The Dadian @ 25 presents the offerings of 25 artists and 6 curators from across its rich history, whose visual mediations have consistently offered a brave and profound exploration of inward self-knowledge, even as their chosen materials and images have challenged viewers to scrutinize their own spiritual lives. Their artwork and revealing, inspirational reflections have been recorded in this catalogue which accompanied the 2014 exhibition. The visionary concept, controversial design campaign, and remarkable generosity of donors are chronicled, shedding light on the mission and legacy of the Dadian's visual ministry over the past quarter century. For 25 years, the Dadian Gallery has been unique in the United States, offering exhibitions in a museum-quality setting situated at the heart of a theological seminary. Since its inception in 1989, the Dadian has been the premier venue for artwork created at the intersection of art and faith, with no profit motive attached to the sale of individual artworks. The Dadian has sought, showcased, and celebrated hundreds of established and emerging artists, whose creative energies have, at times, defied mainstream and academic art world norms to probe difficult sacred and personal questions. The Dadian Gallery is a program of The Henry Luce III Center for the Arts and Religion, which sponsors a variety of cultural events exploring the intersection between art and religion and promoting dialogue between artists and theologians.

Climates. Habitats. Environments.
<b>Artists and writers go beyond disciplinary boundaries and linear histories to address the fight for environmental justice, uniting the Asia-Pacific vantage point with international discourse.</b> <p/>Modeling the curatorial as a method for uniting cultural production and science, <i>Climates. Habitats. Environments.</i> weaves together image and text to address the global climate crisis. Through exhibitions, artworks, and essays, artists and writers transcend disciplinary boundaries and linear histories to bring their knowledge and experience to bear on the fight for environmental justice. In doing so, they draw on the rich cultural heritage of the Asia-Pacific, in conversation with international discourse, to demonstrate transdisciplinary solution-seeking. <p/>Experimental in form as well as in method, <i>Climates. Habitats. Environments.</i> features an inventive book design by mono.studio that puts word and image on equal footing, offering a multiplicity of media, interpretations, and manifestations of interdisciplinary research. For example, botanist Matthew Hall draws on Ovid's <i>Metamorphoses</i> to discuss human-plant interpenetration&#x3b; curator and writer Venus Lau considers how spectrality consumes--and is consumed--in animation and film, literature, music, and cuisine&#x3b; and critical theorist and filmmaker Elizabeth Povinelli proposes "Water Sense" as a geontological approach to "the question of our connected and differentiated existence," informed by the "ancestral catastrophe of colonialism." Artists excavate the natural and cultural DNA of indigo, lacquer, rattan, and mulberry&#x3b; works at the intersection of art, design, and architecture explore "The Posthuman City"&#x3b; an ongoing research project investigates the ecological urgencies of Pacific archipelagos. The works of art, the projects, and the majority of the texts featured in the book were commissioned by NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore. <p/>Copublished with NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore
