A symposium in conjunction with the exhibit “The Sound of One Hand: Paintings and Calligraphy by Zen Master Hakuin”
JASA and the Japan Society are co-sponsoring an afternoon symposium on the art of Zen master Hakuin Ekaku. The speakers will be Stephen L. Addiss, Tucker-Boatwright Professor of Humanities-Art, University of Richmond; David Rosand, Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art History, Columbia University; and Matthew Welch, Assistant Director of Curatorial Affairs and Curator of Japanese and Korean Art, Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
The symposium follows the opening of the exhibit “The Sound of One Hand: Paintings and Calligraphy by Zen Master Hakuin,” which will be at the Japan Society until January 16, 2011. Widely acknowledged as the leading Zen master of the last five centuries, Hakuin Ekaku (1685–1768) was also the most significant Zen artist of his time. He not only expressed the mind and heart of Zen for monks and lay followers (it was he who first asked “What is the sound of one hand?”), but also reached out to the entire population with his painting and calligraphy. For this first exhibition in the West devoted to Hakuin, 75 of his scrolls will be gathered from collections in the United States and Japan. The exhibit is organized in collaboration with New Orleans Museum of Art, and is curated by Audrey Yoshiko Seo and Stephen Addiss.
Tickets are $7 for JASA or Japan Society members and can be bought online at the Japan Society Web site or at the door.
