SUMMARY:Kailash Cartographies | Closing Reception & Faculty Talk
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Landscapes Talk\n\n\n\nCome listen as New School faculty members and ICI staff share their insights from fieldwork in India\, Nepal and Tibet as part of a three-year Sacred Himalaya Initiative focused on religion\, ecology and culture in the Himalayas. Faculty involved with ICI’s research project–Rafi Youatt (NSSR)\, Mark Larrimore (Lang)\, Nitin Sawhney (Media Studies) and Sreshta Rit Premnath (Parsons)–will talk about their experiences traveling in these sacred landscapes and how this work has influenced their own artistic and academic practices as well as their teaching. A photo presentation highlighting some of the key areas from the field research will be featured. \n\n\n\n5:00-6:00 pm – Gallery Tour and Reception6:00-7:00 pm – Faculty Talk and Presentation \n\n\n\nThe opening reception and gallery tour will take place in the Aronson Gallery\, 66 Fifth Ave. The talk will take place next door in the Kellen Auditorium. \n\n\n\nDrinks and refreshments will be served. The event is free and will be Live streamed on the official New School channel. Watch it there. \n\n\n\nThis event is the final event for the Kailash Cartographies exhibition. Learn more about the month-long exhibit here. \n\n\n\nA press release about the exhibit can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibit\n\n\n\nKailash Cartographies is an exhibition of artists from India\, China\, Nepal\, and the US exploring conceptions of sacred geography\, particularly in the Himalayas.  Devotees encounter the sacred through ritual\, art\, and acts of pilgrimage and circumambulation of mountains and temples.  The artists in the exhibition pose questions about the nature of both the sacred and the secular by drawing on the points of connection with landscapes and lived worlds. The photographs\, videos\, works on paper and installations\, deploy cartographic modes that are both personal and political. \n\n\n\nThe title of the exhibition refers to Mount Kailash\, the symbolic center of the Buddhist and Bön cosmos and the seat of Shiva for Hindus. Although associated with a multiplicity of geographical sites and religious representations\, its earthly manifestation is most often located in Tibet. “It is the simultaneously singular and plural aspect of this sacred geography that caught our imagination\,” said Sreshta Rit Premnath\, curator of the exhibition and participating artist. “Every gesture within such a geography is both specifically located yet can be powerfully invoked elsewhere.” \n\n\n\nThe exhibition emerges from a three-year research project of The New School’s India China Institute focused on Sacred Landscapes and Sustainable Futures in the Himalayas.  In conjunction with this endeavor\, a group of artists initiated creative explorations during 2015-2016.  Many of the works in this exhibition were the direct result of a creative workshop convened in Kathmandu in March 2016. The exhibit is part of ICI’s ongoing Sacred Himalaya Initiative research project focused on Mount Kailash in Tibet. \n\n\n\nFeatured artists are Atul Bhalla\, Kevin Bubriski\, Vibha Galhotra\, Sreshta Rit Premnath\, Ashmina Ranjit\, Nitin Sawhney\, Radhika Subramaniam\, Charwei Tsai & Tsering Tashi Gyalthang\, Zheng Bo & Jiang Chao and Qiu Zhijie. \n\n\n\nPresented by the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center and the India China Institute.

