<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">This workshop is an extension of the </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Birdprayers</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> project, involving around 60 elementary school kids from a little village in Bantul. While the workshop was done in an Islamic School with the aim to open eyes to diversity of religions in multicultural societies, Sara and Arya were building a dialogue with the childern by making masks in the various shapes of holy buildings. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The next step of the workshop was that the children were encouraged to write a letter to God on the mask, so we could see an intimate expression and conversation by them with God; hoping to learn about their dreams and hopes and to notice that those are similar to all childern, no matter their culture or religion. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">At the end of the workshop the kids were lead in a procession while wearing their masks, toward an open field where their wishes and dreams could be sent into the universe.</span></span><br />

</div><div>ID - Contemporary Art Indonesia ist ein Projekt von Nya Luong und J.C. Lanca in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien und wird durch den Hauptstadtkulturfonds gefördert.</div><div>Die Berliner Ausstellung mit ihrem umfangreichen Residenzprogramm setzt einen 2007 begonnenen interkulturellen Dialog zwischen Indonesien und Deutschland fort. Sie ist eine thematische Vertiefung der ersten Projektphase „HomeSweetHome“ [30.10.-24.11.2007], die neun deutsche Positionen nach Yogyakarta brachte.</div><div>Berlin, Oktober 2010: ID - Contemporary Art Indonesia ist eine – sich bis zur Finissage ständig wandelnde - Ausstellung mit elf künstlerischen Positionen, die um das vielfältig interpretierbare Buchstabenpaar ID kreisen. ID versteht sich hier sowohl als Kürzel für Indonesien als auch für Identität. Die Fotografien, Zeichnungen, Installationen und Videos der internationalen KünstlerInnen thematisieren nationale, virtuelle, individuelle und kollektive Identitäten.</div><div>Ein wichtiger Diskurs im Spannungsfeld dieser Topoi des Selbst ist die Frage der nationalstaatlichen Identität. „Wir wollen nicht nur einem deutschen Publikum die zeitgenössische Kunst des südostasiatischen Archipels vorstellen und Interesse oder Verständnis für das Andere fördern.“ betont J.C. Lanca, Mitbegründer und Koordinator des Projektes. „Uns geht es vor allem darum, die Grenze zwischen dem Eigenen und dem Anderen zu reflektieren und sie im wechselseitigen Austausch aufzulösen.“ In der künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung wird so dem Interkulturellen eine Bedeutung zugewiesen, anstatt es als bloße Worthülle zu verwenden.</div><div>Die Mehrheit der Arbeiten entstand und entsteht explizit für die Ausstellung im Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien. Sie werden konzeptuell und in der Umsetzung durch die künstlerische Leiterin Nya Luong begleitet.</div><div>Ein kulturelles Rahmenprogramm mit Symposium, thematischen Führungen und ein – von Philip Widmann zusammengestelltes – Kinoprogramm zusammengestellt im FSK in Kreuzberg begleitet die Kunst. Zur Ausstellung erscheint ein Katalog.</div><div><br />

<b>All in the Mind; Life Performance, Berlin 2010</b><br />
All in the Mind ist eine Performance im öffentlichen Raum, bei der vier Akteure jeweils eine Vogelhaus in Form einer Synagoge, einer Moschee, einer Pagode und einer Kirche auf dem Kopf tragen. Als Symbole für die vier Weltreligionen Judentum, Islam, Buddhismus und Christentum beschränken die Vogelhäuser das Blickfeld desjenigen, der sie auf dem Kopf trägt – jeder sieht nur den kleinen Ausschnitt der Welt, den die Eingangstür des Vogelhauses freigibt. Nach Ubud [Bali], Yogyakarta, Istanbul, Den Haag und Rom wird All in the Mind in Berlin neu produziert. Die sechste Edition von All in the Mind ist einen Tag vor der Vernissage von ID-Contemporary Art Indonesia auf den Mariannenplatz in Kreuzberg zu sehen. Zudem wird die Videodokumentation der Performance The Birdprayers Edition #2, welche in Yogyakarta entstand, für die Dauer der Ausstellung ID-Contemporary Art Indonesia vorgeführt.<br />

