DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered which challenges are faced by curators 
 of religious art? Dr. Martin Rademacher was actively involved in the prepa
 ration of the exhibition "BILD MACHT RELIGION" in the Kunstmuseum Bochum. 
 He will share his experiences during this lecture at Faculty of Theology a
 nd Religious Studies of the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen\, followed by a Q&
 A with the audience.\n\nThe role of images is contested in religious tradi
 tions. While some religious traditions appreciate images and statues to th
 e point of venerating them\, others are critical\, to say theleast\, about
  (re-)presenting the divine in the media of art. Contemporary art takes up
  these issues\, adopts and transforms them. The exhibition – a cooperati
 ve project organized by theart museum of Bochum and the Center for Religio
 us Studies (CERES) at Ruhr University Bochum – displays artifacts from d
 ifferent regions and times with a focus on Christian traditions. The objec
 ts highlight the whole spectrum of positions towards images reaching from 
 reflected criticism to violent destruction\; often within one and the same
  religious tradition. The talk will present the central ideas behind the e
 xhibition as well as the challenges involved in its preparation and set-up
