On this episode of All Things Cosmic, we have the sheer delight of talking with Dan Siedell, Professor of Modern Art history, Theory, and Criticism at King's College in NYC and Doctoral Candidate in theology at Drew University in New Jersey. In various ways from personal histories to reflections on philosophy and theology, Dr. Siedell expounds on the often tenuous, mysterious, and multiplicitous reciprocal relation between art and religion that he explores in his texts God and the Gallery (Baker Academic, 2008), Who's Afraid of Modern Art? Modern Art in Conversation (Cascade, 2015), and Enrique Martinez Celaya: Work and Documents, 1900-2015 (Radius Books, 2016). Bringing in his experience as an art curator of over 100 exhibitions to his theoretical work philosophies and theologies of art, Dr. Siedell offers a robust discussion around the meaning-making that takes place in art and can serve as a source of ultimate foundation in similar ways to and independent of the meaning-making occurrent in those philosophical and experiential philosophies dubbed the "world religions" by many. Hosting an appropriate musical feature by Gilead7, this is one to tune in for.