SUMMARY:e-Waste Tsunami
DESCRIPTION:e-waste Tsunami\n\n\n\nSheila C. Johnson Design CenterArnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries \n\n\n\nMarch 5 – March 26\, 2016Opening reception: Friday\, March 4\, 6:00-8:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nBehind the virtual worlds conjured by our computers and mobile phones is the very real world of electronic trash—e-waste: where electronic equipment goes to die. Tracing the journey from wealthy desktops to the poorest corners of the world\, this multi-media exhibition defines new ways to see and connect the global ecosystems behind the creation\, use and disposal of products and services in today’s technologically connected world. Understanding the interrelation of the ecosystems is key to the design of new products and services that will address and alleviate the e-waste problem. Can industrial design\, which plays a major role in creating this problem\, be part of its solution? \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features documentary photographs of those who work with e-waste on a daily basis from the frontline in Delhi\, India\, along with data visualizations revealing the scale of the problem. Real data and “exploded view” models explore the nature of product manufacture and assembly. Exhibition visitors are introduced to the physicality of electronic products and the end of life cycle of manufactured objects\, raising the question – Why are we currently not designing for this occurrence? \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is a joint work of the students of Parsons’ School of Constructed Environments\, Industrial Design MFA creating exploded view assemblies which make up a product\, and STUDIOFYNN’s photographic documentary and data visualization. The assemblies paired with photo documentary and data analysis inspire urgency around creating new approaches to design and consumption\, international public policy and human rights advocacy. Comprehensive solutions to this problem will come about when all stakeholders – legislators\, designers\, policy makers\, NGOs\, corporations and last but not least\, citizens take responsibility and participate. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center\,  Parsons School of Constructed Environments\, and the India China Institute at The New School.  In-kind support for printing generously provided by Duggal. \n\n\n\nRELATED PROGRAMS: \n\n\n\ne-waste Tsunami: Design & Policy Response – Panel Discussion Friday\, March 11\, 2016\, 6:00-8:00 p.m.Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Auditorium\, 66 Fifth Avenue \n\n\n\nThis panel brings together designers\, policy experts\, and supply-chain participants to raise e-waste awareness and imagine best practice scenarios. The immediate audiences are those who are involved in the design and manufacture of consumer and electronic products\, while the secondary audience is very broad and covers those concerned with the broader environmental and social issues around manufactured goods and consumerism. This will be of interest to anyone who wishes to expand their view on the eco systems around the products of technology we consume today. \n\n\n\nIntroduction: Brian McGrath\, Dean\, Parsons School of Constructed Environments \n\n\n\nInterlocutor: Rama Chorpash\, Director MFA Industrial Design\, Parsons \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\n\nShaun Fynn\, CEO and Creative Director\, Studio Fynn\nAmita Singh D.Sc CFO and Director of Quantitative Research\, Studio Fynn\nJohn S. Shegerian\, Co-founder\, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers International (ERI) and Urban Mining\nPrasad Boradkar\, Professor\, Industrial Design\, Senior Sustainability Scholar\, Arizona State University.\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is Free; no tickets or reservations required; seating is first-come\, first-served.

SUMMARY:"Aboveground-40 Moments of Transformation" Chinese Feminist Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:“Aboveground—40 Moments of Transformation”  \n\n\n\nA photography exhibition of young feminist activism in China \n\n\n\nFebruary 12-26\, 2016 \n\n\n\nSkybridge Art Space \n\n\n\n65 West 11th Street\, 4th Floor\, New York\, NY 10011 \n\n\n\nThe India China Institute is pleased to announce “Aboveground—40 Moments of Transformation”\, a photography exhibition of young feminist activism and the struggle for gender equality in China. The exhibition is co-hosted by China Rights in Action\, Feminist Task Force\, and Asian American Arts Centre. \n\n\n\nFeminism calls for freedom from restrictive gender roles and for gender equality in the realization of social\, cultural\, economic and political rights. “Aboveground—40 Moments of Transformation” documents young Chinese activists’ impressive efforts to combat stigma\, discrimination\, and violence against women in pursuit of these ideals. These activists use public spaces as their battlefront to gain visibility and spark open dialogue. But in China\, bringing the fight for gender equality above ground comes at great personal risk. This exhibition frames and explores the determination with which these young feminists are pushing for a China with true gender equality. \n\n\n\nBackground information: \n\n\n\nIn 1995\, 189 governments came together in China and adopted the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. These documents were a remarkable milestone\, committing to a vision for women and girls of equal rights\, freedom\, and opportunities in all spheres of society and of lives free from want\, fear\, and violence. Two decades later\, ironically\, feminists and lawyers in China who fight for such equal rights are subjected to search\, harassment\, and even detention. On March 7\, 2015\, the Chinese government detained five women activists on the eve of International Women’s Rights Day for their efforts to call attention to sexual harassment. The women received an outpouring of support from feminists\, women’s groups\, human right organizations\, and politicians around the world. But dark clouds are still gathering inside China. Although “The Feminist Five” were released after 37 days\, it was conditioned on a strict form of bail that limits their movement\, associations\, and speech\, and they are still treated as criminal suspects by Chinese police.

