SUMMARY:San Francisco Lecture by Tom Hardwick: Uses\, Re-uses\, and Abuses of Egyptian Statues
DESCRIPTION:April 13\, 2024 at 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM \nUses\, Re-uses\, and Abuses of Egyptian Statues\nGunn Theater | Legion of Honor + Live Stream\nPresented by Tom Hardwick Consulting Curator of Egyptology\, Houston Museum of Natural Science \nAdmission:\nLecture is free and open to the public. It is also a hybrid program. \nIN PERSON: Gunn Theater\, 100 – 34th Avenue\, Lincoln Park\, San Francisco\, CA 94121. Seating is limited and unassigned. Doors open at 1:30 pm.\nLIVE STREAM: Please register here to receive a webinar link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lJ1-plmLQVi5pqRy16oceA . \nEgyptian statues epitomize solidity and permanence for the modern viewers who admire them securely guarded in museums or tourist sites. To their pharaonic makers and owners\, however\, they were functional objects with specific duties to fulfil. Rather than being blindly revered as artworks\, they were often re-used for new purposes when their old functions lapsed. These re-uses could include physical transformation. This lecture covers over three thousand years to show how subsequent generations have used and abused Egyptian artworks. \nCosponsored by the Ancient Art Council of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\nand the American Research Center in Egypt-Northern California.

SUMMARY:Corpse Wine: Dionysiac Imagery and the Fermentation of the Dead in Roman Sarcophagi
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Mont Allen\, Southern Illinois University \nWhy are roughly one-ninth of all surviving Roman sarcophagi shaped not like rectangular boxes with squared-off ends\, but instead like lenoi: those large tubs or vats with rounded ends in which Greeks and Romans pressed grapes and fermented the juice to make wine\, an association underscored by the Dionysiac imagery that often appears on the sides of these sarcophagi? What purpose did it serve within the funerary context? Or to put it most bluntly: Why did so many Romans want to imagine their dearly departed as resting within a wine vat?! \nI suggest that it explicitly invited viewers — bereaved family members — to reconceive the corpse’s decomposition and moldering within the vat-like casket in Dionysiac terms: as a process of fermentation like that which transformed grapes into wine. It offered mourners a comforting fantasy\, to reimagine the deceased’s putrefaction as instead a transubstantiation into a delicious elixir\, something elevated\, intoxicating\, and divine. Exploring a wide variety of evidence — art historical\, archaeological\, and taphonomic — this talk examines the plausibility of such an argument\, with special attention paid to the visual material and to what we can reconstruct about how Romans would have liquefied within their sarcophagi.
