Time:3-5 p.m.
Description:"Research, Reconstruction, and Breaking Boundaries in the Xiangtangshan Caves Project" is a lecture by Dr. Katherine R. Tsiang, Department of Art History, University of Chicago. The lecture is preceded by a reception and digital demonstration at 2 p.m. in the Art History Conference Room (Doty Fine Arts Building 2.506).

"The Xiangtangshan Caves Project: Reconstruction and Recontextualization" began in 2004 with two major components - new digital imaging systems and contextual research. The reconstruction was necessary, because all of these sixth-century Buddhist cave temples in northern China had suffered severe damage in the early 20th century before the earliest known photographs were taken of the sites. Through a combination of visual analysis and imaging technology, a contextual reconstruction can now be proposed. This talk presents analysis of the multiple aspects of reconstruction.
