The Mind's Eye - A Photo Exhibit by Myron McGhee

2012-01-17T05:00:00Z

Cox Hall Computing Center
569 Asbury Circle
Atlanta, GA 30322
Ongoing through Thursday, May 31, 2012

The Mind's Eye is an exhibit of Myron McGhee's photographs of Tibetan monks painting sand mandalas at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

While the monks focus their attention on the artistic elements of creating the sand mandala, they also devote their minds to meditation for the healing of the earth. Observing their sacred practice, our eyes are drawn to the exquisite beauty of their art, and our minds are inspired by their religious devotion.

This collection of photographs will be on exhibit at various venues on Emory's campus throughout the 2011-2012 academic year. The exhibit is curated by Juana Clem McGhee and made possible through generous support from the university and other organizations in the Atlanta area.

Contemporary Mandala:
New Audiences, New Forms
January 21–April 15, 2012

Emory Visual Arts Gallery

Planned in consultation with Jacquelynn Baas, author of Smile of the Buddha: Eastern Philosophy and Western Art from Monet to Today, this exhibit brings together contemporary artists who explore the mandala form as artistic expression and as a tool for transformation and balance in our complex world. This exploration takes many forms, from redrafting traditional visual depictions to the use of new materials, to the performance body participating in the mandala form.

A mandala by New York artist and Morehouse College alumnus Sanford Biggers forms the centerpiece of the gallery, providing a dynamic space for music and dance. Surrounding this performance space are the works of artists Don Cooper, Faith McClure, Christopher McNulty, Andra Samelson, King Thackston, and Marcia Vaitsman. From transcendent abstracts to repetitive patterns, the multi-media works by these artists use the mandala and its residual power to address today’s physical, cultural, environmental, and cosmological issues.

Scholar’s Seminar on Modernism

2012-02-12T14:00:00Z

Reception Hall, Michael C. Carlos Museum
571 South Kilgo Circle
Atlanta, GA 30322
Sunday, February 12, 2012, 9am – 4pm

What was Modernism? Was it a style, an ideal, a politics, a form of life or none of these things? And what about its central concepts like authorship, realism, truth, teleology, medium specificity, and expression? With the growing sense that Postmodernism is in decline, we might begin to get a clearer sense of what Modernism was and what its aims were. This symposium asks whether Modernism is dead for good (and for the best), or whether its death was announced prematurely.

Discussion format: Nell Andrew (UGA), Todd Cronan (Emory), Lisa Florman (Ohio State), Elizabeth Goodstein (Emory), Sarah Hamill (Oberlin), Gordon Hughes (Rice), Dalia Judowitz (Emory), Andrew Mitchell (Emory), Charles Palermo (William and Mary), Michael Schreyach (Trinity), and others.

Seminar discussion will revolve around pre-circulated papers. If you would like to take part in the seminar discussion, please contact Todd Cronan in advance of the event at todd.cronan@emory.edu

Held in conjunction with "Embodied Seeing: Modernist Works on Paper, 1890-1962" at the Michael C. Carlos Museum. On View in the John Howett Works on Paper Gallery from Feb. 4 - May 20, 2012.

It is the special character of works on paper that they are scaled to the human body. Whether it is a woodcut, lithograph, drawing, or a printed book, these media address the body in a different way from painting, sculpture, or cinema. The eleven books and works of art exhibited in Embodied Seeing: Modernist Works on Paper, 1890-1962 carry a sense of intimacy that is related to the touch of the hand and to the seated body. Works like Vasily Kandinsky’s woodcut Schwarzer Fleck or Henri Matisse’s illustrated collection, Poèmes de Charles d’Orléans, are not meant to be viewed or read in traditional ways. They solicit many of the feelings associated with the intimacy of reading, but at the same time frustrate any effort to approach them as texts to be read or stories to be told. Rather, we look at these works, we see them, and we respond to them as visual phenomena of a highly sophisticated order. All of the books and works of art in this exhibition are from the permanent collection of Works on Paper at the Michael C. Carlos Museum and Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Books Library of Emory University.

Carlos Reads Book Club reads Hesiod's Theogony

2012-02-14T00:30:00Z

Carlos Museum, Board Room
Monday, February 13, 2012, 7:30 – 9pm

Tricky Titans, bundles of nymphs, and a revolving-door account of divine succession fill the thousand-plus lines of Hesiod’s Theogony, a mythical account of how the world came to be— and how a poet got his voice. Led by Dr. Sandra Blakely, Associate Professor in the Classics Department, readers will dive into the poetry and mythology of this late eighth-century BC poem, considering its historical context and Near Eastern influences; the ritual realities and local cults of the gods; and contemporary hypotheses for the meaning of the poem, preserved from the earliest boundary of the Greek literary tradition. Registration is required by calling 404.727.6118.
Fee: $25 for Carlos members; $35 for non-members and includes the cost of the book.

