NOMA presents an artist talk with photographer Binh Danh (@binhtdanh) on Wednesday, June 14, 6 pm, in the Lapis Center for the Arts during the museum’s new Wednesday evening hours.
Early in his career, Danh pioneered a technique of printing images directly onto plant matter, activating the plants’ chlorophyll with sunlight. Using this process, Danh printed images associated with the war in Vietnam onto the leaves of tropical plants and grasses. Danh’s work is included in NOMA’s permanent collection and is currently on view in the exhibition "Photogenic: Photographs from the Collection of Cherye R. and James F. Pierce."
Following the talk, attendees are invited to join Danh in the @nomamuseumshop for a book signing of the artist’s first monograph, "Binh Danh: The Enigma of Belonging" (@radius.books, 2022). The museum will be open until 8 pm for program attendees to explore.
Free with museum admission. Every Wednesday, Louisiana residents receive free admission to NOMA courtesy of The Helis Foundation.

One of the most easily identifiable deities from the Indian subcontinent, Ganesha is worshipped by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains, although he is most often identified as the son of the Hindu gods Shiva and Parvati. His identity is proclaimed by his elephant head, stout figure and round belly. 🐘
This sculpture was created during the late 12th-13th century, when the Chola kings ruled a large part of south India, including Tamil Nadu, where this work was cast.
Chola bronzes are prized for their great attention to detail, particularly evident in the crown, jewelry and fine clothing that adorn the figure. Cast using the “lost wax,” or cire perdu, method, the wax model made for each statue is destroyed in the casting process, making each Chola bronze a unique work of art.
