Sacred Space
SACRED SPACE, an exhibition of immense proportions, which revolved around the sub themes Reverence and In the Name of God, brought together the work of 34 recognized contemporary artists. The show was held at the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai in October 2004
The theme evolved out of the key idea of ‘reverence’, which holds great importance, particularly in present times of strife and restlessness. It highlighted several interpretations: man’s relationship with the unknown; his engagement with God and nature; the mystical power experienced in acts of revelation; awareness of the divinity within, and, in contrast, “In the Name of God” showcased the corrosion arising out of social distortions of the idea.