Lecture: The Dark Side: A History of Violence in Tibetan Buddhism

2012-02-16T00:30:00Z

Carlos Museum, Reception Hall
Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 7:30 – 8:30pm

Jacob Dalton, Assistant Professor of South Asian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley discusses wrathful deities in Tibetan Buddhism in a lecture titled The Dark Side: A History of Violence in Tibetan Buddhism.
From images of peaceful monks meditating on mountainsides, to the Dalai Lama teaching compassion toward Tibet's Chinese oppressors, Tibetan Buddhism is widely portrayed as a religion of non-violence. Yet a closer look at the art of Tibet reveals quite another image. Witness the demonic beings dancing upon corpses, the skulls filled with blood, the fearsome weapons; this is a far more complex and ambivalent tradition than many imagine, one that at once condemns and embraces violence. In this talk, Dalton traces the history of Tibet's ambivalent relationship to violence. By focusing on three vignettes, drawn from Tibetan myth, history, and geography, he explores the disconcerting similarities between evil demons and the wrathful buddhas that tame them, great Buddhist masters' expressions of anxiety over their involvements in violent ritual practice, and the strangely divided relationship Tibetans have with their border regions.

Sweet Smell of Success (1957)

2012-02-16T00:30:00Z

White Hall 208
301 Downman Drive
Atlanta, GA 30322
Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 7:30pm

"Sweet Smell of Success" (Alexander Mackendrick; Hill-Hecht-Lancaster/UA, 1957) (1.66:1, 96 min.) Written by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman; music by Elmer Bernstein and the Chico Hamilton Quartet; starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. Cinematography by James Wong Howe.

"Sweet Smell of Success" was dubbed by one period reviewer “one of the most cynical movies ever made.” The steely stillness of Burt Lancaster’s performance as the Walter Winchell-based columnist J.J. Hunsecker may have justly earned him a place in AFI’s top 50 movie villains but Tony Curtis’ endlessly ingratiating and deliciously craven press agent Sidney Falco is the heart of this black-hearted movie: That is, if you don’t count Howe’s rendering of New York City itself. Voted onto the National Film Registry in 1993.

Friday, February 17, 2012, 8pm

The collaboration between Kronos Quartet and the Alim Qasimov Ensemble produces powerful pieces drawn from the repertoire of Azerbaijani ashiqs—oral-tradition singer-songwriters whose song texts portray, often with wry humor and searing irony, the power of love and the pain of separation. The legendary singer Alim Qasimov is called “one of the most thrilling, unashamedly emotional performers on the planet” (Robin Denselow, the "Guardian").

Carlos Reads Book Club reads The Ramayana

2012-02-22T00:30:00Z

Carlos Museum, Board Room
Tuesday, February 21, 2012, 7:30 – 9pm

Emory scholars Joyce Flueckiger and Narayan Rao lead readers through The Ramayana.
One of India's two major pan-Indian epics, the Ramayana has had a long and sustained history in the development of civilizational values in South Asia. The Ramayana has multiple regional language versions, both literary and oral, in addition to a number of literary forms in Sanskrit itself. It's popularity and influence cannot be over estimated. Its characters are larger than life, occupy an imagined timeless past, and at the same time, they are household names, as familiar as next door neighbors speaking to the present. Episodes from the Ramayana are represented in every conceivable medium: poetry, drama, dance, song, sculpture, painting and film. Since the text of the full Ramayana is too long for our book group, Drs. Joyce Flueckiger and Narayan Rao will lead readers through a retelling of the epic, particular episodes from various regional language version, and an examination of visual representations of these episodes. Registration is required by calling 404.727.6118. Fee: $35 for Carlos members; $50 for non-members and includes the cost of the book.

T-Men (1947)

2012-02-23T00:30:00Z

White Hall 205
301 Downman Drive
Atlanta, GA 30322
Wednesday, February 22, 2012, 7:30pm

"T-Men" (Anthony Mann, Eagle-Lion, 1947) (1.37:1, 92 min.) Produced by Aubrey Schenck; written by John Higgins and Virginia Kellogg; starring Dennis O’Keefe, Wallace Ford and Alfred Ryder. Cinematography by John Alton. Preserved by the Library of Congress.

The first of five films to team Mann and Alton, this low budget, “case-file” crime drama became a major hit for the young Eagle-Lion studio. Though initially received as a new high in location-based realism, today Alton’s low-key lighting effects virtually define film noir visuals at their most stylized, expressionistic extreme.

Lecture: Dancing at the Solstice: The Maidens on the Acanthus Column at Delphi.

2012-02-24T00:30:00Z

Carlos Museum, Reception Hall
Thursday, February 23, 2012, 7:30 – 8:30pm

Gloria Ferrari Pinney, Professor Emeritus of Classical Archaeology and Art at Harvard University delivers the annual Phi Beta Kappa Lecture, Dancing at the Solstice: The Maidens on the Acanthus Column at Delphi.

