A complimentary show of related works will be mounted at The Center for Photography at Woodstock from July 3 – August 15, 2021. Meryl Meisler’s series “New York PARADISE LOST Bushwick Era Disco” is an intimate journey through the pandemonium and ecstasy of New York City from the 1970s to the early 1990s. Meisler documents a tumultuous time in the city’s history marred by epidemics of crime, addiction, and AIDS, intensified by a paralyzing blackout and political and fiscal crises. Frequenting Manhattan’s legendary discos that arose from the disorder, she captured hedonistic havens patronized by celebrities and revelers of the night. In contrast, daylight revealed the beauty of those who loved and thrived in burnt-out Bushwick, where Meisler worked as a public school art teacher and continuously documented her surroundings. 247 West 29th Street Ground Floor New York, NY 10001 tel 646.230.0020 e-mail [email protected] web www.clampart.com page two Meisler’s effervescent photographs are a personal memoir—love letters filled with compassion, humor, and angst as well—kept secret for decades until she retired from teaching.

  • Treasures for Buddha the Legendary Offerings from Nanjing Dabao’En Temple 礼佛：南京大报恩寺的传奇供品
    TREASURES FOR BUDDHA THE LEGENDARY OFFERINGS FROM NANJING DABAO’EN TEMPLE 礼佛：南京大报恩寺的传奇供品 Organized by and Nanjing Museum Administration A traveling exhibition starting Spring 2022 TREASURES FOR BUDDHA THE LEGENDARY OFFERINGS FROM NANJING DABAO’EN TEMPLE 礼佛：南京大报恩寺的传奇供品 Built in the third century the construction of Nanjing’s Temple was ordered by King Sun Quan after foreign monk Kang Senghui introduced Buddhism to the Wu Kingdom by way of what scholars now call, the “silk road of the sea.” Originally named Jianchu Temple, it became the first religious complex in the southern region of the Yangtze River to encourage the study of Buddhism. Renamed Changgan Temple through the Six Dynasties period, it was later dubbed Tianxi Temple in the Song dynasty. It was during this period that in the fourth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1011), with the blessings of the Song dynasty emperor, patrons gathered funds to build an underground chamber in Tianxi Temple, later renamed Dabao’en Temple in Nanjing; in it, they buried a magnificent gilded Ashoka Stupa. Nestled in iron and stone containers, accompanying the stupa were treasures that included a bronze plaque, coins, gold, jade, and rare glass objects wrapped in silk. For more than a thousand years, the stupa’s existence remained a secret. Even when Ming dynasty emperor Chengzu, or Yongle, ordered the rebuilding of the temple in 1412, the underground palace remained undisturbed. After its completion, the fifteenth-century Dabao’en Temple came to be renowned the world over for its nine-story, 78.2-meter-high pagoda built with liuli tiles, a low-fired, color-glazed ceramic material.
