Hypothesis: Can a person using words, imagery, and music setup a physical space in a public venue where any person (despite their belief system) is able to create art, where the venue is ancillary to a Christian church.

The Premise

the following is written on the front wall of the exhibition:

I went to the mountain top. There I saw with my own eyes the living creator, real in all ways, and an artist, no doubt. He showed me his plans for creation, the ingredients for making gold, the blueprints for separating the sea from the sand.

He lamented with me, he said his intentions were always to share his creative ways with his people, so that they too, could create.

He said that material in the physical realm was easy to change and mold. And that if everybody weren’t so scared they would see this. But, instead people imprison themselves in the belief that this physical world is all there is. That there’s nothing more, that there’s only earth.

Go and propose an experiment, he said. There you will create a space of complete artistic integrity with care for each detail of matter, show the multitude that creativity is natural, that the physical world is malleable, able to be shifted and molded like clay. Encourage them to participate, to shift matter, to see the veil of the physical world lift, so I can show them the more stable worlds beyond.

Do this and watch as I reveal my creative ways.

Do not be concerned of those with critical and misguided beliefs, those with inflated pride or those who cry “shame”. Those who choose to be fearfully, judgmental will be of little importance in this space. They will be instantly revealed for what they are— mal-creators, responsible for all negative consequences that plague the earth.

Go and be strong, be confident in your ways, of you whom with I am well pleased.
