<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px;">The artist traces the minute changes of form and color: how applying paint to canvas can embody the characteristics of the locale, and how the volumetric forms of air, water, earth, ice, and sand create compositions undergoing constant metamorphoses. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px;">She painted the desert from direct observation, standing in the midst of the landscape. In Greenland, it was impossible to paint outdoors, except for short walks outside for quick sketches or photographs. She created the paintings by observing through the residence’s large windows, focusing on a single point—“her” iceberg—and followed its changing form as it melted and re-formed.</span></span></span><br />
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px;">Within these infinite, monochromatic landscapes, Appleton has created an intimate journey in paint following the elusive transitions of light, the essence of the quiet, slowness, and feeling of being “at the edge.”</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Raab's paintings of children in the playgrounds may appear harmonious and tranquil with a sense of a joyous exterior veneer. But each painting hints at impending danger. Things on the surface are not always what they seem and life in Israel, and as a Jew, is often threatened. Children huddled in large concrete pipes are terrified, hiding in makeshift shelters to protect themselves from incoming rocket attacks. </span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br />

People reach out to strangers, not only to their loved ones. People show tremendous emunah and strength. There is power in prayer and mitzvot, generating and revealing a higher, transcendental realm beyond the surface."</span></div>

It challenges us to see the miracles of our own lives, how kindness, generosity and hope have the power to be transformative.</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>#PlusLight</b> is a virtual project conceived by artist <b><a href="http://www.tobikahn.com/" target="_blank">Tobi Kahn</a></b> to focus on seeing light in everyday life, and sharing light and hope in the face of the daunting realities of our time. Inspired by Chanukah, the JCC Manhattan invites the global community to use this hashtag as a way of documenting the light we see in the world during the holiday season.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>How to Participate</b><br />Take pictures of light wherever you see it. Streetlamps, menorahs, candles and more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Tag photos with #PlusLight on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, or email your photos to PlusLight@jccmanhattan.org<br /><br />On each of the eight nights of Chanukah Tobi Kahn will select one inspiring image to feature on the JCC Manhattan Facebook page.</span><br />

<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The role of women protagonists in Tanach and Talmudic narratives is dynamic, generative and frequently overlooked in traditional Biblical studies. In many instances women instigate and propel crucial narratives. The illustrious list unfolds from Eve, Lilith, Sarah and Hagar, Mrs. Potiphar, Asnath, Serach, Batya, the Daughters of Zelophehad, Rahab, Devorah, Jael: all of these women and dozens more are uniquely crucial to the biblical narrative as women. Many more are lurking in the Talmud and commentaries. Contemporary Jewish artists are beginning to explore many of these women’s narratives.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Richard McBee</b> will discuss his own work tracing ‘female narrative engines’ as well as the art of Janet Shafner whose work explores the intimate relationship between biblical narrative and Talmudic commentary.

