The transitional states between death and either the attainment of spiritual enlightenment or the return to the cycle of rebirth are explored in Bardo: The Tibetan Art of the Afterlife. For centuries, Tantric Buddhism has used tools that aid in the preparation for hallucinatory visions that appear in the afterlife. Only by recognizing these visions as illusory can buddhahood be attained.

Tibetans know Mount Everest as Chomolungma, "Mother Goddess of the Earth," the place where the land touches the heavens. In her shadow lies the rugged expanse of the Rongbuk Valley where photographer Tom Wool spent four weeks capturing images in 2001. His sensitive photographs of religious and village life provide a glimpse into this remote land.
Rubin Museum of Art:
Remember That You Will Die: Death Across Cultures explores the concepts of death and the afterlife in the European and Himalayan traditions from about the fourteenth century to the present. Societies rooted in these cultures have developed complex notions of death, often with startling visual counterparts.

The Joan Mitchell Foundation 2009 MFA Grant Recipients Show
Rubin Museum of Art:
Tradition Transformed: Tibetan Artists Respond marks the first exhibition of contemporary Tibetan art in a New York City museum. The nine Tibetan artists featured each explore contemporary issues--personal, political, and cultural--by integrating the centuries-old traditional imagery, techniques, and materials found in Tibetan Buddhist art with modern influences and media.
Curated by Miriam Katz
This group exhibition features New York-based artists who make work with, for, and about strangers. For each video, photograph, installation, and performance, artists cast out lines to remote neighbors who (wittingly or not) become active partners in creating the work. The resulting projects realign and sometimes undermine extant social relations and artistic intentions, engaging and confounding issues of authorship, exchange, generosity, and chance. Interactions both off site and within the gallery will continuously shape the exhibition’s content over the course of the show.
The artists in the exhibition include: Einat Amir, Daniel Bozhkov, Xavier Cha, Eteam, Hope Hilton, Nancy Hwang, and Dave McKenzie.
June 25 – August 7
FREE
Opening Reception: Friday, June 25, 6-8pm
