I just heard about an exhibit down at the Tacoma Art Museum: "Illuminating the Word: The Saint John's Bible".I don't know if you have heard about this project, but it is the first handwritten and illuminated manuscript to be commissioned and completed in 500 years. An ecumenical and multi-faith panel of theologians were consulted as they interpreted Scripture through visual image.
In addition, there is Janet Cardiff's installation piece based on Thomas Tallis' motet, Spem in Alium. A great example of capaciousness in musical space!!
So, a two-for-one experience in theological art. How can you resist?
Both exhibits are there until Sept. 7, 2008.
Peace,
Chelle
