A Case Study on Jade Imitation: Jade Vessels from the Xuzhou Shizishan Western Han Tomb
The University of Chicago holds a workshop on jade imitation.
Eileen Lam, from Art Institute of Chicago, will lead a workshop on "A Case Study on Jade Imitation: Jade Vessels from the Xuzhou Shizishan Western Han Tomb".
This workshop serves as a critical forum for the presentation of work addressing problems in the visual and material studies of East Asia, a region defined broadly to include China, Central, Asia, Japan, Korea, and Tibet. This workshop explores if and how theories of visuality current in western contexts may be applied to East Asia, and how approaches from both Eastern and Western scholarship may be fruitfully combined in visual and material studies.
