Breaking Resemblance explores the complex relationship between contemporary art and religion by focusing on the ways artists re-work religious motifs as a means to reflect critically on our desire to believe in images, on the history of seeing them, and on their double power? iconic and political. It discusses a number of exhibitions that take religion as their central theme, and a selection of works by Bill Viola, Lawrence Malstaf, Victoria Reynolds, and Berlinde de Bruyckere?all of whom, in their respective ways and media, recycle religious motifs and iconography and whose works resonate with, or problematize the motif of, the true image. 606 $aArt, Modern$y21st century$xThemes, motives 606 $aArt, Modern$y20th century$xThemes, motives 606 $aIdols and images in art 606 $aArt and religion 610 $aacheiropoietos. 610 $aappropriation. 610 $acontemporary art. 610 $acounter-motif. 610 $acult image. 610 $aeras of the image. 610 $aexhibition. 610 $aiconoclasm. 610 $ainstallation. 610 $apainting. 610 $apresentation. 610 $aready-made. 610 $aregimes of the image. 610 $areligious iconography. 610 $areligious motif. 610 $asculpture. 610 $aspirituality. 610 $avideo-art. 615 0$aArt, Modern$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aArt, Modern$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aIdols and images in art. 615 0$aArt and religion. 676 $a700/.4820218 676 $a700.4820218 700 $aAlexandrova$b Alena$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01016131 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809608203321 996 $aBreaking Resemblance$93961527 997 $aUNINA
