Gallery Talk: Earthly Hollows: Cave and Kiln Transformation

Please join Ellen Huang, Curatorial Fellow, Asian Art at Cantor Arts Center for a gallery talk in Earthly Hollows: Cave and Kiln Transformation.

Earthly Hollows: Cave and Kiln Transformation presents a focused look at caves and kilns, aka “earthly hollows,” as symbolic and physical passages of transformation. Drawing from Cantor’s rich collection of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art, Earthly Hollows: Cave and Kiln Transformation examines the dynamic ways in which caves, be they mountain grottoes or kilns, tunnel-like chambers made of earth and clay, interface mundane and mystical realms.

This exhibition is on view from October 18, 2017 - March 18, 2018 in the Madeleine H. Russell Gallery.