SUMMARY:Climate Change Himalaya + Nature in Flux | Exhibition by KG Ranjit & Ashmina Ranjit
DESCRIPTION:The India China Institute is excited to announce an exciting event taking place in Kathmandu\, Nepal. ICI is partnering with The City Museum Kathmandu\, the artists collective Lasanaa\, and Nepali artists KG Ranjit and Ashmina Ranjit for a discussion and week-long art exhibition about the role of the arts and humanities in addressing climate change in the Himalaya. \n\n\n\nThe event includes a 24-hour performance piece by ASHMINA RANJIT at The City Museum Kathmandu’s CMK Gallery. The performance piece is part of the “Nature In Flux” exhibition organized by the India China Institute\, LAH Lasanaa and The City Museum Kathmandu. The exhibition will also feature paintings by renowned artist\, and Ashmina’s father\, KG RANJIT. \n\n\n\nClimate Change Himalaya: Engaging the Arts & Humanities \n\n\n\nClimate change is the defining issue of our times. While the impacts of climate change are unevenly experienced around the world\, communities in the Himalaya are some of the most vulnerable to change. Understanding and communicating these emerging changes is an increasingly important task for public engagement and education. Responding to this need\, artists\, poets\, writers\, photographers and filmmakers who live and work in the Himalaya are taking a more active role in documenting and presenting these changing climate landscapes to the public. To support these efforts\, the India China Institute at The New School in New York and LASANAA\, an alternative art space in Nepal\, are working to develop a new collaboration focused on engaging the arts and humanities around climate change and the Himalaya. \n\n\n\nThere is no question that addressing climate change requires the best available science\, but as we have learned\, science alone is not enough to create action on climate change. To change people’s hearts and minds\, and advance innovative and adaptive solutions to our current climate crisis\, appeals to people’s deeply held values\, ethics and spiritual beliefs are necessary—and it is here that creative thinkers (e.g. artists\, writers\, poets) have historically played a critical role in social change by making space for a diversity of voices and views. \n\n\n\nSynergies between the arts and sciences\, politics and the humanities\, are strengthening movements calling for new ways of relating to people and the planet. This includes highlighting our ability to propose alternative practices\, raise public awareness\, and take political action in these times of crisis despite widespread apathy and political inaction. These emerging global movements of diverse peoples have taken the lead on climate change action and remind us that all life on the planet is interconnected\, and that our actions\, or inactions\, impact everyone. \n\n\n\nThe discussion on 8 November 2014 will be followed by a week-long inaugural exhibition featuring the works of esteemed artists KG Ranjit and Ashmina Ranjit. This combined exhibition\, which will end on 15 November\, is an intergenerational interpretation of the climate change crisis. This event is designed to foster further dialogue between the arts and humanities and social sciences\, and is part of a broader effort by the India China Institute to broaden debates on climate change in the Himalaya. \n\n\n\nArtists’ Statement \n\n\n\n‘Beyond Recognition’ \n\n\n\nFor me love\, compassion\, social justice\, equality\, freedom are our rights as human beings. Living in harmony in our societies\, our countries\, and the world at large – are the most important aspects of life. \n\n\n\nOur home planet – the Earth – is the only place in this universe that is able to cultivate the existence of the living being for thousands of years. Human beings were so bright and clever that they fostered various indigenous cultures\, where nature\, art and ecology integrated effortlessly in to ways of life. But realities have changed beyond recognition and only memories of these harmonious relationships remain. Natural culture and indigenous knowledge have been corroded by lopsided urbanism and synthetic modernity. Earth and existence are threatened by a hydrocarbon apocalypse. We seem to have forgotten the fundamental harmonies between humanity and nature that uphold our integrity and dignity. \n\n\n\nThe more radically we separate ourselves from nature to justify our modernity\, the more we lose the ability to relate to our sustainable heritages. Because we have drifted away from nature and destroyed the eco-balance\, we are insensitive to ecological limits and interdependencies. To address the ecological crisis at every level we must develop a new culture and an ecologically rational society. \n\n\n\nIn this work\, my concern is neither