 Multiple Hands: Collective Creativity in Eighteenth-Century Japanese Painting
On view October 8, 2011-January 22, 2012
Collective creativity played--and still plays--a major role in Japanese art-making. Multiple Hands explores the collective art-making process, focusing on two types of cooperative painting practices, workshop and collaborative, in 18th-century Japan. Offering an intimate look at paintings from the Princeton University Art Museum's own holdings as well as exceptional loans from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and a private collection, Multiple Hands affords an important new perspective on Japanese painting.

Memory and the Work of Art

 Distinguished Lecture Series featuring Maya Lin
Belknap Visitor in the Humanities Time and Memory Tuesday, October 4, 6 p.m. Richardson Auditorium
Acclaimed architect and artist Maya Lin may be best known for her Vietnam Veterans Memorial, but her more environmental works use micro and macro views of the earth (including satellite mapping) to create landscape sculptures. Her work is marked by provocative relationships to enduring forms from the past.
In this lecture, Lin will explore her art that literally cuts open the land and creates histories embedded in the earth. This event is cosponsored by the Princeton University Council of the Humanities. A reception will follow in the Art Museum.
