DESCRIPTION:Landscape painting is generally considered an invention of Eur
 opean art. It is largely unknown\, however\, that landscape and natural sp
 ace were also common in the painting schools of Asia as an independent sub
 ject or at least as a formulaic reference to a specific place.\n\nThe lect
 ure "Indian World Views - Nature\, Environment and Landscape in Jainist Mi
 niature Painting" by Dr. Patrick Felix Krüger follows on from the exhibit
 ion "World Views" by contrasting the Western perspective shown there with 
 an Indian\, or more precisely a Jainist view of nature and landscape.\n\nO
 n the basis of exhibits of the exhibition "Jain sein. Art and Life of an I
 ndian Religion" (https://rietberg.ch/ausstellungen/jain_sein)\, a cooperat
 ion project with the Center for Religious Studies\, the function of nature
  and landscape in the Jainist painting traditions will be explained in a g
 enerally understandable way and the symbolism of landscape and natural ele
 ments will be discussed.\n\nThe lecture will start at 12.00 p.m. in the li
 brary of Situation Kunst\, Nevelstraße 29d\, 44795 Bochum in Schlosspark 
 Weitmar.  \n\nFollowing the approximately 1-hour lecture\, Dr. Patrick Kr
 üger will offer a tour of the "World Views". He will take a closer look a
 t Asian landscape painting in the field of tension between religion and ar
 t and discuss questions of the influence and relevance of religious world 
 views on landscape representations.  \n\n\nIllustration: Jainist communit
