Japan Through Our Eyes
Dates and Times: Dec. 1, 2009-Jan. 8, 2010; 9:00am-5:00pm
Place: JICC Gallery
Since its inception in 1987, the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program has received both domestic and international acclaim for its role in advancing mutual understanding between Japan and other nations. As one of the world's largest exchange programs, JET promotes grass-roots international exchange by giving participants the opportunity to serve in local government offices as well as public and private schools across Japan, where they develop strong relationships with their local communities.
The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm.
The exhibit will be closed Dec. 25, 29-31, 2009 and Jan. 1, 2010

In Pursuit of Universalism with Prof. Alicia Volk
Date and Time: Wed. Dec. 9; 6:30pm
Place: JICC Auditorium
To celebrate the release of In Pursuit of Universalism, the first comprehensive, English-language study of modern art in early 20th century Japan, the JICC is pleased to welcome author Alicia Volk, Assistant Professor of Japanese Art History at the University of Maryland. As the inaugural recipient of the Phillips Book Prize (awarded by the Phillips Collection Center for the Study of Modern Art), Dr. Volk will discuss her theory of artistic modernism in Japan between 1900 and 1930, exploring the work of Yorozu Tetsugoro, which she sees as a polemic response to Japan's encounter with European art. Reservations required. Only two (2) spaces can be reserved at a time. If you wish to reserve more spaces, please send additional email requests. Please RSVP to jiccrsvp@embjapan.org.
