SIX HOURS EXHIBITION (2016)
/In Jesus’ final moments on the cross, he uttered 7 sayings:
- "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Luke 23:34
- "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Luke 23:43
- "Woman, this is your son." Then he said to the disciple: "This is your mother.” John 19:26-27
- "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34
- "I thirst.” John 19:28
- "It is finished" John 19:29-30
- "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Luke 23:46
This exhibition considered Jesus' final moments, those six hours he spent hanging on the cross. The artist was invited to consider - what did Jesus experience? What sorts of emotions and thoughts might these final seven sayings have produced in him? Surely, these six hours were filled with the full spectrum of passion, a broad range of emotions. The artist was invited to illuminate Jesus' experience, deepen our consideration of these sayings, slow us down to contemplate these glorious and horrific hours of time.
Submission Deadline: Sunday, March 13
Exhibition: Palm Sunday (March 20th) through Easter Sunday (March 31st)