Wereldwijd laten religies en religieuzen steeds meer van zich horen. In de leegte die het moderne bestaan achterlaat, wordt het heil ook buiten de religieuze instituties gezocht. Cursussen spiritualiteit tieren welig in Nederland en kunstenaars geven religie weer een grote rol, of leveren commentaar daarop. Van een herrijzenis lijkt geen sprake: religie en spiritualiteit zijn van oudsher inspiratiebronnen geweest voor kunst en omgekeerd gaf kunst eeuwenlang vorm aan religieuze en spirituele opvattingen.

Birdprayers is een reactie op de schijnbare onmogelijkheid religieuze conflicten in onze wereld op te lossen. Vier performers in neutrale kostuums, dragen elk een model van een religieus gebouw op hun hoofd: een kerk, een synagoge, een moskee of een hindoeïstische tempel. Ze lopen over het festivalterrein en positioneren zichzelf als levende monumenten voor de kijker die op hun beurt worden verward, geamuseerd en uitgedaagd. Met dit werk geven de kunstenaars commentaar op de (inter)religieuze hegemonie die gevangen zit in een nooit eindigend debat, uitmondend in een polemisch drama. Een drama dat voortkomt uit het vasthouden aan een identiteit en dus het denken beperkt. Of dat nu de erfenis is van het joods-christelijk denken als rechtvaardiging van de Nederlandse democratie of de groeiende manifestering van radicaliserende islambewegingen in het grootste moslimland ter wereld, Indonesië.</div>

It is a creative response to the weighty and seemingly impossible to resolve issue of religious conflict in the world. By representing four major world religions, Judaism, Catholicism, Hinduism and Islam the artists react and challenge competing (and at times inter) religious hegemonies locked in a never-ending debate of often bloody and polemical drama. However, although <em>Birdprayers </em>expresses the need for unity and peace, rather than being strictly utopian in focus, the project also highlights the difficult realities of such a goal through playful and sombre strategies. </span></span><em><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">CUT2010 </span></span></em><span lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">has selected photographic documentation of the ongoing performance strand of the project, titled <em>All in the Mind</em> as part of the exhibition.</span></span></span></span></i></em></span></div></div><div class="style1" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; line-height: 19px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><em><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Four protagonists, in neutral costumes, wear models of each of the main houses of worship on top of their heads: a church, synagogue, mosque and Hindu temple. They walk through their surroundings and or position themselves as living monuments for viewers to be confused, amused and challenged. The images in <em>CUT2010 </em>represent five of the performances that have taken place so far in Bali, Yogyakarta, Istanbul, Rome and The Hague, but the photographs are now dislocated from their original context as a framing device for performance documentation. As such, the aesthetics of the images becomes a rhetorical device that is just as interesting as the thing it describes. It also contributes to the legacy of the project as both artwork and document.<br />
<br />
The scenes are lush and compelling yet fractured with mystery and unanswered questions. The project as a whole confronts the physical and mental walls built by conservative notions surrounding the external ritualisation of mass religion and culture. The artists comment that these dividers affirm that each religion is its own world and when placed side by side, they literally represent parallel universes. Such a psychological underpinning prompts deep questions about faith and its function in contemporary society.</span></span></i></em></span></div></div><div class="style1" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; line-height: 19px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><em><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

