Nomadic dresses (Mariana Frochtengarten, NSCAD University)
This exhibit is associated with the Thing Theory session. Mariana Frochtengarten uses dresses to explore the ways in which material culture configures particular systems of exchange and reciprocity within relationships and affections. Nomadic Dresses is a collaborative artwork which circulates garments among groups of artists from elevent different countries which are then worked upon and returned. The archive of correspondence between participants becomes part of the ongoing artwork and will be displayed alongside the dresses.

(Mandalika
Manjusri)
An exhibit
of sketches and paintings by Mandalika Manjusri in response to
her family's conservation work of 17th-18th century Buddhist temple and
cave murals in Sri Lanka.

Manjusri pioneered the recording and reproduction of Sri Lankan temple and cave paintings, dating from the 2nd to the 18th centuries CE. He was the country's leading expert on Buddhist iconography and the first internationally known modern Sinhalese artist. Mandalika apprenticed under her father, and carries on his tradition of scholarship, restoration, and creation of contemporary Buddhist art. Seven of her paintings are exhibited in Traces of the Buddha.
