Revelatory Tension: New Assertions on Divine Form
Guest curated by Kalia Brooks
November 5 – December 18, 2009
Opening reception Wednesday, November 4, 7 to 9 pm

Revelatory Tension: New Assertions on Divine Form is a proposition for a theological aesthetic in contemporary art. The exhibition highlights the work of six artists who work with a variety of media to abstract the ideology of devotion that often accompanies religious practice. Exhibiting artists — all based in Brooklyn — include Derrick Adams, Lindsay Benedict, Russell Frederick, Jason Irwin, Shane Aslan Selzer, and Jeff Sims. Their work is an exploration into the spatial, lingual, formal, and material qualities that signify a contemplation of the divine. Through their work, the gallery is emphasized as a site of creative reverence.
