(Capacity 50) ------------------------------------------------- As part of the exhibition "Girl with Parasol", The National Museum of Denmark is currently (until April 28th 2014) showing a selection of Japanese hand-colored photographs from Ceschin-Pilone/ Fagioli Photographic Collection. In connection to this exhibition and with support from the Danish Agency for Culture, The National Museum of Denmark, The II Museo delle Culture -- Lugano and The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts have collaborated on creating a seminar about Japanese photography form the Meiji period and its rich cultural historical and artistic significance. The invited speakers will share their knowledge on Japanese photography in order to give the audience an impression of central questions from their professional and cultural fields. The seminar takes the exhibited artworks as a starting point for introducing the audience to Japanese visual culture and photography. The artworks will also be contextualized within the framework of globetrotter tourist industry, which has had a significant importance for the Western view of Japan. The seminar is going to present the Japanese aesthetic universe, its technical elements and ideographic methods, and it is doing so with the intention of connecting to contemporary art. The cultural and visual approach to an interpretation of Japanese art from the 19th century is in fact an important part of visual anthropology, because visual anthropology has to deal with central differences between Oriental and Occidental aesthetics and art. ------------------------------------------------- January 24, 2014 10:00-10:15 Introduction by Tijana Miskovic, Research Project Coordinator at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts 10:15-10:45 Some differences concerning spiritual investments in visual art between occidental and oriental aesthetics by Carsten Juhl, Head of The Theory-Department at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts 10:45-11:15 Technical and ideographic methods in the Yokohama School by Paolo Campione, Director at Museo delle Culture in Lugano 11:15-11:45 What did globetrotters see in early Japanese photographs? by Allen Hockley, Chair, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Program, Associate Professor, Department of Art History at Dartmouth College 11:45-12:00 Short questions 12:00-13:00 Lunch break 13:00-13:30 Bridging Japanese aesthetics from 19th century with contemporary art by Miwako Tezuka, Director, Japan Society Gallery in New York 13:30-14:00 Tourism, Photography and Expositions: Yokohama Shashin and the Visual Culture of the Late 19th Century by Morihiro SATOW, Professor of Art History and Visual Culture in the Faculty of Design at Kyoto Seika University 14:00-14:30 Questions For more information about the seminar, please contact Tijana Miskovic, tijana.miskovic@gmail.com, +45 30239008
