  • "Sacred Spain: Art and Belief in the Spanish World"  Indianapolis Museum of Art
    0:00 AM
    Image of
    A large portion of the dilemma facing the contemporary visual arts is that, too often, their conversation is limited -- art for artists’ sake. This makes Sacred Spain: Art and Belief in the Spanish World particularly provocative. Here is an exhibition of works produced primarily during the 17th century in Spain and the colonies of the New World that asks us to think beyond modern aesthetic or historical preconceptions about art is. That’s because these works were produced to be spiritual icons in a culture where religion was embedded in all aspects of the culture. These artists were not only creating images for the edification and meditation of a large, in some cases illiterate, public, they were creating works for a God they believed in or, at least, feared. As IMA curator Ronda Kasl points out in this thoughtfully assembled exhibit’s clearly written catalogue notes, these practitioners were dealing with one of art’s most primal challenges: To make the invisible visible. Imagine trying to find a visual language capable of making the Immaculate Conception appear credible. And one can only ponder what having an image of unspeakable suffering like the Crucifixion at its center has meant (or done) to what we call Western Civilization. But then reverence is not immune to goofiness. In “The Lactation of Saint Bernard,” the Virgin literally aims her breast for a squirt at the saint’s ever humble lips. The exhibit consists of over 70 works, including paintings, polychrome sculptures, metalwork and books. It’s admirably concise; a kind of flare illuminating, however briefly, a world where art didn’t just talk to itself, but sang a hymn to its culture’s senses. Sacred Spain is free of charge and on view through Jan. 3, 2010.-- David Hoppe

    "Indiana's unemployment rate has almost doubled in the last year, meaning 141,030 Hoosiers have lost their jobs. Many Hoosier families that had middle class incomes are now struggling to put food on the table." --from the Gleaners Food Bank newsletter. We have an opportunity to help our neighbors in need by packing boxes of donated food at the Gleaners Food Bank, 1102 East 16th St., Indianapolis, on Monday Nov 23, from 6pm to 8pm. We could probably go to dinner afterwards, if people are so inclined. I plan to be there around 5:45pm to meet everyone. If you arrive after 6pm, just ask for Claudia to join the "Indy Athiests" group. BTW this will be on Thanksgiving week, so our help will definitely be needed. Kids, coworkers, and friends are welcome too. If you have any questions beforehand, please email me through Meetup.com Hope to see you there! Mayme
