PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God

Today, Frank Warren has been mailed more than 500,000 postcards and continues to receive almost 1,000 handmade postcards every week. This international phenomenon spawned the New York Times bestseller: PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives. An exhibition of selected postcards began its first national tour in September 2007 to coincide with the publication of the fourth book in the series, A Lifetime of Secrets. This year, with the release of his new book PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death and God, IA&A presents a second exhibition of Warren's project focusing exclusively on the subject of faith.

PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death and God presents more than 270 postcards that unearth a myriad of private thoughts concerning spirituality and religion. This exhibition was inspired by a recent installation, All Faiths Beautiful: From Atheism to Zoroastrianism, Respect For Diversity of Belief, at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. Expressing the spirit of this new exhibition, Museum Director Rebecca Hoffberger states: "Whereas much has been made of interfaith discussion (surely meritorious) the deeper reality is that faith is never a monolithic thing, but rather a more personal, individualistic phenomenon."
