| Give Thanks with Art | November 24, 2010
|
 What could be a better addition to your Thanksgiving traditions than a visit to the Art Museum? Other than Thanksgiving Day, we will be open regular hours this holiday weekend, so consider wandering the galleries, enjoying the magnificent collections, discovering our special exhibitions--and even finding treasures to take home from our updated Museum Store. There's so much for which to be thankful this year, including thousands of years of world-class art right in your own backyard.

 Nobody's Property:
Art, Land, Space, 2000-2010
Through February 20, 2011
Land and space are implicated in everything we do, every decision we make, and every crisis we weather. In the past several years, artists--alongside writers and activists--have been addressing the relationship between human beings and the land we occupy, and their works have bearing on subjects as diverse as ecology, geopolitical conflict, and globalization. Nobody's Property explores this development through works of art ranging from video and photography to digital animation, performance, and assemblage. Don't miss one of the season's most provocative exhibitions!

 The beautiful celadon glaze and exquisite incised design of this melon-shaped ewer from the Koryo dynasty (918-1392) is an outstanding work in the most admired of all media in Korean art. Celadon or green-glazed wares produced during the Koryo dynasty achieved distinctive features--exquisite gray-green glazes, refined forms, and naturalistic designs--during the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries that were seen as the most sophisticated ceramic work in the world, influencing artists and artisans across Asia. This work of remarkable subtlety is an important new acquisition for the collections, and is now on view in the Asian galleries on the lower level.

 Emerge! A Global Bazaar
Sunday, December 5, 1-4 p.m.
Chancellor Green
The Global Bazaar, an international development fair and global crafts marketplace, unites artisans, community organizations, and student groups in a one-day global marketplace. The fair is the brainchild of Princeton students committed to addressing global issues, and sales benefit families and villages around the world, advancing their economic viability through local industry. The Museum Store is pleased to participate in the Global Bazaar again this year, and will feature beautiful handmade crafts from developing countries, including many works made from recycled materials.

The Museum will be closed November 25; December 24, 25, and 31, 2010; and January 1, 2011. Happy holidays!
