Critical Encounters: Fact & Faith
In this exhibition, nine students from Columbia’s Interdisciplinary Arts course "Art As Spiritual Practice" share their final projects with the public. Each artist has created an individual artistic response to a semester-long, collective inquiry that, through the framework of studio practices as well as theoretical a...nd historical inquiry, explores the spiritual dimensions involved when modeling the world through various art practices and forms. With the encouragement of instructor Doug Stapleton, these artists have been guided into a deeper articulation of how their work stands in authentic relationship to a spiritual practice as a reflection of core values and beliefs.
Participating Artists:
Heather L.G. Bella, Hale Ekinci, Kristina Gosh, Laurie LeBreton, Colleen McGann, Raul Sanchez, Tamale Sepp, Kevin Valentine, Kelsey Wright.

Critical Encounters: Fact & Faith
The soul has traditionally served as a focal point for many religions. It provides a core notion of self-identity and personality, it is often characterized as a “spark of the divine” inside human beings, and it may go on in some form after death. Science has found little evidence for the existence of the soul, but tha...t hasn’t diminished belief in the wider culture. This panel will discuss the traditional theories about the soul (e.g., is it a “ghost in the machine”? or, is it a mere function of brain physiology? Or, is it a fiction?). East and West perspectives will be discussed. And then an integrated, non-combative, science and religion approach to the soul will be considered.
Panelists: Dr. Stephen T. Asma, Dr. Rami Gabriel, & Dr. Tom Greif. Featuring live soul music by Michele Thomas.
