Exhibit: Buddhist art from the land of white clouds
December 5, 2012 – May 26, 2013 every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday | 11 a.m.-5 p.m. | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive

The journey of "Himalayan Pilgrimage" continues with "Liberation Through Sight," a reinstallation that focuses on artworks created as vehicles to enlightenment.

Vajrayana, the esoteric form of Buddhism that prevails in Tibet and the Himalayas, employs myriad icons of deities to reveal the true nature of the Buddha’s teachings. The making of these icons is in itself a devotional act, bringing merit to the artist as well as to the devotee who engages in the practice of visualization through the image.

From visits by three prominent Chinese or Taiwanese artists, to a new opera based on the children's novel The Secret Garden, to understanding the family dog, UC Berkeley's spring calendar boasts events that will engage, entertain and explain. A proposal on how to feed the world's soon-to-be 9 billion mouths and a series on re-imagining our relationship to technology offer predictions and prescriptions for the future.
