New V&A exhibition explores modern spirit of traditional Chinese crafts

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has opened 'Dimensions: Contemporary Chinese Studio Crafts,' a landmark exhibition in its China Gallery that pairs nearly 50 newly acquired contemporary works with historic artifacts from the Ming and Tang dynasties. Curated by Li Xiaoxin, the show features artists including Lin Fanglu, Zhao Jinya, and Eliza Au, who transform traditional crafts such as tie-dye, glassmaking, and ceramics into contemporary art forms. The exhibition, which opened on October 28, is the first major V&A show dedicated solely to contemporary Chinese studio crafts, the result of a five-year research journey by Li to address the museum's lack of modern Chinese representation.

This Week in History: 50 years back at the Art Museum: Pamela Smith’s occult art unveiled

A 1975 exhibition at the old Princeton University Art Museum, titled “To All Believers: The Art of Pamela Smith,” brought British occult artist Pamela Colman Smith out of obscurity. Smith, best known for illustrating the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck in 1909, had largely disappeared from public view after 1920 and died in 1951. The show was curated by Melinda Boyd Parsons, a student of art historian William Innes Homer, and brought to Princeton by museum director Peter Bunnell. The exhibition was covered by student journalist Laurie Kahn, who noted its significance as both occult art and work by a female artist.

‘A static collection is a dead collection’: how the British Museum is acquiring for a global public

The British Museum has received a record-breaking donation of Chinese ceramics valued at nearly £1 billion from the Sir Percival David Foundation, including the famous David vases from 1351 and a 1,000-year-old Ru ware bowl stand.

The article details the museum's acquisition process, which prioritizes objects that tell stories about everyday life and ephemeral culture, while adhering to strict ethical and practical considerations due to the British Museum Act 1963's stringent deaccession rules.
