The Ishtar Gate and Processional Way are not just highly-decorated forms of functional control, limiting the movement of people, animals, and goods into- and out of- Babylon. Rather, they are narratives that tell a story through their construction and imagery; that story is one of control. 2020-03-10T19:22:22Z Event https://isaw.nyu.edu/events/archive/2019/exhibition-gallery-talk-object-histories-14 Please Note: This event has been CANCELLED.

We will reconstruct the process of how the bricks were made and assembled. Close observation of the composition of the animals reveals that the craftspeople made deliberate choices about how to lay out these images across a grid of bricks. These choices were not based in a desire to streamline the working process or economize on labor and materials, but rather were motivated by a preference for symmetry and for minimizing the visual interference of the brick grid on the pictorial elements of the composition. We will end with a look at the monumental task of reconstructing the panels after the fragments arrived in Berlin. 2020-03-02T18:19:57Z Event https://isaw.nyu.edu/events/archive/2019/exhibition-gallery-talk-object-histories-5 Join us in the galleries for a 20-minute in-depth discussion of a single object from A Wonder to Behold: Craftsmanship and the Creation of Babylon’s Ishtar Gate.
