Yo-Yo Ma, via @onbeing: “I can’t say the word ‘beauty’ without also equating it with the word ‘transcendence.’ Beauty is often an encapsulation of a lot of different things in a certain moment. It could be a poem. It could be an event. It could be in nature. But when that encapsulated form is received, there’s a moment of reception and cognition that is startling. The moment that something is revealed — something is being transferred. There’s a transfer of life. It’s the human cognition of that vastness, the awe and the wonder, something that’s bigger than yourself.” . The great cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, shares his philosophy of living. Turning fear into joy. Performance as hospitality and communal witnessing. Beauty as a transfer of life. Sound as visual. How music makes us better. And being a firm believer in accidental meetings. Listen at @onbeing. — #artoffaith
An architectural installation by #RowanMersh in 2009, made from over 150 miles of cotton thread. To create this piece, Mersh traced the moving rays of light and shadows they cast throughout the course of a day. — #artoffaith
One of the most profound experiences you can have in a gallery is to stand face to face with a #MarkRothko painting. He said of his work, “I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions — tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on — and the fact that lots of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I communicate those basic human emotions… The people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when I painted them.” — #artoffaith Photo by @freudmonkgallery

#RichardSerra at the @sfmoma, as captured by @annekim.photo. Installations are basically my favorite, which is why I share so many of them. 😊 — #artoffaith
