朱若麟博士將在本次講座中從技術和材料的角度探討東亞古典造像歷史。他的研究關注如木、麻、生漆等由植物而來的有機材料,及其在製作耐久結構和精細表面中的混合技術應用。朱博士將有機材料製作的造像與用石、金屬等無機材料製作的成果進行參照比對,進一步還原它們的歷史語境,從而理解古典造像材料的等級、價值和審美,還有促成這一結果的社會技術動力。

講座將以宋遼金時期佛教木心造像為主要案例,包括散落於中國的博物館、文化遺產現場,及西方收藏中的北方造像,以及遺世於日本的江南地域木雕。朱博士將解釋研究這一時期古典造像材料、激發和地理文化特徵的重要性、緊迫性和社會影響。

講座將以漢語普通話進行,由李棋主持。

Join us at Asia Society Hong Kong Center on Thursday May 25, 2023 for “Beyond the Wooden Heart: Plant-based Materials in East Asian Classical Sculptures”: a presentation by Dr Zhu Ruolin, moderated by Mr Li Qi.

In this special presentation, Dr Zhu Ruolin examines the history of East Asian classical sculptures from the perspective of technique and material. The study focuses on the organic materials sourced from plants, chiefly wood, hemp fibre, and resin, in reference to the technique of applying and mixing such materials in achieving enduring structure and meticulous finishing. Contextualising with carves and statues made in stone and metal, Dr Zhu will restore their historical context in order to understand the hierarchy, value, and aesthetics of materials in sculpture-making as a result of socio-technical dynamics. 

The lecture takes primary examples of twelve-to-thirteen-century wooden buddhist sculptures, originally from Northern China, dispersed among museums and heritage sites in China, and in Western collections, as well as Southern Chinese sculptures survived in Japan. Dr Zhu will explain the significance of studying the material, technique and geo-cultural features of classical sculptures from this unique historical period, its urgency and social impact.

The lecture will be made in Mandarin Chinese, moderated by Li Qi.
