Body Psalms: The Future Body, A multi-media art performance

Based on a series of award-winning short films, this performance explores the devaluation of the body in contemporary culture with a unique presentation of "sculptural poetry". This performance, involving 6 films, dance, comedy, a performing sculpture, chorus and other live events, compels viewers to see their own bodies in a new way.  Featured will be the world premier of the latest film in the series, entitled "Mirabai's Mountain", about an Indian mystic who sacrifices herself to her god.  This is the culmination of the 12-year Body Psalms project.

Artist:     Tim Holmes is the first American artist ever honored with a solo exhibition in the Hermitage museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where three of his works remain in the permanent collection. He is recognized for many international human rights projects and peace awards such as the U.N. Peace Prize for Women. Archbishop Tutu, President Jimmy Carter, President Vaclav Havel, and Coretta Scott King are among his notable collectors. Holmes has lectured and taught workshops around the country and in Europe. He believes that art is the medicine that will heal the world. 
This event was made possible by a Myrna Loy Center for the Artist's grant.  More info about the performance.