This combination of knowledge and sensory stimulation has been said to communicate the ‘essential truths’ about the subject as well as romantic qualities that makes an image a profound window to the soul. But despite its position as a mechanism for truth – we are able to validate the existence of the subject because of photography’s accuracy far more easily than its painterly predecessor – it is nevertheless, a carefully composed theatre of images. What is being presented therefore, is a <em>parallel universe</em>. This is at once real and imagined: a world made up of technical shadow and framed physical substance.<br />
<br />
<em>CUT2010</em> actively pursues this duality as well as the cracks in between. It aims to examine the subtleties and extremes of the medium’s capabilities as well as the rich ideological concepts behind them. Taking the subversion of reality as a starting point, twelve practitioners from Southeast Asia have been selected to participate in the exhibition. Artists from Malaysia (<strong>Shooshie Sulaiman and Eiffel Chong</strong>), Singapore (<strong>Mintio and Zhao Renhui</strong>), Thailand (<strong>Michael Shaowanasai and Tanapol Kaewpring</strong>), Philippines (<strong>Wawi Navarroza and Frankie Callaghan</strong>) and Indonesia (<strong>Wimo Bayang, Agan Harahap, Sara Nuytemans and Arya Pandjalu</strong>) contribute their personal perspectives through new and recent work. Selected for their commitment and energy to practice, they were invited to respond and play with the theme of the exhibition in order to start a dialogue with their ongoing concerns as image-makers. In return they offer viewers elaborate works that contemplate politics, religion, scientific inquiry, mysterious sub-cultures, gender and cultural identity, as well as the urban and natural environment. Such a diverse focus naturally incorporates and embraces photography’s ability for story telling. Myths and make believe as well as personal hopes and social critique all emerge in intentional and unintentional narratives throughout the exhibition. But importantly, questions are also being presented for audiences to consider. In a contemporary world, increasingly dominated by media and cultural images, the exhibition asks: how does fine art photography in Southeast Asia interrogate the status of the medium and present an alternate stage for us to contemplate deeper issues about human existence? How can photography be critical and expressive at the same time?<br />
<br />
<strong>The techniques</strong> of the photographic process are often taken for granted. At present, relatively sophisticated images can be created by the general public, and photographic images are everywhere. Therefore photography has become an increasingly affordable and democratised art form. This in itself is a positive thing, allowing many audiences outlets for creativity, but it also reduces photography to something that is part of mass production. <em>PARALLEL UNIVERSE </em>purposefully chooses aesthetically amplified images to highlight and rigorously consider the technical world of photography, in both film and digital production.<br />
<br />
Appropriation and collage of found images from pop culture and history is a well known strategy in contemporary visual art. In photography, this method reveals that the image is not an impenetrable surface, but a fragile skin that can be subverted. <strong>Shooshie Sulaiman and Agan Harahap</strong> both seek found photography and employ processes of removal and interaction but through two very different strategies. One is physically reacting, covering and layering on to the surface to question racial/national identity whereas the other digitally reworks the very fabric of the image itself to play with the spectacle of war and super heroes. <strong>Frankie Callaghan</strong>, surprisingly, uses only the most delicate traces of processing to create heightened stages of urban beauty challenging the eye to believe if this is a ‘naturally’ produced image whereas <strong>Wawi Navarroza</strong> purposefully seeks epic fakeness in her constructed political tableau through meticulous post production methods. The utopian dreams of religious respect and understanding by <strong>Sara Nuytemans and Arya Pandjalu </strong>unintentionally comments on photography’s role in documentation, whose boundaries continue to blur. Here the image has the possibility to transcend the performance it reproduces to stand alone as an artwork in its own right. Does the photograph therefore reduce or amplify the power of this past event? How does it transform the legacy of a performative project, which in itself is a theatre of dreams?<br />
<br />
<strong>Conceptually </strong>each photographer contributes carefully constructed perspectives that are often rooted in their cultural contexts. However, these in turn become departure points for universal human issues.<strong> Mintio’s</strong> concentrated faces of young Singaporean online gamers in front of their computer screens discuss a semi-sacred meeting place for psychological and virtual worlds. Here, any scenario is possible. This intense, global youth culture rejects the physical, for its own unique codes of conduct and rituals. <strong>Eiffel Chong </strong>presents another mysterious sub-culture based on obsession and fetish. Selecting the Japanese manga doll as his subject Chong monumentalises these small figurines to reveal the desires and beliefs projected onto them by their owners and participants as part of the fan(atic) culture that revolves around Japanese anime and comics. <strong>Zhao Renhui</strong>, as a photographer is cloaked in secrecy, as is his affiliation with the Institute of Critical Zoologists. Documenting mysterious expeditions and scientific research, all is not what it seems in images that analyse cultural ideals about nature through wildlife photography. The landscape feels both exotic and familiar at the same time. What do we choose to believe and reject?<br />
<br />
Finally personal and public identity remains an important subject in Southeast Asian visual practice. The collision of the local and the global, of the past and the present creates many complex questions for artists to address. However, rather than be didactic, practitioners have embraced open ended and diverse strategies. This approach, which is often playful, illustrates that identity is a constantly fluctuating concept. <strong>Wimo Bayang</strong> parodies a well-known phrase about the Dutch during the colonial era in Indonesia. The images are not a warning but a humorous act of self-reclamation and independence from ties to past.<strong>Michael Shaowanasai, </strong>analyses the position of women in society. By placing himself as the central character in his work, he contributes his admiration and observations on the complexities of female identity more than just aspects of transvestite culture in Thailand.<strong>Tanapol Kaewpring</strong>, chooses the landscape as a more abstracted signifier for personal memory. Here the artist presents natural settings with a curious glass cube that traps untouchable elements like fire and smoke, a chamber of thoughts in environments of personal relevance.<br />
<br />
Together this body of work forms its own parallel universe of images and concepts in the gallery. But what is a parallel universe? It is an imagined place or dreamscape based on an alternate notion of time and space, filled with memorable characters and elaborate scenes and narratives. This construct destabilises audiences who are attracted by haunting and beautiful signs that portray direct and subtle parables about the real world. By selecting the uncanny, or rather, what is familiar and foreign at the same time, the exhibition curatorially endeavours to create a necessary pause on photography as a medium, to discuss exactly what this window to the soul could be. Such theatrically tries to expand our imagination and curiosity, because like Alice, we all wonder at times what the world would be like if we step through the looking glass.<br />
<br />
I would like to thank all the artists involved in this exhibition for their time, generosity of knowledge and commitment to the project.</span></span></i></em></span></div></div><div class="style1" style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><em><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

