Krasis

8 paradigm-shifting, perception-altering weeks of interdisciplinary, collections-centred, EC research-led teaching. And tea.

Short 🧵 from #Krasis 20, week 3, led by @Ninya_vey

[Krasis @AshmoleanKrasis]

Krasis(h), Krasish, Krasesque, whatever it is we are doing we are doing it now, led by Eugenia Vorobeva of @engfac
We have Reginald Marsh and Glenn Coleman from @TerraAmArt and we have Lucas Cranach from @AshmoleanMuseum and we are thinking about crowds.

[Krasis @AshmoleanKrasis]

4/ We closed by performing as ‘crowd’ and reflecting on the experience: in the galleries, completing the circle around the dead Christ in Van Dyck’s Deposition; then in a collective reading of the Passion narrative from Mark 15.
It was a moving session; many thanks to @ninya_vey

3/ In Cranach’s Martyrdoms we see that incipient violence actualised, watching each Apostle’s end as one half of an encircling crowd.

Short 🧵 from yesterday in #Krasis

Today at #Krasis…
Art historian and curator Minji Chun led a conversation about translation (between media, ideas, languages), interpretation (of environments, bodies, things) and representation (of the world, people, places).

[Krasis @AshmoleanKrasis]

3/ From the @TerraAmArt Collection-in-Residence loan, Minji chose Crawford, Avery and Archipenko, and we explored the translational role of the curator, imagining the prints alongside sculptures and paintings by Hepworth, Bomberg, Braque, Bacon & Morandi.
Tremendous.
Thanks.

2/ We visited the Kabuki Legends show of kappazuri prints by Hiromitsu Takahashi, and the Flemish Drawings show to examine the inter- and trans-medial relationships between print, drawing, sculpture, painting, theatre and nature.

We’re off.
Again.
It is exciting.
DPhil researcher Connie Sjodin leads us in thinking about tattooing and all its surrounding discourses of race, class, history, colonialism…
We start with Pio Abad in conversation with Anthony Gardner of @TheRuskin

After a long hiatus, something resembling something not unlike something reminiscent of Krasis will be back at @AshmoleanMuseum in Trinity.
Wednesday afternoons 2-5pm.

DM here or email us for details, or if you’re interested in joining the conversation.

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed the absence of Krasis live-tweeting on Wednesday afternoons this term.
The programme was suspended this Autumn but we hope to be back in 2024 in some form or other.

Watch this space!

In the meantime, here’s a picture of Leia the puppy.

11/ It has been a wonderful term.
A huge thank you to every #AJTF Teaching Fellow and every #KrasisScholar for making it so.

If you want to be part of #Krasis and haven’t applied yet for Michaelmas, you still can.

Closes 5pm, 8/9/23

[Krasis @AshmoleanKrasis]

It’s #Krasis17 Week 8!
Dr @tersi_core14 is in charge and we are thinking about the ruptures of translation:
transmediality and translating the untranslatable.
We have Dante, Blake, hell and heaven to consider.
And dance.

[Krasis @AshmoleanKrasis]

10/ And so we end, on the thought that every #Krasis conversation is a wilful act of multiple translations as we listen, speak and interpret from discipline to discipline, respecting expertise generously offered, choosing to try to understand.
