“Biophilia: In Excelsis Art Exhibit” (Institute of Sacred Music)

Biophilia: In Excelsis is an art exhibition that focuses on the theme of sacred ecosystems, including oceans and forests, and their imminent transformation due to increased global warming. It brings together twenty-two artists who represent different cultural backgrounds, generations, and geographic locations, and who explore the concept of Biophilia, the love of life. It will be on view at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music’s Miller Hall at 406 Prospect Street, New Haven from March 27-May 3 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12-4 p.m.

 

 

Mark your calendars for an opening reception at 5:30 p.m. on March 27 in Miller Hall with the following panelists:

 

Dr. Gavin Schmidt, Director, NASA, Goddard Institute for Space Studies

Artists:  Krisanne Baker, Susan Hoffman Fishman, and Eleanor Goldstein

Moderator: M. Annenberg

“The artists in Biophilia: In Excelsis dwell in the sacred apprehension of the divine in the life forms that draw us to them. We are in relationship with the spiritual presence that transcends the objects and beings that surround us—the life forms of trees, water, sky, and of the myriad creatures of the forests and the fields. As Thomas Berry wrote, “that numinous presence whence all things come into being.’”— M. Annenberg
