The Acton Institute is thrilled to be hosting Makoto Fujimura’s “Walking on Water – Azurite“, which isFujimura’s official entry for ArtPrize 2014 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The 8′ x 11′ work, created with mineral pigment on polished gesso, must be seen in person to be appreciated; the depth of the colors and textures of the piece are stunning. Actonalso has the privilege of hosting additional works by Fujimura from his series, “The Four Holy Gospels,” in thePrince Broekhuizen Gallery inside the DeVos Family Conference Center.

Hosting such a monumental piece of art is not a simple matter; for instance, we had to deal with the basic problem of where to hangsuch a large work. In this short film, we document the process of preparing an exhibition space in the Acton Building upon which to display Fujimura’sbeautiful workfor the duration of ArtPrize.
