The Missing Peace: Contemporary Artists Consider the Dalai Lama
The Missing Peace is an international art show that seeks to renew and revitalize the global dialogue about peace. Seventy of the world's most respected artists have donated new work, which will be shown in at least twenty cities around the world. The object of the show is to promote thought and dialog about compassion, patience, courage, nonviolence, responsibility, the interdependence of all life, and the relationship between violence and suffering. "The Missing Peace" is not about the Dalai Lama, but looks to him as a source of inspiration. The Dalai Lama often talks about the relationship between inner and outer peace and between peace in families and neighborhoods and geopolitical peace. Building on that, the project uses art as a universal language to help us understand the links between all these expressions of peace. Our contribution, "Impermanence: The Time of Man," will explore the temporal nature of life. A video-based installation, it will present its topic in an immediate and memorable way and hopefully causes its viewers to think about who they are as human beings and how they are living in the world. |
