Explores the concept of art and the sacred across different cultures Nothing too beautiful for the gods brings together religious artifacts, contemporary art that references religion, and works by artists who are invested in religious traditions Artists featured in the book include Didi, Shiraga, Ramoun, Sooja Kim, El Anatsui, Vasquez de la Horra, Bedia, Boltanski, and ViolaGlobalization has forced us to stop thinking that art only exists in the West. The very notion of art was invented by the West and refers to the learned version of its material culture. It was then projected onto other civilizations, particularly Asian ones, and finally onto the preliterate societies of Africa and Oceania. Whether or not these cultures possess the concept of art is of little importance, because when they honor their gods, they inevitably address what they consider to be the acme of beauty. For a long time, this openness to other aesthetics was based on the arts of the past, until it was finally accepted that there were living creators in these distant lands, and that todays means of communication have brought them closer to us. These others who appeared in the 1980s are by no means a homogenous group. Without stretching this analysis too far, they can be regarded as falling into two categories: those who have opted for modernity and submit to the demands of the market and Western based institutions, and those who concentrate on giving visual expression to their communities and beliefs, ignoring the demands of the art market. Australian Aboriginal art represents an intermediate situation, since alongside art of a sacred nature, there are works deliberately produced for sale, initially encouraged by missionaries. Nothing too beautiful for the gods aims to show the variety of works connected with the spiritual impulse, from those used in religious rites to contemporary artworks that refer to them. These hybrid works are often the result of accommodations with modernity. The exhibition and accompanying book bring together altars from Africa, the Caribbean and Asia, works by artists invested with religious responsibilities (Didi, Shiraga), works by religious artists (Ramoun) and others by artists who refer explicitly to religions and spirituality (Sooja Kim, El Anatsui, Vasquez de la Horra, Bedia, Boltanski, Viola). Text in English and French. This book argues that globalization challenges the Western idea of art and explores how different cultures express spirituality through art.

Uudishimu ronib kõrgele korstna otsa. Rõõm kargleb batuudil. Hirm kükitab roostetanud plekkpurgis riidekapi all. Hoolivus aitab väikesed teod üle tee " Iga emotsioon saab selles raamatus endale karvase tegelase näo ja karakteri. Pehmed pildid ja inspireeriv poeetiline tekst annavad lugejale kinnitust, et me kõik jagame sarnaseid tundeid, nii positiivseid kui negatiivseid, ja kutsuvad meid oma tundeid märkama ja nende üle arutlema.

Bullerby lapsed mängivad oma rõõmsaid mänge, ronivad mööda künkaid, kütivad ürgveiseid, toidavad tallesid, püüavad vähke, magavad öösel metsas ja löövad jaaniku ümber tantsu. «Minul on kahju kõigist, kes ei ela Bullerbys,» ütleb Anna. Natuke raskeks läheb asi ainult siis, kui nad peavad koos Liisaga olema lapsehoidjad. Autorid: Astrid Lindgren