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Matthew Baigell </b>will review how Jewish feminist artists challenged biblical patriarchy and examined contemporary morality with female biblical figures, as well as the work of David Wander, locating them in late 20th century visual culture. Jacqueline Nicholls interrogates 10 Talmudic women as well as the Talmud’s misogynist aphorisms. The curatorial view from Israel will be examined with Dvora Liss (Ein Harod Museum) and her recent exhibition of two women visually engaging the Talmud in “Tosafot” and the work of Andi Arnovitz. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>Ben Schachter</b> will explore how artists, male and female alike, engage feminism in order to examine the relationship between law and cultural norms. At times the intention is clear, to advocate for change. At other times the work presents an open ended examination of gender relations or a celebration of Jewish uniqueness. Biblical and Talmudic motifs will include the Daughters of Zelophehad, the eruv and tzniut.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Amala Lane’s film <i>Archie Rand–The Painted Shul</i> (2007) will be screened on Thursday, December 11 at 2:30 p.m. in the Biederman Library at The Hebrew Home at Riverdale located at 5901 Palisade Avenue in Riverdale, NY. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This event takes place in conjunction with the exhibition <i>Archie Rand: Psalm 68</i> and is free and open to the public. Please R.S.V.P. at 718-581-1596 or art@hebrewhome.org. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the 1970s, Archie Rand painted over 8,000 square feet of murals in the sanctuary and study rooms of the Sephardic synagogue B'nai Yosef in Brooklyn. Located in a bustling and diverse neighborhood on Ocean Parkway, the murals’ cacophony of styles range from realistic to abstract. Their appearance gave rise to fierce debate about the appropriateness of such painting among rabbis and congregants because of the Second Commandment’s prohibition against graven images. </span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In this film, Rand reflects on this complex journey, fomented by the clash of ideas and beliefs, and realizes that creativity and spirituality are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they nourish one another. Archie Rand's story, told with self-deprecating humor and compassion, reveals his passion for both.<br /><br />As a member of the American Alliance of Museums, The Hebrew Home at Riverdale is committed to publicly exhibiting its art collection throughout its 32-acre campus including the Derfner Judaica Museum and a sculpture garden overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades. The Derfner Judaica Museum + The Art Collection provide educational and cultural programming for residents of the Hebrew Home, their families and the general public from throughout New York City, its surrounding suburbs and visitors from elsewhere. The Home is a nonprofit, non-sectarian geriatric organization serving more than 11,000 elderly persons in greater New York through its resources and community service programs. Museum hours: Sunday – Thursday, 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Art Collection and grounds open daily, 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Call 718 581-1596 for holiday hours and to schedule group tours, or for further information please visit the website at <a href="http://www.hebrewhome.org/art">http://www.hebrewhome.org/art</a></span></span>ahkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10440277418206873467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546225905925327564.post-83944402958436690412014-11-30T12:45:00.004-05:002014-12-02T12:08:46.255-05:00Jews And The Indian National Art Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Does the term "Indian artist" apply to anyone born in an Indian family? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What role can foreigners and members of Indian minority groups play in the Indian National Art Project as scholars, critics or artists?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is a piece of art "Indian art" because of its subject matter or its style?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In this series of richly textured, large-scale photographs, Marisa Scheinfeld documents the dramatic degradation of some of the most famous Borscht Belt hotels. The images reveal ghostly remnants of the glory years of the era, as well as powerful evidence of nature's claim on the resorts and their landscapes, and new uses to which the spaces have been put in recent years. </span></span><br />

Known as the Borscht Belt, the resorts of Sullivan and Ulster County combined recreational activities with nighttime entertainment, especially stand-up comedy, which was born in the region's theaters and showrooms. At its peak during the post-WW II era, the region known as the Borscht Belt sustained more than six hundred year-round hotels, as well as over a thousand bungalow colonies and summer camps.</span></span>ahkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10440277418206873467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546225905925327564.post-84960729470196230792014-11-30T10:32:00.003-05:002014-12-01T12:33:23.645-05:00100 Views of New Jerusalem by Michael Korosty<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, New York, will be exhibiting <b>Robert Kirschbaum</b>’s print folio/artist’s book, “The 42-Letter Name,” along with 3 pieces from the artist’s “Devarim" series of machined aluminum sculpture, from December 12, 2014–April 12, 2015, in MAG’s <a href="http://mag.rochester.edu/exhibitions/robert-kirschbaums-42-letter-name/" target="_blank">Lockhart Gallery</a>. <br /><br />Fusing Judaic concepts of sacred space with forms derived from traditional South Asian religious art, Robert Kirschbaum’s The 42-Letter Name is a meditation upon divinity, creation and faith. Each page of the folio references a letter of one of the secret names of God. Kirschbaum’s invented language of mystical symbols evokes Hebrew letters, the sacred space of the Temple and Jewish ritual objects.<br /><br />The artist has said “many layers of memory are invested in this work,” including preparations for his bar mitzvah, an industrial arts class in high school, and a 1966 visit to MAG as an undergraduate which sparked his life-long interest in the art of India and South </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Did Jacob’s sons walk the ancient paths of their land trailed by tribesmen and women hoping to get a glimpse? Did they have an entourage? Would they be living in Hollywood today? Did their friends and family hit them up for extra livestock? The Twelve Tribes Project seeks to answer these questions. <br /><br />New York's JEP initiative features one innovative artist each year and has selected <b>Jan Lauren Greenfield</b> for the 2014-2015 cycle. Ms. Greenfield’s Twelve Tribe Project, which opens December 9, examines the archetypes and symbols associated with each of the twelve tribes and replaces them with a pop culture star. Greenfield’s research was derived from years of study of traditional scripture, exegetical text, and shamanic interpretation. The biographical data and film history of each actor was then matched with a corresponding tribe.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />In this exclusive interview with the Jewish Art Salon, Ms. Greenfield answers a few questions about her new show.</span></span><br />

