"Embodied Light" by Richard McBee

The Jewish Art Salon's exhibit is mentioned in the next to last paragraph.

EMBODIED LIGHT: 9-11 IN 2011: AN INSTALLATION BY TOBI KAHN

 Tragedies do not function to teach us well-ordered lessons.  Rather they demand that we turn inward so that we may absorb their impact and, over time, somehow deal with the horror of a violently wounded world.

That is what Tobi Kahn's installation "Embodied Light: 9-11 in 2011" accomplishes.  He has created a meditative space, inviting us to spend some quiet time in the gallery, absorbing the spare wall texts by noted author Nessa Rapoport and contemplate his intriguing installation.  In return we will return to the towers, their tragic end, and gain a complex perspective on what is a defining event of our time.

Jewish Art Salon members have created “memory blocks”, with drawings, paintings or inscriptions that evoke their memory of the day.

On September 13th, 6pm these blocks will be brought to the gallery, where Tobi Kahn is exhibiting "Embodied Light: 9-11 in 2011". Artists and writers will share their block and/or their memories of 9-11 and Kahn will discuss his exhibit. After the 
session, at 8pm, the blocks will be gathered and the next day they will be installed as "towers" in the windows.                                                                                              

Kahn’s exhibit will feature 220 memory blocks, handed out by him to various New Yorkers and returned to him with markings that commemorate the day. These blocks will be continually rearranged over the length of the exhibition. The Jewish Art Salon's blocks will be displayed as a separate exhibit.
