TENNESSEE---Vanderbilt University’s Religion in the Arts and Contemporary Culture Program will host an art exhibition titled "god: HEAD" from Feb. 21 to April 26 at the Divinity School. The exhibition will focus on how artists are able to capture human qualities beyond the physical when they draw, paint or sculpt the human face, according to Dave Perkins, associate director of Religion in the Arts and Contemporary Culture, a program housed in Vanderbilt Divinity School. The exhibit will raise also the question of whether the viewer plays a larger role in adding spiritual qualities to the artist’s work. Featured artists include Jimmy Abegg, Kit Reuther, Buddy Jackson, Samuel Dunson, Todd Greene, Thaxton Waters, Shane Dowling, Jonathan Richter, Jeff Bertrand, DL Taylor, Jason Lott and Timothy Tyler.
