What does it mean to be a candle? It means challenging the darkness even though you know you will die!

Stand in the Form of a Crouching Lion

China, Western Jin dynasty, (265–316), late 3rd century

This crouching leonine animal may be a fanciful depiction of a lion—an animal not indigenous to China but initially introduced under the patronage of Buddhism, where it appeared as an emblem for the historical Buddha and as guardian of the faith. This small but imaginative form, carefully modeled with long beard and curled mane, likely served as a candlestand.

I made a candle stand for myself and thought to share it here :>

In Baseera Khan’s Law of Antiquities series, on view in I Am an Archive, the artist’s hands often approach and mimic the positioning of the museum conservator’s hands. While this safeguards the fragile surfaces of these historic collection objects, it also alludes to the way that museum procedures disallow touch and proximity in objects that were very much used and functional, such as the 13th-cenury candle stand (from present-day Iran or Central Asia) and late 19th-century earrings and headdress (from Tafraout, Morocco) pictured here. 

Khan designed a set of nitrile gloves, used to protect art objects, for the Law of Antiquities photoshoot. The bespoke gloves layer varied colors, and include collaged black-and-white images of a textile in the collection that was too fragile to be included in the shoot. As Brooklyn Museum conservator Victoria Schussler handled the objects, she wore Khan’s creations.
