Description
The Art Institute of Chicago recently opened their brand new galleries of South and Southeast Asian art. Episode 17 of the Ancient Art Podcast takes a close look the new installation, space, and hundreds of objects exhibited. Learn about the decisions curators make when exhibiting artwork and how both ancient and modern cultural ideas affect the installation. While exploring the symbolism and iconography found throughout Hindu and Buddhist art, we'll closely analyze one particularly exemplary work of sculpture, the 12th century Indian statue of the Divine General Kartikeya.
