    Abstract: Die Ausstellung erinnert an die im Nationalsozialismus verfolgte, jüdische Familie Chotzen aus Wilmersdorf. Über ihr Leben haben zu verschiedenen Zeiten Menschen Zeugnis abgelegt. Die Ausstellung folgt ihren Wegen des Erinnerns bis in die Gegenwart und eröffnet einen Raum zwischen historischer Forschung, Kunst und Erinnerung. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die künstlerischen Arbeiten von Inbar Chotzen. Die in Israel lebende Nachfahrin hat sich in aktuellen Arbeiten ihre Familiengeschichte wiederangeeignet. Ihre Werke stehen für ihren Umgang mit der familiären Holocausterfahrung. Einen wichtigen Zugang bot ihr der Familiennachlass, den die Gedenk- und Bildungsstätte Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz bewahrt. Am 13. November führt sie selbst durch die Ausstellung und spricht über ihren persönlichen Zugang zur Familiengeschichte, ihren Arbeitsprozess sowie ihre künstlerischen Techniken. „Ich wollte die Familienmitglieder wirklich kennen lernen. Während ich malte, wurden sie mir so sehr lieb. Vertraut, voller Leben, echte Menschen. Ich malte sie voller Selbstsicherheit, sportlich und gesund, in der Natur, im Sonnenlicht. So fern wie möglich von der Vorstellung verfolgter Juden, wie man sie in den Bildern des Grauens der Holocaust-Opfer zu sehen gewohnt war.“ (Inbar Chotzen)

    Abstract: The work of Eva Hesse (1936–1970) has been the focus of growing attention over the past few decades. With recent major exhibitions in San Francisco, London, and Wiesbaden, Hesse’s tremendous contribution to the art world of the 1960s and '70s is now recognized by scholars and the general public alike. These two lavishly produced volumes are the first in a major new publishing initiative: a four-volume catalogue raisonné of Hesse’s known artwork in all media: painting, sculpture, and works on paper. During her career, Hesse created 135 paintings and 176 sculptures, objects, and test pieces. As her paintings are less well known than her sculptures, Volume I will be a revelation to many. Revealed here are 28 previously unknown paintings, including works that date from her time as an art student at Yale University. Hesse’s sculpture is more widely known but is presented here anew with many recently commissioned photographs and fascinating archival images. Twenty-one previously unknown sculptures are presented in Volume II, including two painted wooden boxes presumably made in New York in 1964, in which the first signs of Hesse’s shift from painting to sculpture occurred, and numerous previously unknown test pieces.

    Abstract: The Contemporary Jewish Museum continued its fifteen year tradition of inviting contemporary artists to re-examine Jewish ritual objects with the exhibition Making Change: 100 Artists Interpret the Tzedakah Box. The subject of this invitational, the tzedakah box (or pushke in Yiddish) was a traditionally humble container found in synagogues, Jewish homes and institutions in which charitable donations are deposited. This ritual object was chosen because it represents a tradition which embodies community outreach, service and empowerment to others. Hebrew for "righteousness," tzedakah is the act of charity in Jewish culture and faith. For Making Change, the CJM invited a diverse group of artists from all over the country - from a variety of cultural backgrounds, states of residence, perspectives and media - on one common criterion: their demonstrated commitment to work on community empowerment. The goal was to find artists who reveal the meaning and relevance of tzedakah today - not just for Jews, but for all people. Each artist was given the same directions, background information, and dimensional requirements. But the results were extraordinarily diverse: wooden boxes that can't be opened; precious silver wrapped as gifts; containers made of drinking straws, subway lamps, or rice; objects that rewarded you for making a deposit; and others you couldn't put money into if you tried. Although each work reflected an individualized concept, three fundamental approaches could be distilled. The first situated the tzedakah box as a site of memory, a marker of a specific time in a Jewish past. The second championed tzedakah itself, but also questioned its contemporary relevance. The last offered the box as a kinetic site of doing and acting - a catalyst for change. No box, however, could be limited to a single category; as with tzedakah, there is a great deal of conceptual intersection and fluidity. These works were not passive objects, but enlisted us to consider our part in the act of tzedakah, and mobilized us to make change. In the imagination of these artists, the ancient concept of tzedakah was put into action for a new millennium.

    Abstract: This exhibition examines the work of five figurative artists working in Britain in the 1950s, who each had a strong identification with the place in which they chose to live and work and which formed, for a significant part of their careers, the primary focus of their practice. Each associated themselves with a particular place: Eardley - Townhead in Glasgow; Fell, the mining community and landscape of her native Aspatria, Cumbria; Frankfurther - London's East End and its multi-cultural working-class communities; Herman - Ystradgynlais in South Wales with its indigenous mining community; and Lowry - his hometown of Manchester and its industrial, multi-peopled cityscape. This exhibition links these five seemingly disparate artists by uncovering a network of relationships, both personal and professional, and their shared exploration of particular artistic concerns and motifs. This exhibition is one of the outcomes of the Eva Frankfurther Research and Curatorial Fellowship for the Study of Emigré Artists.