Israel was the name G-d gave Jacob and his 12 sons and their descendants make up the different tribes .<br /><br />A few years ago I was living in California and got involved with earth based Judaism. An embodying of the teachings where the earth , the directions and the ritual becomes part of the celebration of Judaism. I did intensive learnings and began to explore the symbology of the 12 tribes. I also included Dinah, Jacob’s only daughter as the 13 piece in the series.<br /><br />Dinah represents the moon in the series. When you see the number 12 the association goes to the signs of the zodiac and then Dinah becomes representation of the moon or the 13th symbol.<br /><br />JAS: How long were you working on this? Did you know that you wanted to do this type of series when you were in California?<br /><br />JLG: I get that question often and it's a hard one to answer because in some ways it's project of been working on for about five years. I pretty soon knew that I wanted to create some visual representation of the 12 tribes but it would actually take me a couple years, before the final piece, including the pop culture tribe, clicked.<br /><br />JAS: Can you speak a little bit more about making art and your process?<br /><br />JLG: So the idea starts in my head and take anywhere from a week germinating in there to months or in the case of The Twelve Tribe project a few years. Once I begin working on canvas things can move quickly especially if I have all the images I want and if there is little manipulation or transferring that I am doing. There is a great quote that is something like- Art is the refuse left behind by someone in deep personal transformation. I often feel like that. Sometimes the work I have made is like the shedding of the snake’s skin. <br /><br />JAS: And what's next for you?<br /><br />JLG: Well the 12 Tribes show opening reception is on the December ninth at the Jewish Education Project . Early in 2015 in January I'll be launching my book at the Sundance film Festival. And I'm hoping to take the 12 tribes project to the next level and who knows maybe even in Israel.<br /><br />The Exhibit is open to the public.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Although Ukeles took a seminal position in early conceptual and feminist art, and is represented in almost every anthology of 1960s and 1970s artists, her work has not yet been explored for its wider significance. The exhibition presents major works spanning a decade of production and is based on a show at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts gallery in New York 1998. This "tikkun olam project" is the first solo exhibition of Ukeles's practice in Australia.

As Mierle Laderman Ukeles’ Manifesto was intended as a rejection of “progress” as a principle of capitalism, the Enlightenment idea of “progress” has long become objectionable in the leftist intellectual landscape. Nevertheless, the works in this exhibition resonate with, contradict, and deviate from Kojève’s interpretation of dialectic and “progress”.

