What is the sacred’s hue, texture, form? How is it perceived and expressed through art? A wonderfully alive quality of the sacred is that it refuses tethers—a quality shared by great art. In this group exhibition, the art works hold the potential to tell us something about where the sacred might be found, whether this is outside ourselves or within.
Quelle est la teinte, la texture, la forme du sacré? Comment est-il perçu et exprimé à travers l’art? L’une des qualités les plus saisissantes du sacré est qu’il refuse toute contrainte – tout comme le grand art. Dans cette exposition collective, les œuvres d’art ont le pouvoir de nous révéler où se trouve le sacré, que ce soit à l’extérieur ou à l’intérieur de nous-mêmes.