focused on the trap of synthetic modernity nor the nostalgia of historical harmonies. It is about that liminal space where one is free yet not free – trapped yet unrestricted – the suspension between hope and despair\, bliss and misery. In that space the culture evolving from the present socio-political/natural scenario is both reflected and recreated. In this manner\, ‘Beyond Recognition’ raises questions about our values as human beings; character\, honesty\, trustworthiness\, duty\, and even our sense of beauty\, and relationship to natural simplicity. (Ashmina Ranjit) \n\n\n\n================== \n\n\n\nEnvironmental Aesthetics of K.G. Ranjit \n\n\n\nKrishna Gopal Ranjit is a well known senior artist with numerous exhibitions to his credit. His realistic landscapes\, with their subtle portrayals of light and shade\, are collected all around the world. In the current exhibition\, his art takes a new direction. Dealing with the theme of environmental crisis\, he has previously painted mountains without snow\, trees without leaves\, birds without feathers\, and melting glaciers and drowning cityscapes. \n\n\n\nMost of the paintings are characterized by a burst of light at the center. Dim somber colors dominate the margins; an artistic motif that was also present in his earlier realistic landscapes. What is different about the current set of paintings\, however\, is a radical shift away from the realist form. The lines blur\, losing their rigidity\, and the colors flow freely\, creating forms that range from semi-abstract to abstract. Images of Buddha and other gods peep from under the semi-abstract shapes of the paintings. Such depictions symbolize hope slowly turning obsolete in a world teeming with the threat of earthquakes\, floods\, landslides and other environmental disasters. \n\n\n\nAt the same time\, environmental crisis is not merely a natural problem for Ranjit; it is a political problem. This theme is well represented in the painting where the city structures of Nepal\, Afganistan\, Bhutan\, China and other nations of the Asian continent are shown drowning under water. It suggests not only a natural tsunami\, but also a political one that can sweep away monuments of history in a matter of minutes. The paintings in the current show pulsate with energy and movement; they seem to suggest that chaotic energies—both natural and political—are shimmering under the surfaces of everyday life. The paintings are not only aesthetic representations of the environmental disasters\, but serve also as timely warnings to the human race about the deteriorating condition of global environment. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n// \n\n\n\n\nPost by The City Museum Kathmandu.

SUMMARY:Sacred Geography: Tibet and Himalaya Photographs Exhibit w/ David Zurick
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Geography: Tibet and Himalaya Photographs\n\n\n\nPhotographed by David ZurickSupported by Eugene Lang College and the Rubin Foundation \n\n\n\nMonday\, Mar. 31st to Wednesday\, Apr. 16th65 W. 11th St.\, 3rd Fl.\, Skybridge \n\n\n\nDavid Zurick’s Sacred Geography exhibition draws from his decades of experience as a geographer\, photographer\, and explorer of the Himalaya\, with twenty large black and white photographs of divine places undergoing change. The images featured in this exhibition are drawn from his new book Land of Pure Vision\, and cover the full geographical reach of Tibet and the Himalaya.  It features many iconic natural places\, such as the Source of the Ganges and sacred Mount Kailash\, as well as numerous cultural sites including pilgrimage routes and famed sacred architectures.  A visual evocation of holy places\, the Sacred Geography exhibition portrays a world of mystery\, magic\, and beauty\, where the human spirit is in synchronicity with natural forces while it also addresses the inevitability of landscape change. Modern intrusions threaten the visual character of some sacred sites\, but such transformations do not necessarily imperil their cultural role\, suggesting that change and dissolution—hallmarks of local religious belief—may apply equally to the human consciousness and to the landscape. \n\n\n\nBio: David Zurick left home in 1975 to journey on the Overland Trail from Europe to Asia and hasn’t looked back. He completed his PhD in Geography at the University of Hawaii and East-West Center\, Honolulu\, and has written extensively about Asia and the Pacific\, with a special focus on the Himalaya region. His writing and photography have won numerous awards\, including the National Outdoor Book Award in 2006 for Illustrated Atlas of the Himalaya and the “Mt Everest Award” in 2009 for his Himalaya studies. The subject of much of his writing and photography is the contemporary cultural landscape.
