EXPERIENCE
PARTICIPATION
CONNECTION
COMMUNITY
IN
ART
&
CHRISTIAN WORSHIP

Last year I discovered a great environmental artist Olafur Eliasson, through the wisdom and help of friend Matt Prinz. Eliasson does these great pieces of art - not pieces that you observe, but installations that you experience, connect with and through, and participate in. I wrote a blog entry last year about his environmental approach to art and some post-modern or epic approaches to Christian worship as an experiential, participatory and connectional event in our lives - my musings and reflection. You can read it HERE. (If you came to the EPIC/Post-Modern Worship Workshop led by Steve Whitney and I in Nashville definitely check out the past blog entry).

In any case Eliasson has created an intentional and original display here at the SF MOMA! It's opened and will be here through February. Go and see it. Then call/email/facebook/or blog me about it if you want to talk about it!

Check out his website HERE.
