SUMMARY:Flying Flowers and Scattered Snow (飞花散雪): A Performance of Calligraphy by Wang Dongling
DESCRIPTION:Wang Dongling 王冬龄\, one of China’s most highly regarded contemporary ink painters\, will demonstrate his luan shu (“chaotic script”) calligraphy in a special event in the Calderwood Courtyard. In this energetic performance\, he will draw upon ancient texts and brush-painting traditions to create a large gestural work focused on the exalted West Lake poems of Su Dongpo (1037–1101). Located in Hangzhou\, West Lake has served as a source of inspiration for generations of poets\, scholars\, and artists\, including Wang. \n\n\n\nWang Dongling is professor of calligraphy and director of the Modern Calligraphy Research Center at the China Academy of Art\, Hangzhou. He has held three solo exhibitions at the National Art Museum of China\, and his work has been exhibited and acquired internationally. Like many artists of his generation\, Wang’s education was interrupted by the Cultural Revolution (1966–76)\, but working outside the constraints of conventional art schools granted him the freedom to explore novel techniques. He returned to his studies in the late 1970s\, incorporating foreign approaches into his work throughout the 1980s and 1990s. \n\n\n\nThe Harvard Art Museums offer free admission every day\, Tuesday through Sunday. Please see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museums. \n\n\n\nThis program is made possible in part through the support of Shining (Christina) Sun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Susan Greenhalgh - Soda Science: Making the World Safe for Coca-Cola
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Susan Greenhalgh\, John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Research Professor of Chinese Society Emerita\, Department of Anthropology\, Harvard UniversityModerator: Nicole West Bassoff\, PhD Candidate in Public Policy\, Harvard Kennedy School \n\n\n\nThe 1990s were tough times for the soda industry. In the United States\, obesity rates were exploding. Public health critics pointed to sugary soda as a main culprit and advocated for soda taxes that might decrease the consumption of sweetened beverages—and threaten the revenues of the giant soda companies. In her new book\, Soda Science\, Greenhalgh tells the story of how\, during 1995-2015\, industry leader Coca-Cola mobilized allies in academia to create a soda-defense science that would protect profits by advocating exercise\, not dietary restraint\, as the priority solution to obesity\, a view few experts accept. Anthropologist and science studies specialist Susan Greenhalgh discovers a hidden world of science-making—with distinctive organizations\, social networks\, knowledge-making practices\, and ethical claims—dedicated to creating industry-friendly science and keeping it under wraps. Coke’s research isn’t fake science\, she argues; it was real science\, conducted by real and eminent scientists\, but distorted by its aim. By tracing the birth\, maturation\, death\, and effects of this global science project as it spread in two sites – the U.S. and China – Soda Science reveals the cunning ways giant corporations come to shape our diets\, lifestyles\, and health to their own needs. \n\n\n\nNote: This is a science studies talk about Prof. Greenhalgh’s new book; a talk for China Studies scholars will be scheduled at a later date.Also via Zoom.
