"Samsara by Los Angeles-based Kour Pour will include
new paintings and related installation works that continue the artist’s recent
carpet painting series. In the first iteration of the series, historic examples
of carpets were directly appropriated from auction and museum catalogues; in
the new works the artist has created original compositions that juxtapose sets
of imagery that are stripped from their own temporal context by the use of
today’s technologies —Google Images, clip art CD-ROMS Photoshop—and then
re-contextualized on canvas through months of painstaking labor—generating a
scenario that brings to mind a “networked bazaar of history and futurity.”

"Over the course of more than two millennia, Buddhism developed a canon
of sacred texts that is vast in scope, geographical origin, and
linguistic variety. The largest selection of these scriptures ever to
appear in English has just been published as part of the Norton Anthology of World Religions.
In this presentation, Jack Miles, editor-in-chief of the Norton
volumes, and Donald Lopez, editor of the Buddhism section, offer their
reflections on how and why Buddhism developed into a religion of global
scope and significance."
