SUMMARY:Annual Kent dur Russell Lecture with Dr. Alice Isabella Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Spatial Icons: The Communion of the Apostles in Medieval Art and Ritual\nFree admission. Registration is required\, please kindly RSVP below by Friday\, June 12.  \nRegister\n  \nThe Communion of the Apostles – a theme common to Byzantine and Slavic icons\, manuscript decorations\, textiles\, liturgical objects\, and mural cycles – presents a liturgical interpretation of the Last Supper. This image type display symmetrical compositions that center on a single or double-figure of Christ at an altar\, officiating the Eucharistic bread and wine to the twelve apostles before him\, arranged in various configurations. These images thus show two diachronic events\, either chronologically or out of sequence but meant to be understood as unfolding in a temporal continuum. In examining the iconographic developments of The Communion of the Apostles theme in various media in the Byzantine and Slavic cultural spheres\, this lecture considers the temporal and mimetic effects\, as well as the functional fluidity of this image type in medieval art and ritual. \nAbout the Speaker:\nAlice Isabella Sullivan\, PhD\, is Assistant Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture at Tufts University. She specializes in the artistic production of Eastern Europe and the Byzantine-Slavic cultural spheres in the period between the 14th and 16th centuries. Sullivan is the author of the award-winning book The Eclectic Visual Culture of Medieval Moldavia (Brill\, 2023)\, Europe’s Eastern Christian Frontier (ARC\, 2024)\, and co-editor of several volumes. In addition\, she is co-director of the Sinai Digital Archive\, and co-founder of North of Byzantium and Mapping Eastern Europe – two initiatives that explore the history\, art\, and culture of the northern frontiers of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Europe during the medieval and early modern periods. \nRegister early\, space is limited! Please make sure to RSVP by Friday\, June 12. \nSpecial thanks to Edward Russell for his support of the Annual Kent dur Russell Lecture.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Contemporary Russian Literature Book Group
DESCRIPTION:New members are always welcome. You can join in person or via Zoom. \nThis month’s book is Secondhand Time: The Last Soviets by Svetlana Alexievich. \nIn Secondhand Time\, Alexievich chronicles the demise of communism. Everyday Russian citizens recount the past thirty years\, showing us what life was like during the fall of the Soviet Union and what it’s like to live in the new Russia left in its wake. Through interviews spanning 1991 to 2012\, Alexievich takes us behind the propaganda and contrived media accounts\, giving us a panoramic portrait of contemporary Russia and Russians who still carry memories of oppression\, terror\, famine\, massacres—but also of pride in their country\, hope for the future\, and a belief that everyone was working and fighting together to bring about a utopia. Here is an account of life in the aftermath of an idea so powerful it once dominated a third of the world. \nPlease contact a.farwell@iconmuseum.org if you would like to join. \n
