Description

BIG! Himalayan Art focuses on large-scale works of art in the collection of New York's Rubin Museum of Art. The exhibition includes sixteen paintings, appliqué textiles, tangkas (painting or textile work on cloth), and ritual objects. Viewers are invited to experience the awe–inspiring scale that characterizes art as it is frequently displayed in temples and at community festivals in the Himalayas. The exhibition looks at why works of art are made in large sizes, where they are traditionally displayed, and how and why they are used. BIG! Himalayan Art provides a sense of the scale that is perceived by bringing together over-life-sized, intricately detailed, kaleidoscopically colored works of art.

Today

Laurie Anderson Laurie Anderson is indescribably delicious. She's hitting McFarlin tonight with her new show, Homeland, and you can bet it will contain intellectual stimulation and pure unadulterated weirdness in equal measure. An album will follow the Homeland tour in 2009. More info