As such, the project confronts the physical and psychological walls built by conservative notions surrounding the external ritualisation of mass religion and culture rather then more personal spiritual responses to these faiths.</span></div></div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_3384" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px; width: 490px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each model is covered with relevant materials to the location, seeds suspended in resin on wood for Bali, printed zinc (for making tin cans) in Yogyakarta, traditional Turkish fabric for Istanbul, slices of bread for the Hague (for the birds on the pond to eat) and tourist maps in Rome. However, there is no recognisable religious symbolism. This is a deliberate strategy to resist the immediate and strong connotations such symbols as the Star of David, the Cross, Om and the Star and Crescent of Islam provoke in the minds of the viewers. Rather then quote religious iconography Nuytemans and Pandjalu prefer to use site specificity through the surfaces of their models to address issues of cultural identity through religion.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cultural identity is learnt from childhood. This process conditions the mind on what is familiar, natural to become a perceived ‘truth’ versus what is foreign, unfamiliar and therefore not to be trusted or believed so easily. Nuytemans comments that “As Neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to change its structure and function in response to experience) is one of the most important and developing topics in Neuroscience today, it becomes more and more clear that humans always explore the surroundings with the reference of his own mind-set. We all have a culturally modified brain. Cultural differences are so persistent because when our native culture is learned, it becomes “second nature”. The tastes of our culture all seem “natural” to us. In general, humans find familiar types of stimulation pleasurable: they seek out like-minded individuals to associate with, and they tend to ignore or forget, or attempt to discredit, information that does not match their beliefs, or perception of the world, because it is very distressing and difficult to think and perceive in unfamiliar ways.” As such the collaboration between Nuytmans and Pandjalu, two artists from very different cultural backgrounds, is a method of cross cultural pollination through sharing and learning as well as as combination of knowledge to address issues surrounding religion, as two citizens of the global world.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The performance is not an overt political protest but a call for unity, a diplomatic attempt at tolerance and is an ongoing project that will be performed in sites around the world with accompanying talks and exhibitions. However this is not to say that is does not engage with politics. It would be impossible not to link the two that have historically walked hand in hand for generations. The sequence performed by a river in the Hague is played in reverse, alluding to the work of extreme right wing minister Geert Wilders whose anti-Muslim rhetoric seems to be polarising the Netherlands into potentially pro and anti Islamic battle grounds. Even the birds, were not tempted to try to eat the models made out of bread. However rather than taking an overt and didactic stance <em>Birdprayers </em>seeks to provoke questioning and hopes to champion possibilities whilst highlighting the current landscape of political, cultura and religious tensions.</span></div></div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_3386" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px; width: 490px;"><div class="wp-caption-text"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

