Tom Mason-Mancuso at Center for Contemporary Art September 4th - October 25th
Posted 11/7/09

"On Earth as they are in Heaven" is a collection of works inspired by the traditional religious icons of Byzantium and Greece.

On arrival to Santa Fe 5 years ago, my dormant christianity mingled with the deep rooted christian traditions here to wake in me the discussion this work is about-the plausibility and credibility of orthodoxy. Teetering between parody and tribute, this exhibition is... [more]
