\nThis lecture asks several questions about Zen art\, particularly as we encounter\, enjoy\, and study it in the modern and co ntemporary world. What makes art “Zen” and Zen art “Art”? What does Zen art look like? From where and when does it arise: Southern Song dynasty China\, Muromachi period Japan\, London in the 1920s\, or Manhattan’s 19 50s Upper West Side…? No doubt Zen art has meant various things to monks \, nuns\, rulers\, literati\, and lay followers of Buddhism from the med ieval era onward. What about modern Japanophiles\, apologists for Japane se cultural identity\, Beat poets\, avant-garde artists\, art collectors \, architects and designers\, not to mention purchasers of “Zen Micro” M P3 players or “Zen” perfume? Love it\, dismiss it\; Zen art is\, surely \, here to stay. What happens\, however\, when we reconsider the lexical \, aesthetic\, and philosophical discourse on Zen art as it arose primari ly during the twentieth century? Is Zen art something to talk about\, or really nothing at all?

\n\nSettings or Shrines? Disp laying Tibetan Art
\nKatherine Anne Paul\, curator of the arts of Asia\, Newark Museum
\nExhibitions and installatio ns of art are meant to inspire wonder and delight in viewers while deliv ering multiple layers of information. Tibetan Buddhist altars installed within museums are useful lenses to focus issues of art and ambiance\, s hrines and settings\, and interpretation. By comparing the Alice S. Kand ell shrine at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery\, two altars installed at th e Newark Museum\, a Tibetan-Buddhist domestic altar previously on view a t the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, and two settings created for the Rubi n Museum of Art\, this talk examines challenges and potential directions for museums that exhibit the wide-ranging arts of Asia.

Arriving in the big city to make his fortune\, country bumpkin Raju (Kapoor) is introduced to the urban underworld following br ief encounters with a moralistic oligarch and a Cassandra-like beggar. W ooing the honest schoolteacher Vidya (Nargis) while secretly dipping int o a life of gambling and petty fraud\, Raju is inexorably drawn into mor e dangerous criminal territory. Disgusted with his boasting and love of money\, Vidya rejects him. As he finally rouses the poor into action aga inst the rich parasites who prey on them\, he reveals to Vidya that “he wears the mask of an entertainer to conceal his nerve endings\, his pain and disappointments.” \n\nThe post-Partition changes to major Indian ci ties loom large over the film’s tragicomic situations\, with the teeming city streets a vivid backdrop for legendary musical numbers. The best k nown of these is the fabulously titled Mera Juta Hai Japani (My Shoe s are Made in Japan). Description adapted from the Toronto Internat ional Film Festival.

DTSTAMP:20120313T144340Z DESCRIPTION:One of the greatest and most famous Indian films ever made\, Awaara was a global sensation. Collaborating for the first tim e with star writer K. A. Abbas\, Kapoor concocted a modern-day version o f the tale of Rama’s banishment of Sita. A judge (Prithviraj Kapoor) rej ects his pregnant wife after she is kidnapped and presumably raped by a criminal. Protesting her innocence\, she raises her son\, Raju (Raj Kapo or)\, in poverty. After being expelled from school for not paying his fe es\, Raju is soon recruited into the same criminal’s gang. When he is re united with his childhood sweetheart\, Rita (Nargis)\, now a ward of the judge\, Raju tries to extricate himself from the vicious circle of pove rty and violence and defy the judge’s deterministic belief that the chil d of a criminal is destined to be a criminal. \n\nAwaara’s marvelous\, e xtended dream sequence—with Kapoor and Nargis successively cast in diffe rent guises\, some mythological\, some modern\, continually seeking each other’s embrace but torn apart by the forces of society—revolutionized Hindi cinema and introduced the idea of externalizing characters’ inner conflicts through song-and-dance numbers. The film also marks the first appearance of the tramp persona that would make Kapoor famous: a sly\, s exy bandit and a carefree underdog who could charm a rock.
