SUMMARY:Remaking the Ancient Vase
LOCATION:Bard Graduate Center
DESCRIPTION:Remaking the Ancient VaseA Conversation with Roberto Paolini (P
 ithos Ancient Reproductions)\, Delphine Tonglet (Metropolitan Museum of Ar
 t)\, and Caspar Meyer (BGC)Wednesday\, October 14\, 202638 West 86th Stree
 t\, Lecture Hallgallery@bgc.bard.edu$15 General | $12 Seniors | Free for p
 eople associated with a college or university\, people with museum ID\, pe
 ople with disabilities and caregivers\, and BGC membersNo late seating\; a
 dmittance is not guaranteed after 6 pm.Roberto Paolini\, a ceramic artist 
 from Cerveteri\, specializes in meticulously crafted reproductions of anci
 ent Greek and Etruscan painted pottery for museums\, collectors\, and the 
 tourist market. In conversation with Delphine Tonglet\, assistant curator 
 in the Department of Greek and Roman Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
 \, and Caspar Meyer\, professor at Bard Graduate Center\, Paolini will dis
 cuss the materials\, techniques\, and embodied knowledge involved in his p
 ractice. Their conversation will explore how remaking ancient objects can 
 illuminate the creative choices and social worlds of ancient craftspeople 
 as much as it raises contemporary questions about authenticity\, collectin
 g\, cultural heritage\, and the role of reproductions in museums.Roberto P
 aolini creates work under the name Pithos. At the age of twelve\, he began
  frequenting the workshop of an elderly craftsman who had specialized for 
 years in the creation of ancient ceramics. With great tenacity and enthusi
 asm\, he has spent years experimenting and studying the methods that ancie
 nt Etruscan and Greek artisans used to create their works. He has engaged 
 in various collaborations with Italian and international museums and unive
 rsities in the field of experimental archaeology. He has made reproduction
 s for the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia\, the National Archeolo
 gical Museum of Ferrara\, and many others for exhibition and educational p
 urposes. In 2023 Paolini collaborated with the Metropolitan Museum of Art 
 in New York to craft a replica of the famous Euphronios krater\, which is 
 housed there today.Delphine Tonglet is a Belgian art historian and archaeo
 logist who specializes in the study of ancient Greece and Etruria. She rec
 eived her MA (2009) and PhD (2014) degrees from the Université libre de B
 ruxelles and has developed an international career through her participati
 on to archaeological excavations―mostly at Itanos in Crete and in Tuscan
 y and Lazio in Italy―and thanks to numerous research stays and scholarsh
 ips at the University of Pisa\, the Academia Belgica in Rome\, the Univers
 ity of Bologna\, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (Andrew W.
  Mellon Senior Fellowship\, 2015–16). Her favorite research themes deal 
 with intercultural exchanges between Etruria\, the Greeks\, and other Medi
 terranean actors\, through the study of material culture.Caspar Meyer is P
 rofessor of Classical Archaeology and Material Culture at the Bard Graduat
 e Center in New York. His research focuses on the cultural dynamics of cra
 ft production in the Greek city states of the Aegean and among the mobile 
 pastoralists of Eurasia. Another area of his interest is the history of th
 e instruments and media which archaeologists have developed to aid the tra
 nsformation of artifacts into written explanations. He previously taught a
 t Birkbeck College\, University of London\, and held research fellowships 
 at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles and the Centre Louis Gernet
  in Paris. He is the editor of West 86th: A Journal of Decorative Arts\, D
 esign History\, and Material Culture.Image: Roberto Paolini Riproduzioni.