All the three monotheistic religions (Islam, Christianity and Judaism) stem from the same Abrahamic beginnings and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all</span> these religions share similar views on morality yet their isolation from one another has been the foundation of wars and conflicts. The symbolic walls of these houses of worship have the possibility to trap the mind, like a bird cage, whereas the bird, itself so prevalent in religion, in this instance is a marker of freedom and transcendence from the earthly world to a higher and more personal spiritual plane.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will we ever live in a world devoid of conflict and misunderstanding, of inter faith harmony and tolerance? It seems unlikely given human nature. How will these grand narratives ever be achieved? <em>Birdprayers </em>doesn’t provide those answers, but presents a striking visual engagement with these issues in the hope to open up dialogue to reveal the walls that separate and divide us.</span></div></div><div style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

They walked around a bird market and went to the greenery and pasture of the rice paddies. The sensitive issue of the freedom to practice one's religion is addressed in the work in a subtle approach. It points out the individual spiritual freedom behind the confine of religious institutions that tend to monopolize our understanding of faith."</span></div>Sara Nuytemans & Arya Pandjaluhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15384134655358258461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558957223136819854.post-63636010921933016602010-11-30T17:54:00.000+01:002010-11-30T17:54:49.889+01:00MaterialsThe materials for making the models of every edition are adapted to the local circumstances.<br />

How to pray with the birds:<br />
1. Wake up<br />
2. Walk outside where there's a lot of trees<br />
3. Listen<br />
4. Hear the blending of birdsong<br />
5. Pick out certain ones<br />
6. Count how many different songs there are<br />
7. Listen for rhythm and rhyme of the song<br />
8. Listen for mockingbirds who mimick the others<br />
9. Try to actually see them calling so you can know what type make that call<br />
10. Thank God with them, for the birds are taught by God to sing for him.<br />
<br />
This is the reverse in a way of St. Francis of Assisi's sermon to the birds. Rather, the birds are teaching us something. Below are links to St. Francis.<br />

INTERFACE is based on the presentation of art works which consciously confront themselves with religion. The aim of the exhibition is neither to shock nor draw attention to the religious questions, but trace different approaches to this theme by artists coming from various religious environments – Islam, Jewish and Christian, as well as different local contexts (Asia, Europe, America). The main intention of the exhibition is to search possibilities of understanding among various religions. In the eyes of an ordinary man the mass media manipulation can easily turn every Muslim into an enemy, a terrorist. Similar manipulations can deform our opinions on the Jewish, Christian or other religious identity.<br />
<br />
Works, created in the media of video, object and painting, presented at the exhibition INTERFACE raise questions about how artists from different cultures and religions express themselves in art. How does a universal language of contemporary art reflect different religious and philosophical approaches? To what extent does religion even today effect our ability to see and interpret the visual reality? Did contemporary art lose the Church as a patron that for many centuries had commissioned artists to create art works? Do religious topics and motifs, the sacred and transcendent still belong among topical issues of art? The exhibition does not have an ambition to judge nor take an apriori attitude about the theme but on the basis of the presented works it wants to provide a space for a discussion</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.openspace-zkp.org/2009/en/projects.php?y=2008&p=2">http://www.openspace-zkp.org</a></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="http://priestor.crazycurators.org/index.php?Idx1=2&Idx2=1&Params[id]=47">http://priestor.crazycurators.org</a></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

Their faces are covered, unknown. The four men are anonymous, placed on the same, equal level. Thus none of the religions presented by architectural models on their heads is superior to the others. They co-exist in peaceful harmony. Artists coming from two differnt religious backgrounds thus expressed their own idea of religious equality and tolerance.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />
