Six Indiana
photographers documented aspects of religion and spirituality in Indianapolis
in Falling Toward Grace, an exhibition of 75 photographs presented by The
Polis Center in partnership with the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The exhibition
ran from June 13 through Oct. 11, 1998 in the Steven G. Conant Galleries at the
IMA.
A selection of
the photographs in the exhibition appeared in The Polis Center’s book, Falling
Toward Grace: Images of Religion and Culture from the Heartland, a
collection of poems and essays by 21 Indiana authors published by Indiana
University Press. The photo exhibition and book were part of the creative arts
initiative of the Center’s Project on Religion and Urban Culture.
The exhibition
featured the works of well-known Indiana photographers Kim Charles Ferrill,
Darryl Jones, Tyagan Miller, Carl Pope, Ginny Taylor Rosner, and Jeffrey A.
Wolin. The 75 black and white and color photographic essays examined religion
and spirituality from six very different perspectives.
The exhibit
later went on display at the Indianapolis Art Center.
