Form Follows Dysfunction

Thanks to Karen for bringing this article, by Jeremy Biles, to our attention. It's from the Martin Marty Center for the Advanced Study of Religion at the University of Chicago Divinity School. The article describes an art installation at the Chicago Cultural Center, of Christine Tarkowski’s work entitled “Last Things Will Be First and First Things Will Be Last.” It's a timely (given our recent visit from Douglas Hicks, and Michael Moore's DVD release of Capitalism: A Love Story) look at the financial idolatry of American life. "Do not cooperate" is the message the author of the article sees in the work.
