhibition is broadly organized around Bangdel’s historical trajectory and features twenty-five paintings not previously exhibited in the United States\, as well as large-scale works that he created while teaching at Denison University as a Fulbright faculty. \nAgainst the Current is part of the Otterbein & the Arts: Opening Doors to the World (ODW) Fall 2024 – Himalayas programming. ODW is a programming and publication series that seeks to dissolve deeply rooted patterns of “othering” and to move audiences beyond single narratives toward more nuanced understandings of peoples\, cultures\, and identities.