<span style="font-size: small;">Handmade in Israel of Mahogany wood, this tangram design is inspired by an ancient Chinese puzzle. It adds a sense of cultural fusion to the Jewish holiday of Chanukah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Invented in China during the Song Dynasty, </span>the tangram is a dissection
puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put
together to form shapes. The objective of the puzzle is to form a
specific shape using all seven pieces, which may not overlap. See NY Times article <a href="http://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/tmagazine/2014/12/15/a-modern-modular-menorah/?smid=tw-tmagazine&_r=0&referrer=" target="_blank">here.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In Beacon NY her </span><span style="font-size: small;">community sukkah incorporated a wall installation consisting of large
sheets of vellum, on which are written stories of discovery. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Each cut-out
rectangle symbolizes an interview conducted with participants in her project “a
priori”. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">she records and collects narratives of people, whose curiosity and attempts to make
sense of memories, stories, and facts eventually led to the disclosure of their
Jewish ancestry. She inquires about consequences of this discovery and reasons for
its concealment.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">With
“a priori” she sifts through the meaning of fragmented narratives and their effect
on one’s sense of self. The discovery of a family secret, often conceived out
of necessity and passed on from generation to generation, carries the potential
for revision and melioration. The effects of such revelations on my
participants’ lives vary greatly, and with “a priori” she reveals these
disclosures and their ability to transform. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">It made it into a performance/video festival in Venice and will be shown there in December 2014.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px;">This art exhibition featuring the paintings of Chicago-based artist Ellen Holtzblatt</span><span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px;"> will be on display through December at Josef Glimer Gallery, 207 W. Superior, Chicago, IL. </span></span></div>

<div style="color: #141923;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px;">Ellen Holtzblatt's work is fueled by the yearning exploration of the connection between the physical and the spiritual—the forgetfulness of the earthly body and the memory that resides in the soul. Holtzblatt notes that she examines her own identity by attempting to access “a collective ancestral unconscious.”</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #222222;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In Holtzblatt's series of paintings, Morning, she explores the concepts of internally and externally imposed limitations on one's desires and passions. Her self portrait, "I Have Let You See It With Your Own Eyes" utilizes the visual and symbolic language cultivated in her past series, Yizkor, and incorporates images of a specific place. The title of the painting comes from the biblical text, in which Moses is not allowed to enter Israel. Instead, God takes him to a mountain top where Moses is permitted to view the land from a distance. Holtzblatt's landscapes represent a stark contrast with city life, and ultimately become the place where she lives in her dreams and imagination. </span></span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This documentary-in-progress portrays the Jewish community of Mumbai. With the support of a Fulbright Fellowship, Benjamin interviewed and filmed surviving members of this ancient settlement which has kept its Judaism vibrant through the centuries but is rapidly disappearing.</span><br />

<div style="min-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px;">Benjamin, now resident in the United States, is originally from Mumbai. This film is an outgrowth of her painting which is inspired by her childhood as a Jew in predominantly Hindu and Muslim India and her life in America today. In her art she blends the ancient and the modern, combining the traditions of Indian miniature painting and Sephardic icons with contemporary art practice. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">November's issue of Sh'ma includes a collection of essays on what Judaism teaches about the question of privacy vs. openness. How does the mezuzah frame not only the door of our home, but also who we are as public and private people? When do we protect confidences, and when is keeping secrets morally untenable? <br />The recent news about alleged voyeurism at a Washington mikveh — a place where privacy is an absolute necessity — raises questions not only about the behavior of the voyeur, but also about the obligation of communal leaders to shed a public light on wrongdoing.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Other conversations in this issue:</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Dov Greenberg</b>: As a Chabad rabbi, I do not covet privacy; rather, my family and I open ourselves with love to the outside world, and in so doing, we — along with the Jewish students who visit us — are transformed.<br /><br /><b>Sacha Litman</b>: We need to work as a collective set of organizations to pool data, learn more about each individual Jew's interests, and get smarter about providing people with the right opportunity at the right time.<br /><br /><b>Ira Stone</b>: How open to be, how much of our private lives to share with others in the public sphere, is a question that looms larger and larger in our culture today. Negotiating between the private and the public is something that various streams of Jewish tradition have wrestled with.<br /><br /><b>Adina Levin</b>: Do people overshare on social media, and does this cause harm? A look at the writings of a sociologist and a Jewish ethicist illustrate very different approaches to this subject.<br /><br /><b>Highlights from this month's S-Blog include:</b><br />Alon Ferency asks, "Is it possible to lie to God?"<br /><br />Yael Roberts wonders who else may be watching us when we think we are alone — especially in light of the alleged abuse of privacy at a Washington D.C. mikveh.</span></span><br />
