Oxherding December 18, 2010

The product of a collaborative meditation by two internationally known artistic visionaries, Max Gimblett and Lewis Hyde, 'oxherding' is based on the Song-Dynasty Chinese 'Oxherding Series,' a Zen Buddhist parable of self-discovery comprised of pictures and verse. A contemporary American set of perspectives on this greatly venerated Buddhist text, the exhibition includes six collaborative artist books, a series of 10 sumi ink paintings by Max Gimblett, and 10 poems in Chinese and three English versions translated by Lewis Hyde.
