  • Lecture Series - Points of Contact: New Approaches to Islamic Art, IFA, NY
    H-Islamart Lecture series - Points of Contact: New Approaches to Islamic Art, IFA, NY Discussion published by Margaret Graves on Friday, August 22, 2014 From: Finbarr Barry Flood <[email protected]> Date: August 22, 2014 2014-2015 Lecture series at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University Points of Contact: New Approaches to Islamic Art Over the past decades, the study of Islamic material culture has been marked by increased scholarly attention to transcultural dimensions of art, architecture and archaeology. This interest coincides with an interest in histories of mobility generated by contemporary discourses of the global. It has taken a variety of forms, from attention to the modalities and effects of circulation - the result of diplomatic exchange and gifting, long-distance trade, or looting and reuse, for example - to research on media and regions that lie on the margins of the Islamic world, or outside the traditional boundaries of the canon. Points of Contact introduces some of the exciting new scholarship generated by these developments. This series is supported by The Gulnar K. Bosch Lecture Fund, and co-sponsored by NYU's Hagop Kevorkian Center. All lectures take place at 6:00 PM at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, 1 East 78th Street.

  • Middle East Galleries Press Release 01/30/2018
    NEWS RELEASE Pam Kosty, Public Relations Director 215.898.4045 [email protected] EXPLORE AN ONGOING HUMAN STORY PENN MUSEUM’S NEW MIDDLE EAST GALLERIES OPEN APRIL 21, 2018 New exhibition is first in a planned series of Signature Galleries encompassing more than 44,000 square feet of reinstalled gallery space PHILADELPHIA, PA 2017— Founded in 1887, the Penn Museum sent the first United States archaeological expedition to the Middle East—to the ancient Mesopotamian site of Nippur in what was then the Ottoman Empire. More than 130 years and hundreds of international expeditions later, the Museum remains a world leader in Near Eastern archaeology, with a collection of more than 100,000 artifacts; a leading collection of cuneiform tablets bearing early literary, historical, and economic texts; strong Islamic period ethnographic and literary collections; and a rich archive of historic documents, field notes, and photographs—as well as ongoing research projects in the region. On April 21, 2018 (with a Gala Celebration on April 14), the Penn Museum taps into that collection and research expertise to open the new Middle East Galleries—a suite of galleries that invites the visitor to travel on a remarkable 10,000-year human journey, from life in the earliest villages and towns to increasingly complex cities. Nearly 1,200 objects from the Museum’s collections—including such world-renowned treasures as the crowning jewelry of a Sumerian queen from 4,500 years ago, the famed Ram-in-the- Thicket statuette, and one of the oldest known wine vessels in the world—will be on view.
