This symposium at Harvard University is presented in conjunction with teh Fresh Ink exhibition at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts.

This symposium is organized by the East Asian Art History Program, Harvard University, in conjunction with the exhibition Fresh Ink: Ten Takes on Chinese Tradition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It is sponsored by the Rockefeller Fund for East Asian Art of the Department of History of Art and Architecture and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), will present Fresh Ink: Ten Takes on Chinese Tradition, a groundbreaking exhibition in which 10 leading artists from China and the Chinese diaspora will show new works that they created in direct response to masterpieces in the Museum’s world-renowned collection. Fresh Ink will juxtapose the new works with the masterpieces to which they refer, creating a dynamic stage on which the classic will historicize the contemporary as the new reinterprets the old.  On view from November 20, 2010, through February 13, 2011, it will be the inaugural exhibition in the MFA’s new Ann and Graham Gund Gallery. , Cambridge, MA 02138
