Rose B. Simpson: Strata

This exhibition presents photographs of the US-Mexico borderlands from the 1970s to the present taken by both border residents and outsiders. They range in subject matter from intimate domestic portraits, narratives of migration, and proof of political demonstrations to images of border crossings and clashes between migrants and the US border patrol.

240A Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy

The Dancing Brush: Ming Dynasty Calligraphers and Eccentrics

Pulled from the CMA’s rich holdings of 18th-century European prints and drawings, this exhibition explores the complex relationship between imagination and the Enlightenment’s ideals of truth and knowledge. During this unprecedented time, artists used their imaginations in multifaceted ways to depict, understand, and critique the world around them.

101A–B Prints and Drawings

Imagination in the Age of Reason

Six paintings and 13 photographs illuminate contrasting approaches of depicting sacred Hindu sites. Indian artists, who created paintings for Indian viewers, emphasized the devotee’s intimate interaction with the divinity. Conspicuous are the offerings intended to please the living deity believed to reside in an object of worship, either in human or nonhuman form. 

242B Indian Painting

Temples and Worship in South Asia

Dragons, peonies, books, and scholarly accoutrements are among the most popular subjects that developed into decorative patterns in response to social and cultural changes during the 1700s and 1800s. By highlighting patterns and colors, this thematic presentation of painted screens and porcelain ware explores how Korean art vividly originated and offered powerful codes of communication.

236 Korean

Pattern and Decoration in Royal Art of the Joseon Dynasty

This installation considers the bond of calligraphy and clay through contemporary artworks set in the modern space of the museum gallery.

235A Japanese

Contemporary Calligraphy and Clay

The objects in the exhibition span from the 800s to the 1500s, drawn from several collections in the Cleveland Museum of Art, including medieval art, Chinese art, Indian and Southeast Asian art, art of the Americas, and prints and drawings, offering possibilities of forging connections across cultures and geographies.
