Join us on September 12 to explore the world of the Tsuzuri Project, which uses ultra-high-resolution photography in combination with classical painting and craft techniques to create singular objects based on Japanese folding screens in overseas collections.
This presentation focuses on Dragon and Tiger and the Arrival of the Southern Barbarians, two screen compositions in the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the logic behind their selection for the Project.
The talk will be held in the Carnegie Museum of Art Theater and will be followed by refreshments and a networking reception. Registration is free but donations are appreciated. Virtual attendance is also available but those who are able are encouraged to attend in person.
Dr. Sinéad Vilbar is the Janice Hammond and Edward Hemmelgarn Curator of Japanese Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art. She holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University and a B.A. from Yale University. She was a Japan Foundation predoctoral fellow at Tōhoku University in Sendai, Japan. Her recent exhibitions with publications include Shinto: Discovery of the Divine in Japanese Art (2019), an international loan exhibition organized with the special cooperation of the Nara National Museum, and Reeds and Geese: Japanese Art from the Collection of George Gund III (2017), which celebrated the bequest to the CMA of Japanese medieval ink paintings and ceramics from George Gund III (1937–2013) and featured the painting Reeds and Geese, bearing an inscription by Chinese émigré monk Yishan Yining (1247–1317).

This year's event will be held at Edgewood Country Club, designed by Donald Ross. Ross's philosophy of golf architecture can best be described by a quotation he often used, "Golf should be a pleasure, not a penance." his interpretation of the word pleasure was very broad, implying not only a fair course which presents problems and challenges to all types of golfers, but also which is a natural as possible. Visit their website for a tour.
The golf tournament will begin at noon. Golfers compete for winning team trophies, individual skill prizes, and hole-in-one prizes. A post-golf cocktail hour will provide opportunities to meet the other guests and win raffle prizes, including a Grand Prize!
