Michelangelo Revealed

Michelangelo Revealed is a new DVD that has come into the Learning Centre and is now available for loan.

"A restorer working on a Michelangelo sculpture uncovers evidence showing that the official artist of the Vatican and the Catholic Church, was, during the period of the Inquisition, flirting with Protestantism. Michelangelo belonged to a secret fraternity that was active in trying to avoid a schism in the Catholic and Protestant Churches. All of his friends who were pushing for reforms within the church were subsequently put to death by the Inquisition. Michelangelo however, being too important for the Catholic Church's own propaganda, was spared." -- back cover

• MONUMENTAL VISION IN NEPAL

The Indiana Jones of the art world, Australian sculptor Andrew Rogers, had a vision to create twelve monumental Earth artwork sites around the world. Inspired by the Nazca lines in Peru, these giant rock works are made to be viewed from the air and are large enough to be seen by satellite, 350 km into space. Rogers engages local artisans to build these geoglyphs, which can span vast areas. In this fascinating and groundbreaking adventure/travel documentary, we see how Rogers works in Nepal with local elders to identify their heritage, and recreate the important symbols in stone that carry their stories and their history.

This is a far cry from Harvey Krumpet, which cost only $380,000 and was made by Elliot and a couple of mates in his father's storage unit.
