An Evening with Dr. Nancy Berliner: Inspired by Rocks
About This Event
The evening opens with a welcome and introduction by Donna Dodson, guest curator of the Scholars' Rocks exhibition, who will in turn introduce our featured speaker, Dr. Nancy Berliner, Wu Tung Senior Curator of Chinese Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Dr. Berliner will present Inspired by Rocks: A Chinese Tradition and Its Unending Influence, tracing the centuries-old practice of collecting and contemplating scholars' rocks (gongshi) and exploring how this tradition continues to shape artists working today.
Following the talk, Dodson and Berliner will lead a curators' walk-through of the exhibition, discussing objects on view and the ideas behind them. The evening will close with remarks connecting each artist in the exhibition to the themes raised in Dr. Berliner's talk.
