Friends Lecture: A Conversation with Tim Yip
Join Liu Yang, Mia’s chair of Asian art and curator of Chinese art, and art director and film designer Tim Yip for a conversation moderated by Matthew Welch, Mia’s Mary Ingebrand-Pohlad Deputy Director and Chief Curator.
Bronze vessels held great ritual significance in ancient China. Used to make offerings to heavenly and ancestral spirits, these exquisite objects were also symbols of power. Mia’s Chinese art curator Liu Yang and world-renowned art director and film designer Tim Yip (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) will create an experiential exhibition that engages the senses. Featuring some 150 Chinese bronze objects from Mia’s collection, Eternal Offerings: Chinese Ritual Bronzes offers an immersive experience designed to evoke the mystery of heavenly and ancestral worship. Each gallery will embody a facet of the rituals enacted to honor the divinities, from the solemnity of the temple, to the intoxication of lavish banquets.
Eternal Offerings: Chinese Ritual Bronzes is on view at Mia March 4 – May 21st, 2023 in Target Gallery. Exhibition entry not included in talk reservation; purchase exhibition tickets here.
This talk is made possible with generous support from the Mark and Mary Goff Fiterman Fund. All ticket holders are invited to a complimentary reception hosted by the Friends of the Institute following the lecture; location to be announced.
