Session Description

A brochure for the Space and Spirit exhibit in association with the 2005 Calvin Symposium on Worship.

What constitutes a sacred space or a sacred place? Furthermore, if by definition sacred space is where one meets God, then many other questions beg to be asked. Does God designate this place or do we? Do we set the criteria for sacred place or is it revealed to us? If God is everywhere, are all spaced sacred? How does one move into or experience sacred place?

This exhibition represents a range of responses to such questions by artists throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. It was designed in conjunction with the 2005 Calvin Symposium on Worship, in order to further the viewer's understanding of the relationship between sacred space and worship. Ultimately this body of work aims to foster an ongoing discussion of sacred spaces and places. We hope that the ideas, concepts, and dialogue that surface will promote additional artistic conversation and spiritual exploration.
