Jim Berenholtz and Gregangelo Herrera are creating a solar temple titled "RA-Balisk" in the Kimball Gallery of the museum. Visitors will be encouraged to explore the mysterious inner sanctum of this temple with archetypal wall paintings, three dimensional altars, photographic projections and dazzling special effects integrated into the interactive installations. The temple art will be based primarily on ancient Egyptian icons, motifs, and symbols and will also incorporate influences from other solar worshipping, pyramid building civilizations, such as those of ancient Mexico, Central, and South America. Traditional iconography will be interpreted with a contemporary sensibility, making 'Ra-Balisk" not an ethnographic documentation of something that might have existed in the distant past, but rather a vibrant, living, sacred space that brings the ancient artistic spirit forward to the present and into the future.

Die
Pyramiden – Häuser für die Ewigkeit
Die Ausstellung erzählt die Entstehung und Geschichte
der großen Pyramiden Ägyptens.
Durch zahlreiche Modelle und Original-Werkzeuge wird über
den Bau der Pyramiden berichtet. Die Theorien über den
Pyramidenbau werden erläutert. Die begehbare Rekonstruktion
einer Grabkammer und die Darstellung der Lebensbedingungen
dieser Zeit sind Höhepunkte dieser Ausstellung. Originalobjekte
aus dem Alten Ägypten, wie Statuen und Dienerfiguren,
Reliefs und Opfertafeln führen uns in die Grabkultur
und Jenseitsvorstellungen ein. Die Objekte stammen aus bedeutenden
deutschen Sammlungen.
Die Ausstellung zeigt, wie sich ägyptisierende Motive
- die Pyramide, der Obelisk und die Sphinx - als Elemente
in der Gartenbaukunst oder im Porzellan etablieren.
