"This book gathers a collection of studies by leading scholars on the Tomb of the Priests of Amun (Bab el-Gasus), where the burials of 153 individuals who lived under the 21st Dynasty have been unearthed, revealing the largest undisturbed tomb ever found in Egypt. This is the first publication to present a coherent vision of this find, with papers addressing a variety of topics including: the reorganization of the Theban necropolis under the 21st Dynasty; the sociological significance of the burials, as well as the funerary goods associated with them; the history of the collections that had been given away to foreign countries in 1893, including their reception and subsequent treatment in museums around the world and in Egypt; carpentry and decoration of anthropoid coffins, using non-invasive analysis of materials; and finally, diversity and meaning of coffin decoration. The volume releases the papers first presented at the international conference held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of the discovery of the Tomb." — Bab El-Gasus in Context: Rediscovering the Tomb of the Priests of Amun

The famous French Art Nouveau artist René Lalique (1860-1945) before dedicating his artistic life to glasswork, had a prolific and intense period of fine jewellery making up until c. 1912. Lalique followed certain aesthetic canons of this new artistic movement, namely the naturalistic motifs of fauna and flora and a rather astute inspiration from the feminine figure. Lalique's use of gem materials, that will be the topic of my presentation at the Jewellery Valuers Association Conference in Loughborough, UK (9-11 September) is unique, having been a master of enamelling, superlative craftsman with ivory and horn, and a wide variety of coloured gemstones including sapphire, precious opal, tourmaline, amethyst, adularia (moonstone) and natural pearls, just to name a few, and experimented in then-new manufactured plastics. As a Portuguese, I guess I am allowed to be biased here and say that the best collection of Lalique jewellery in public display is at the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, in Lisboa, being an expression of the friendship and intellectual respect between the French artist and the Armenian-origin art collector Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian (1869-1955).

(Re)Connecting with Western Armenia: A Symposium in Honor of Armen Aroyan

LOS ANGELES — The USC Dornsife Institute of Armenian Studies is excited to co-sponsor a hybrid symposium organized by the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Series on Contemporary Armenian Issues in honor of Armen Aroyan. Between 1987 and 2017, Armen Aroyan led over 1,400 Armenian Americans to historic Western Armenia, allowing them to (re)discover the cities, towns, and villages from which their ancestors originated. Among the travelers were many scholars whose experiences gave them first-hand information for their research and academic work. Aroyan meticulously recorded every group trip on videotape. In 2018, Armen…

Can art help tackle climate change?

In a world struggling with the complex challenges of climate change, the concept of transdisciplinarity has gained attention, smashing the barriers between art and science to promote innovation and holistic understanding. The interplay of art and science becomes a powerful tool for untangling the complexities of climate-related issues. Foundations such as the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, which can be visited in my country's capital - Lisbon, Portugal - focus their work on "promoting the development of people and organisations, through art, science, education and charity, for a more equitable and sustainable society".

Artists bring a unique perspective to the scientific discussion on climate change. Without the restrictions of traditional scientific communication, they transform complex climate data into visual narratives that speak directly to the public's emotions and conscience. Learn more about it in this TEDx Talk by Thijs Biersteker.

Transdisciplinarity becomes a catalyst for deep insights and emotional responses. Breaking away from specialisation, this fusion of art and science serves as a link, promoting a deeper understanding of climate-related complexities and inspiring collective action. It reinforces the idea that interplaying between seemingly disparate fields can lead to a more comprehensive and impactful response to the urgent global issue of climate change.

While artist-in-residence on the Galápagos Islands, Coates approached the family-run local television station, Channel 9 TV Galápagos. He offered to make a short news report for them as an outsider. His report was broadcast as a news item, appearing between coverage of a beauty contest and the football results. Dressed in his hand-made cardboard costume, Coates reports on the human society (population approx. 30,000) from the perspective of a blue-footed booby, an iconic bird of the Galápagos. Coates had asked research scientists working on the island what they would report about the human situation if they were a visiting bird. Much of the report is informed by their responses.

Lisbon, Portugal — July 2023. Sadly our trip with Lauren has come to an end and we had to say our fair-wells at the Lisbon airport this morning. It was so wonderful spending time with her this week. Spent most of the day at the spectacular Calouste Gulbenkian Museum which Chris found. It’s one of the best personal art collections in the world with over 6,000 pieces covering masters of painting, sculpture, furniture, ceramics, tapestries and priceless antiquities, coins and jewelery. At one point Calouste was the richest man in the world and his collection reflects it. He formed a foundation and bequest it all to the nation. Wandered a new area of the city to take in some massive graffiti spanning across three historic buildings on the way home and a fine port collection.
