"Noli me tangere," these are the words of the risen Christ to Mary
Magdalene in the Latin Bible translation of John 20:17. Few
expressions from the Bible have stimulated so much interest among
artists and theologians alike as these three intriguing words. The
"Noli me tangere" motif serves as the basis of an interdisciplinary
research programme supported by the Fund for Scientific Research -
Flanders, and entitled "Mary Magdalene and the Touching of Jesus:
An Intra- and Interdisciplinary Investigation of the Interpretation
of John 20:17 in Exegesis, Iconography and Pastoral Care." In
cooperation with the Centre for Women's Studies Theology of the
Faculty of Theology of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
(Belgium), the research team organised an exhibition in the Maurits
Sabbe Library under the title "Noli me tangere: Mary Magdalene: One
Person, Many Images (Maria Magdalena in veelvoud)" (23 February to
30 April 2006). In the first part of the present volume, the four
members of the research team , Sabine Van Den Eynde, Reimund
Bieringer, Karlijn Demasure and Barbara Baert explore the
significance of the "Noli me tangere" motif each from the
perspective of their own particular discipline. The second part of
the volume contains a catalogue of the exhibited works with a
colour photograph and a short description. The artworks stem from a
number of historical periods, running from the fifteenth to the
twenty-first centuries. A variety of genres and artistic media are
also represented in this exhibition: graphics, paintings, sculpture
and miniatures side by side with devotional art. The research team
also invited contemporary artists to contribute their
interpretation of the "Noli me tangere" motif to the exhibition.
The painting of the Indian artist Lucy D'Souza represents the fine
line between Christianity and Hinduism. The photographer Malou
Swinnen photographed a woman from the Philippines while the
calligrapher Brody Neuenschwander created a sculpture covered with
a veil of letters. The painter Claire Vanden Abbeele was found
willing to make her already existing "Noli me tangere" available
for the occasion. The exhibition thus combines artistic periods,
artistic media and the various continents of the world. "Noli me
tangere: Mary Magdalene: One Person, Many Images" hopes to provide
a glimpse of Mary Magdalene that unites both past and present.
