Exhibit Schedule
Isaac Brynjegard-Bialik
Paper Midrash
Sept 3–Oct 11, 2019
Artist Isaac Brynjegard-Bialik cuts up comic books and reassembles them into work made of clean lines and patterns, sinuous shapes and sharp edges, large fields of color and small intimate spaces.
The art begins with text and is influenced by elements of the natural world and how tradition understands its connection to the Divine. Brynjegard-Bialik draws parallels between comic book mythologies and religious traditions to delve into the stories that make us human.
Viviana Tagar
Jerusalem: Art and Mystery
Oct 16–Dec 6, 2019
Jerusalem: Art and Mystery is a photographic exhibition by Viviana Tagar, photographer and architectural journalist. It presents the importance of the capital for the people of the three monotheistic religions in an artistic and unique way and depicts the daily life of Jerusalem.
Tagar is published regularly in top architectural magazines. Her photographs are widely exhibited in Israel and abroad and have gained special recognition in South America.
Julianne Kelley
The Secret Life of Trees
Jan 6–Feb 21, 2020
We are only just beginning to understand and appreciate the secret life of trees. Trees or people, we are all in it together. Trees live in community with each other, and with their environment. So do human beings. An exhibit to coincide with the holiday of Tu B’Shevat, artist Julianne Kelley expresses and shows the web of connections and relationships among humans and non-humans. A walk in the woods is a reminder that none of us walks alone.
