Reprise of the visual preludesAugust
4th - August 7th
One
of the challenges facing the 74th General Convention of the Episcopal
Church is how to create a worshipful setting in a convention hall that
measures 300x350 ft. The scale is enormous, and conventional decor treatments
run into enormous expense. The Episcopal Church and the Visual Arts
has addressed this issue with a creative solution that will be different
every morning of Convention.
Each
day's worship will begin with a visual meditation based on the themes
of Convention and daily lectionary. These preludes consist of original
work from contemporary artists across the church. They will be projected
as digital images on a screen behind the altar before worship to the
accompaniment of live music. Both the music and the art express the
richness of artistic diversity in the church.
Mel
Ahlborn and Eliza Linley of ECVA's Advisory Board selected from among
hundreds works by over 150 artists. Most of the work has been submitted
specifically for Convention, but the presentations will also draw on
work from the shows ECVA has mounted online over the last two years.
Art to be shown at Convention ranges from figurative to abstract, and
includes sculpture, painting, photography, manuscript illumination,
iconography, collage, fabric and digital art.