    Abstract: Sleepless presents six new commissions alongside a selection of previous works from the last two years in a site-specific exhibition of photography, film, drawings and three-dimensional objects providing viewers with a powerfully emotive environment by the contemporary photographer and installation artist Vered Lahav. Subtle references to the relationship between gender and identity and the use of objects are clearly visible in her new commissions such as Anatomy of Time I, a single photograph of a white paper envelope containing children’s milk teeth wrapped in a white lace handkerchief, which looks to tackle issues of innocence.A significant new series of six photographs called The Lovers I, shows books with yellowing paper purchased from charity shops, inscribed with sentimental messages from lover’s written opposite the bleak reality of the price of the book. Here the relationship of the material in the photographs is important, where they show a record of past and present romantic exchanges.Finally, in the series entitled Scrimshaw, a Dutch word meaning to ‘waste one time’ and a craft adopted by whale men in the 1800s, Lahav reflects on the whalers voyages taking a contrasting woman’s perspective of a personal passage and journey, looking at issues of femininity and traditional craft methods, continuing the ideas of innocence. Lahav’s work explores two contrasting yet corresponding elements of the modern city, that of the ‘maker’ (the architect) and the ‘user’ (dweller). Sleepless presents new research into this environment through investigating three core elements – buildings, women and men. By acting as a social observer of these themes, she challenges traditional perceptions of female and male individuality and relationships and their interaction with the urban environment. She is interested in telling stories of fantasy and reality, which suggest personal histories of individuals and families as well as universal themes such as childhood, myth, memory and desire. The title of the exhibition Sleepless refers to insomnia as an analogy for the inability to access a place of security, rest and recuperation.Lahav is best known for her beautiful photographs and unusual installations, where her notion of ‘less and less image can give more and more meaning’ through her use of pure stark white simplistic yet complex compositions. As with her previous work, Sleepless can be defined as a form of mixed-media collage, where the relationship between the placement of the images and objects in a three dimensional space is important. The exhibition exists less as individual components and more as a whole because of the specific dialogues that have been constructed between each image and object.

    Abstract: Envisioning Maps is an exhibition of paintings, sculptures, and prints by contemporary American and international artists who use actual maps, real or imagined, as metaphors for human relationships, historical experience, social values, global politics, and issues of identity and heritage. The exhibition offers contemporary expressions of the full range of maps throughout the centuries: maps of projected travels or memories of journeys; maps depicting national boundaries or natural resources; maps of the known world or places yet to be explored; maps of worlds real and lost; maps of migration, exile, and immigration; maps for navigation or pilgrimage; maps of military campaigns or ecological disasters; maps of the earth and the constellations; and maps of ancient agricultural fields to the latest NASA and GPS navigational tools. Laura Kruger, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) Museum Curator, explains, "A map is a visualization of a particular surface pattern of the earth showing shape, size, and relative proportions. It might include physical landmarks such as water features, geological outcroppings, settlements, unexplored areas. A map can allude to other factors such as politics, population density, mineral resources, roads, and nationality. Vincent Varga, author of Cartographia: Mapping Civilizations, points out that those who drew the maps controlled the destiny of nations through the very power of delineating space. The graphic impact of maps of exploration, invasion, and rebellion is more memorable and vivid than the long explanatory texts accompanying them."

    Abstract: Not long after the end of World War II, two suitcases from Terezín, the so-called model ghetto designed by the Nazi propaganda machine to showcase creative endeavors, were delivered to members of what remained of the Jewish community of Prague. The contents of the suitcases included children's drawings, paintings, and collages made at Terezín thanks to the efforts of a teacher interned there. Rediscovered in the 1950s, the pictures, by then housed at the Jewish Museum in Prague, were exhibited, and over time some were published. Friedl Dicker-Brandeis was the remarkable woman who taught art to many of Terezín's children before she was killed at Auschwitz. While she has been valorized for her heroic efforts as a teacher, her approach to teaching art has remained unexamined. This book and the accompanying exhibition, curated by Linney Wix at the University of New Mexico Art Museum, offer a closer look at the methods and philosophy of Dicker-Brandeis's teaching, the history behind her approach, and its possible psychological effects on the children she taught. The book includes biographical and art historical information on Dicker-Brandeis, and sheds light on her roles as an artist, teacher, and heroine behind Nazi lines in the Second World War. Published in cooperation with the University of New Mexico Art Museum.
