THE TIMES OF INDIA
"Art No.: 10262" by Sanjay Kumar | Mix Media on Archival Paper | Size: 41" x 59" |  
SINGAPORE---Silent Sermon, is artist Sanjay Kumar's solo exhibition where he puts forth life of Buddha as a concern to clarify the normative truths, creative potential, and liberating power of Buddhist modes of knowledge and practice as they meet new world views and cultures. Sanjay's visits to Bodhgaya and Buddhist studies came into being by distancing itself from all normative judgments of truth and value, by distancing itself from the theological concern behind all such questions. For example, in the early Buddhist art no Buddha image appears. But through different symbols the different stages of his evolution to Buddha-hood is denoted. [link]

The exhibition is curated by Mrs Kalpana Shah, Director Tao Art Gallery, Mumbai, produced and managed by Artiere. The catalogue essays written by Kalpana Shah and Abhijeet Gondkar. The exhibition Silent sermon of recent works by Sanjay Kumar will be at The Arts House, 1, Old Parliament Lane next to the Victoria Theatre, Singapore till Sunday, 10 March 2013.

Passing on Your Collection to Another Generation

By Ernest Disney-Britton Our living room in downtown Indianapolis This house (in Indiana) allowed us to explore everything, but today is moving day! It was a maximalist experience for two minimalists who love to collect. We sold off multiple collections, including snow globes, Mary sculptures, paperweights, Disney plates, nutcrackers, 21c penguins, walking canes, and 100 prints and paintings! Most of it was in storage, but plenty was on display. We did it by inviting our community of artists and collectors to an estate sale before opening it to the public. Congratulations to the new owners. We hope your collections continue to grow. Goodbye, Indiana!

THE GLEANER | JAMAICA, WI By Rev. Clinton Chisholm Naked Jesus credited by many to Michelangelo | Courtesy of Wikipedia WISCONSIN - Our Lord Jesus Christ was, in all likelihood, naked on the cross. Christian art and the Church will not face it readily, so you won't see crucifixion pictures of Jesus with exposed penis, though in all likelihood, following Roman custom, he would have been crucified naked.
