Seminar "New Perspectives on the Presentation of Japanese Art II" am Leiden's Museum De Lakenhal

"The Heinz Kaempfer Fund (HKF) and the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) are proud to present the second in a biennial series of seminars on Japanese art. With the New Perspectives series, we aim to demonstrate that the study of Japanese art is very much alive and part of a global discussion. We especially invite students and young scholars to participate in this event!


Art is about expression and communication, and museums and exhibition venues are channels for communication. The IIAS/HKF seminar thus focuses on objects, contexts, and processes, as well as on presentation. The immense changes currently taking place in the attitudes and outlooks of scholars, curators, critics, policymakers, and those involved in the art market, reverberate within the study of Japanese art and have repercussions for the way in which Japanese art is displayed. The New Perspectives series shows that new narratives and challenges abound."