In the 330s BCE the Athenians dedicated to Pythian Apollo at Delphi an extraordinary monument: a gigantic column wrapped in acanthus leaves, on top of which are three dancing maidens who hold aloft over their heads a large bronze tripod. Why this and why now? The years are a particularly dramatic period in Athenian history, one that opens in 338 with the crushing defeat of the Athenian and Boeotian forces at Chaeronea and the prospect of a Macedonian invasion. Nearly 120 years since its discovery, the meaning of the Column and the occasion for its dedication remain hotly debated topics. This lecture traces the disparate elements of this assemblage to parallels in visual and poetic imagery and identifies in it a representation of a cosmic landmark that is relevant to both Helios Apollo and to its Athenian sponsors.
This program is co-sponsored by the Program in Mediterranean Archaeology, Ancient Mediterranean Studies, and the Department of Classics, and the Carlos Museum.

Once it is finished, participants will participate in a dismantling ceremony where they may take and reuse and recycle the materials. This is a drop-in event. Visitors may come for any length of time between noon and 5 pm.

Carlos Reads Book Club reads The Ramayana

2012-02-29T00:30:00Z

Carlos Museum, Board Room
Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 7:30 – 9pm

One of India's two major pan-Indian epics, the Ramayana has had a long and sustained history in the development of civilizational values in South Asia. The Ramayana has multiple regional language versions, both literary and oral, in addition to a number of literary forms in Sanskrit itself. It's popularity and influence cannot be over estimated. Its characters are larger than life, occupy an imagined timeless past, and at the same time, they are household names, as familiar as next door neighbors speaking to the present. Episodes from the Ramayana are represented in every conceivable medium: poetry, drama, dance, song, sculpture, painting and film. Since the text of the full Ramayana is too long for our book group, Drs. Joyce Flueckiger and Narayan Rao will lead readers through a retelling of the epic, particular episodes from various regional language version, and an examination of visual representations of these episodes. Registration is required by calling 404.727.6118. Fee: $35 for Carlos members; $50 for non-members and includes the cost of the book.

Conversation with Emory's Bobbi Patterson & NY Times columnist Rob Walker

2012-03-01T00:30:00Z

Carlos Museum, Reception Hall
Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 7:30 – 8:30pm

Rob Walker is the former Consumed columnist for the New York Times Magazine, the author of Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are, and the founder of The Unconsumption Project. In an informal conversation, Mr. Walker and Bobbi Patterson of Emory’s Department of Religion, will discuss one of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism—that suffering is caused by desire—and the complexity of navigating a culture in which “desire” is manufactured by product designers and advertising agencies, and driven by our own consumerism.

This program is co-sponsored by Emory’s Office of Sustainability Initiatives.

“The most trenchant psychoanalyst of our consumer selves is Rob Walker. ‘Buying In’ is a fresh and fascinating exploration of the places where material culture and identity intersect.” – Michael Pollan."

Jacquelynn Baas will provide context for the contemporary mandala by focusing on the work of Marcel Duchamp. She will also talk about works in the current exhibition at the Visual Arts Gallery, Contemporary Mandala: New Audiences, New Forms, as well as other examples of the contemporary mandala.

Jacquelynn Baas was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and attended Michigan State University (BA Art History 1971) and the University of Michigan (MA Art History 1973, PhD 1982). Her museum career was spent at university art museums: the University of Michigan Museum of Art (Registrar, Assistant to the Director, Editor, Bulletin of the Museums of Art and Archaeology, 1974-82), the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College (Chief Curator, Director, 1982-88), and the University of California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (Director, 1989-99, Emeritus Director 1999- ). She left the museum field in 1999 to devote herself to writing, although she still consults and serves as guest curator for museum exhibitions. Baas was co-founder and director of the arts consortium Awake: Art, Buddhism, and the Dimensions of Consciousness (1999-2004), and is curator of the exhibition "Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life," currently traveling from The Hood Museum, Dartmouth College (through August 8, 2011), to the Grey Art Gallery, NYU (Fall 2011), to the University of Michigan Museum of Art (February - May, 2012). She continues to research, write, and lecture about the many ways artists working in the U.S. and Europe use Asian philosophy as a resource, as well as other topics including the Mexican muralists, Fluxus, and contemporary art and artists. She is co-editor of Buddha Mind in Contemporary Art, which documents the growing presence of Buddhist perspectives in contemporary culture. She lives and works at The Sea Ranch, California.

"Baby Doll" (Elia Kazan; Warner Bros., 1956) (1.66:1, 114 min.) Produced by Elia Kazan; screenplay by Tennessee Williams; starring Karl Malden, Carroll Baker, Eli Wallach. Cinematography by Boris Kaufman. Preservation funded by The Film Foundation. Print courtesy of UCLA Film and Television Archives.

This Tennessee Williams-scripted, Elia Kazan-directed black comedy-drama sensation (Variety wanted to know how it got past the Code) made overnight film stars out of Baker and Wallach in their first starring roles as a teenage Mississippi Delta bride still sleeping in a crib and her would-be seducer. Williams, Baker and supporting actress Mildred Dunnock all earned Academy Award nominations, as did Boris Kaufman’s cinematography.
