The new Oakland Cathedral is refreshingly free of the usual blood-soaked Catholic paraphernalia, but then the window appropriates an apocalyptic 12th Century interpretation of Christ's Second Coming, literally from The Dark Ages. Were there no 21st Century artists with a vision beyond this "Beam me up, Popey"?Paul Crabtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288463082920693971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314334776379149827.post-15530975092964649982009-11-16T15:54:34.274-08:002009-11-16T15:54:34.274-08:00I love this post, Kenny.

I have always been fascinated by the role of bricks and mortar in taking you somewhere spiritual, immaterial -- this almost paradox that lies at the heart of religious architecture. But like you, I've had near 'religious' experiences in non-temples and non-churches. These come to mind: The Musee d'Orsay, Luis Barragan's house in Mexico City (practically a church) and a Janet Cardiff installation, 40-Part Motet, at PS1 in Queens. For me, it's all about light and sound (which I guess is just another way of saying, it's all about the architecture!)Julie Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09602595777279229284noreply@blogger.com
