ACE are also currently advertising Icons of the absence of God: An ACE/King's College symposium on Rothko and spirituality, 10am-5pm, 24 January 2009 at King’s College, Strand, London WC2.

Does Rothko offer consolation to a godless world? Where lies the enigma of Rothko’s paintings?
To coincide with the major exhibition of Mark Rothko’s work at Tate Modern, this symposium will critically review different interpretations of these works, and how they speak to their social and cultural context, from the perspectives of cultural history, neuro-science, art history and theology.
