In a time when collective participation in the institutions of religion and government is waning, people are seeking tangible ways to understand the larger picture, and to feel empowered in its unfolding. Art remains as one realm capable not only of holding the full range of human experience but also of facilitating the free expression of that range. Through making and observing art, we can begin to make sense of our rapidly evolving, media-centric culture. Art allows us to learn from the past while being grounded in the present, building towards a sustainable future. Art chronicles our times, and in so doing, shapes them.
HoloCosmos was selected to create poster designs for the event. We used the "Dromenon" labyrinth element from the floor of Grace Cathedral and Chartres in France, as a unifying symbolic element.
The Art Chronicles is an experiential forum for the creation and exploration of culture within the breathtaking yet accessible sacred space of Grace Cathedral, which openly considers itself a place of worship for all people. The Bay Area comes together and participates in an activated exchange of ideas, art, music, and community, involving everyone present in the dynamic process of co-creating culture.
