The photographs shown here are a collection of artistic responses by the University community to the question: What is sacred? We received more than 150 answers to our query, featuring images of people, buildings, nature, sculpture and icons that are portrayed in such a way that they point the viewer beyond the ordinary to the transcendent and the profound. Though we only have room to commend a small portion of the submissions, the quality and thought behind every response received prove that neither artistic ability nor spiritual conviction are lacking at Princeton.
Those who would like to view prints of these commended photos are invited to attend the opening of the "What's Sacred? Princeton Views" photo exhibition in Murray-Dodge Hall today between 3 and 4:30 p.m. Many thanks to all who participated in this endeavor, and congratulations to those who received commendation. The exhibition is curated by Janet Dickerson, University vice president for campus life; Eve Aschheim, professor of visual arts; Jeffrey Stout GS '76, professor of religion; Thomas Dunne, associate dean of undergraduate students; Paul Raushenbush, associate dean of religious life; and Ben Amster, executive editor for photography at The Daily Princetonian.
This exhibit is sponsored by the Office of Religious Life, the Office of Undergraduate Students, the Office of the Vice President for Campus Life, the Program in Visual Arts and The Daily Princetonian.
