[Forum] Eclipse Gallery Opening April 28, 6-8 PM

Bible Studies: An Interactive Installation

Bible Studies, showing at the Eclipse Gallery from April 28 through May 
21, invites members of local churches to become a part of the growing 
art movement in North Adams. The show attempts to bridge the chasm that 
currently exists between many religious communities in America and the 
art world.  Much contemporary art makes commentary on religion in 
America, and many religious communities in America have no participation 
in the visual art world, so a significant voice is absent from this 
discourse.

The exhibit explores new ways in which contemporary art can be created 
in a Christian context.  Using various methods of bible study, an 
activity prevalent in the Christian community, interactive pieces will 
be created that explore the relationship of the bible, various study 
guides, and individual reflection to examine how different denominations 
reach different interpretations of the same text and, through these 
interpretations, different understandings of God.  The theme of the show 
is “the separation of the goats from the sheep.”  It will explore such 
topics as the last judgment, the fruits of the spirit, the unforgivable 
sin, predestination, and sanctification.

Robert Cubie is a North Adams-based artist living in the Eclipse Mill, 
and a regular attendant of the first Methodist Church in Williamstown.  
Having been raised in an Evangelical environment, his art explores the 
richness of that tradition, and both its positive and negative 
manifestations.

Please join us for the opening reception April 28, from 6-8 PM.
