August 11 – October 12, 2017
Reception and Discussion Saturday, September 23, 5–7 pm
Discussion featured Fr. Tom Gallagher, Pastor of St. Patrick – St. Anthony Church, and artist, Joseph Novak. Novak presented via FaceTime from Flint, Michigan discussing his intention in creating the series, his process, as well as how he hopes viewers will interact with the work.
The Clare Gallery hosted the New England premiere of The Minimum Bible, an exhibition of graphic design artwork by Flint, Michigan artist and Presbyterian pastor, Joseph Novak. Being a pastor and a graphic designer, Novak considered whether the books of the Old and New Testament could be rendered utilizing essential symbols and themes. If successfully done, the images would visually communicate the books’ overall stories. The result is the series The Minimum Bible. The Clare Gallery exhibited 30 of the 66 images, from both the Old and New Testament series.
