New Art Installation at the Temple!

The Chicago Temple Gallery Presents:

“A New Thing Re-Purposed: Objects of Veneration”

by Dave Kooi

We are so excited to have this new and exciting exhibit in our gallery. Our gallery is free and open to the public so why not make this a stop on your next trip to the city.

Artist Statement Excerpt: “The ‘sacred’ is that which deserves veneration because of rarity or because it is not readily accessible to the human senses. What is inside a reliquary or box is sacred or valuable, naturally, because it is covered by an outside, which conceals as well as protects…The outside, in this model, is only valuable for what it contains; the outside is hollow and only has meaning when it is ‘filled;’ the outside is form which is actualized by content.”

All Are Welcome!
