| The purpose of this two-day international symposium, to take place at Columbia University and the Institute of Fine Arts, is to honor the work and memory of the late Japanese art historian Chino Kaori. Professor Chino was a highly influential scholar who was instrumental in introducing new methodologies to the art historical discipline in Japan, especially those revolving around gender studies and feminism. Over twenty of Professor Chino’s former colleagues and students from Japan, North America, and Europe will present papers concerning aspects of Japanese art related to Professor Chino’s work and the theoretical and methodological approaches she championed. Reflecting the breadth of Professor’s Chino’s scholarship over her nearly twenty-year career, the twenty presentations cover a broad range of objects, methodologies, and time periods in the history of Japanese art. |
Co-hosted by the Department of Art History and Archaeology, Columbia University, and the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, with support from the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture; Weatherhead East Asian Institute‘s Program in Contemporary Culture and Arts of East Asia, the Institute for Medieval Japanese Studies, Columbia University; Peggy and Richard M. Danziger; Judith Dowling; Rosemarie and Leighton Longhi; and John C. Weber.
