FASHIONING THE DIVINE
South Asian Sculpture at the Ackland Art Museum
January 21 to March 25, 2007
Carolyn Wood and Pika Ghosh
From graceful dancers to sword-wielding celestial women, from the creative power of Shiva to the compassion of the Buddha, the objects in Fashioning the Divine illuminate the desire of whole communities to overcome any and all distance between human beings and divine figures in South Asia between the second and thirteenth centuries. Like the beliefs these pieces embody, the exhibition is richly varied and complex. Each object serves as a small piece in an elaborate jigsaw puzzle, suggesting centuries of architecture, narrative, as well as individual and communal devotion across the Indian subcontinent.
More than seven years in the planning, Fashioning the Divine celebrates twenty-four South Asian sculptures and fragments from the Ackland Collection, many of which, have never before been on display in the Ackland!
